Female: After the operation, will my eyelid look the same as it did before?

Dr. Prasad: The answer to this question is based on the objective of the eyelid surgery. If you are having ptosis surgery then elevating higher the eyelid should improve the appearance of your eyes. If you have unilateral ptosis or ptosis affecting one eye, I aim to maximize the symmetry and shape with the other eye so your eyes can look the way they did before you developed ptosis.

After Ptosis Surgery, Will My Eyelid Look the Same as Before They Began to Droop?

Dr. Amiya Prasad discusses the factors of ptosis surgery and how it is performed to make the upper eyelids look like they did before ptosis, or like the patient never had ptosis.
