What treatment can be done for a drooping eyelid?

August 26, 2016
Asked By:Renamaesheila in Van Alstyne, TX

I've had eyelid surgery on both upper and lower many years ago. One eye and brow has dropped below the level of the opposite eye. My eye looks larger though it may be due to the lower lid drooping. I know I need corrective surgery, but I have a very difficult time finding an oculoplastic surgeon with experience.
