Is this ptosis? And can it be fixed? (Photo)

It does seem you have some degree of ptosis on the right eyelid.  However, a careful exam is needed to confirm this and to determine the type of surgery that is needed.  Good luck and be safe.John T. Nguyen, MD, FACS, FICSDouble Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

It does appear that your right upper eyelid may be ptotic but only an exam can say for sure. I would recommend an in-person consultation with a board certified facial plastic or oculoplastic surgeon well versed in ptosis repair.Best wishes!

Thank you for the question and photos. I am sorry that your eyelids are bothering you so much. It is difficult to determine from your photos exactly what the problem is. It does appear that your have ptosis of the right upper eyelid, but there seems to be some retraction of the left upper eyelid. This could be the result of looking slightly upward when taking your photograph. Ptosis is easily corrected with surgery by an experienced oculoplastic surgeon. If the eyelid is blocking the vision, then it is considered a functional medical problem. If the vision is not effected by the lid, then it is considered cosmetic. I hope you find this useful. Good luck.
