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.
Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photos. You have ptosis (drooping) of the eyelid. This can be corrected by an oculoplastic surgeon with one of several methods. See an experienced oculoplastic surgeon for comprehensive evaluation and treatment guidance.
Good luck,
Thank-you for your query. Ptosis refers to the droopiness of the eyelid from impaired function of the levator muscle, that lifts the upper eyelid. It is not clear from these pictures if you have ptosis, but the slight droopiness in the corner of the eye is not ptosis by itself. Please discuss...
