Do you see an unevenness/ptosis in my eyes? What sort of surgery would I benefit from? (photos)

February 7, 2023
Asked By:BlueIto

I have, what I believe is ptosis in my one eye. Looking back on old photos, I’ve always had it, but it seems to have gotten worse with age. I am a 50 year old female. I often have tired, heavy feeling eyes, pressure in my forehead and behind my eyes (?), and occasionally, my eyes feel gritty. With age and loose skin and facial muscles that aren’t as tight, my brows are heavier and the ptosis seems worse?

Answer: The respondent who states you do not have ptosis and need a forehead lift-no that is not right.
