Will ptosis surgery be enough for my pronounced eye asymmetry?

June 23, 2023
Asked By:Alejandra67956 in Seattle, Washington

Hi, I’ll start off with: I’m a 27 year old female, born with very mild cerebral palsy that mostly affects my foot. I have ptosis in my left eye, and my eyebrow on that side is higher than my right eyebrow. Both eyebrows are also different in shape. I actually prefer my left side, the side with the heavier lid. It does not obstruct my vision and I think it adds character, but both sides are asymmetrical and that is the main issue. How should I go about getting the results I want?
