## Quick answer

Ptosis surgery aims to raise an upper eyelid that sits too low. The appropriate repair depends on the cause, lifting function and eye health. Mr Mohamed Mohyudin assesses drooping eyelids in West Yorkshire. An examination is needed to distinguish ptosis from excess skin or a low eyebrow and to discuss benefits, alternatives and risks.

## FAQs

### Is ptosis repair the same as an eyelid lift?

Not necessarily. Ptosis concerns the eyelid’s position; blepharoplasty concerns excess skin and other tissue. Examination establishes which problem is present.

### Can both upper eyelids be assessed?

Yes. The assessment considers the relationship between the lids as well as each eye’s health. Whether one or both should be treated depends on the findings.

### Can you guarantee equal eyelid heights?

No. The plan aims for an appropriate position and comfortable closure, but asymmetry and further adjustment are possible and should be discussed before surgery.
