Eye looks droopy and hollow by the end of the day, do I have ptosis? (Photos)

Question

My eye looks droopy and hollow by the end of the day. Is this ptosis? How can this be fixed?

Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD · Answer

Some might call this latent ptosis. In the first picture you have market brow compensation to counter the heaviness of the upper eyelids. In the second picture you manifest less brow compensation. This type of variability is normal. You do not need ptosis surgery but an anchor blepharoplasty can stabilize the central levator tendon so you have much less variability in the upper eyelid position and shape. There is no substitute for a detailed in person assessment.
