Am I eligible for ptosis repair? (Photo)

My ptosis has been getting worse in one eye over the last few years, it was caused by a corneal abrasion & I would love to have it repaired before it gets worse & affects my eyesight. I was wondering if you think I would be eligible? It would be classed as cosmetic but I would rather do something about it now, thank you.

You have some brow ptosis on one side over the other. This is not generally a concern since it is these small asymmetries are generally not cosmetically concerning. However if you would like it fixed, a unilateral brow lift can correct it. It can be done under local in the office setting.

You are holding your eyebrows very high. This suggests that you are under corrected for the upper eyelid ptosis. A forehand lift would further exaggerate the position of the eyebrows. It is not an option for you. There is a drop on the market called Upneeq. I am not an Upneeq fan. I think it is...
