Thank you for sharing your question and photo. When performed by an experienced Oculoplastic Surgeon, ptosis repair is usually quite easy and quick for the patient. Daily use of certain eyedrops can raise the eyelids, but your intraocular pressure needs to be monitored. Good luck,

Thank you for sharing your question. There are subtle differences between internal ptosis procedures. If they do not elevate the eyelid sufficiently, an external approach can be done. I hope this helps. Good luck,

Need photos and examination to tell you accurately but probably would benefit from Botox injection and/or ptosis surgery. See an oculoplastic specialist fr evaluation.

There are many outstanding oculoplastic surgeons in NYC.  I suggest you go on more than one consultation with ASOPRS accredited surgeons and choose one that you are comfortable with and has shared examples of their work that matches your goals.

Thank you for sharing your question. You might have ptosis (dropping eyelid) causing compensatory brow elevation. If this is the case, correcting the ptosis will lead to self-correction of the eyebrow. See an experienced Oculoplastic Surgeon for comprehensive evaluation and guidance.  Good luck,
