My left eye lid droops low when I'm tired and I want to get it fixed. I'm not sure whether it can be fixed or not because it's not a constant problem. Can it? And if so, what would the procedure be called?

Answer: Yes it is fixable.
The condition is called ptosis. Fellowship trained oculoplastic surgeons are the best trained surgeons for fixing these issues. Your best bet is to find a surgeon who is both a board certified ophthalmologist and a fellowship trained oculoplastic surgeon. The American Society for Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery maintains a geographic directory on their website that will help you find a highly qualified surgeon in your area: ASOPRS.org.

Answer: Eyelid ptosis Thank you for your question. it is very difficult to assess someone's eyes/eyelids based only on photographs. it is important that you seek consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a complete examination of the periocular area. It is possible that you have eyelid ptosis (droopy eyelid) and a combination of this repair with some other kind of lower eyelid support procedure (canthopexy/plasty) may give you the result you're looking for. Please make sure you do your homework and find the right person who was then many of these procedures before undertaking this surgery. Best of Luck !
