I am considering ptosis surgery. I have already seen an oculoplastic surgeon who told me I need b/l correction as there is droopiness after correction of my eye with ptosis. My eyelid is very mild. I am afraid that it gets worse after correction, more asymmetry etc... what are the risks ? how much is the chance that it gets worse?
I need to know what surgical procedures would help me out for a more awake attractive appearance. This is one of my only insecurities and fixing it would be golden! I LOOK LIKE A ZOMBIE HELLPP
I have read conflicting answers online, some say that the eyelid will be most open or lifted in the initial days after surgery and then start to drop till final height is achieved in the coming weeks. The other point of view is that the eyelid starts lower and continues to rise as the weeks progress achieving max. Height around six weeks after surgery. what is the accurate information on how eyelid height typically changes post surgery on one eye? Thank you
Hi! I currently have a little bit of a sleepy look to my eyes and have been told I have heavy eyelids. I was recommended to do a bilateral ptosis correction, which some doctors told me would relieve some of the heaviness I feel throughout the day. I, however, wanted a procedure that would feminize my eyes so to speak and wanted something that would lift the outer edges of my eyes so to appear more upturned. Can a ptosis correction slightly do that? I heard there are other procedures like canthoplasties, but i'm not sure i would be a good candidate. What is the difference between the two?
I have congenital unilateral ptosis that I am interested in having repaired. I am wondering what the time line is on the recovery with the Muller's technique? I am getting married in about 4-5 months so I would like a professional's opinion as to whether there is enough time to have the procedure done now or if it is best to wait until after the wedding.
For the longest time, I just thought I had a lazy eye and would get ptosis to fix it but last year, I saw more of the unevenness and how droopy my right eye/side feels and looks. I also noticed the bulging in both eyes. After tons of google searches and researching, I finally found out about orbital decompression surgery. I had a consultation with an oculoplastic surgeon, and he recommended a OD, eyebrow lift and fat transfer under eyes. My lingering concerns are the fact that my left and right eye are so different. The left side of my face appears to be lifted higher more than the left. My brow, eye and cheek. The right side seems to droop, and the eye is lower. My concern is that my left eye is rounded and appears smaller while the left is more almond shaped and lower, but the surgeon said when he took measurements, the left eye was more pronounced than the right. My face itself is very uneven. I'm confused and wondering if I should go through with the surgery at this point. I've already had a second visit with the surgeon, and he said it will be more balanced, not exactly even. I've tried to get a second opinion but the surgeons I've contacted consultation fees are $500. I'm just hoping for more insight and opinions. Thank you
Im 25 year old male with multiple facial injuries from sports, mostly baseball and football. I have had drooping eyelids present for the past few years but I have started to see noticeable drooping in pictures and would like it corrected.
I asked an earlier question about a blethroplasty, but I was advised I may not be a candidate. I was told to look into ptosis repair, which is not something I understand. I want to see if I can open my eyes a bit to contradict my heavier brow bone. Would love a few more opinions so I can talk intelligently at my consult next month. Ptosis repair vs canthroplasty vs blethroplasty.
For a few years now i have noticed my left eyelid is lower than the right. I dont believe it was always like this (unless it was very subtle to begin with). From minimal research, im not sure if it may be ptosis, extra eyelid skin, or something else. Is there a way to fix this, and what might it be?
