Would ptosis surgery restore some balance to my face? (Photos)

May 13, 2023
Asked By:sswb in Omaha, Nebraska

The ptosis in my right eye has become worse with age. My left eye is also hooded. I’d feel SO much more confident if I had symmetry. I feel this is the 1st thing people notice & it’s impossible to hide. Is the symmetry in the “after” photo possible? Would ptosis sx lower my brow, high crease, & pull the retracted fat to the front to reduce hollowness? Would I also need a bleph on my left eye? I’ve never had any procedures, filler, or used lash serums. I really hope surgery could correct this.
