If part of the upper eyelid is drooping down and covering too much of the iris, it will make your eyes look smaller and can even limit your vision. This problem is called ptosis (pronounced ‘tosis’) and happens when you have weakened muscles in the eyelid. This problem can affect your vision and cause you to use your forehead muscles to compensate which creates more lines and wrinkles in your forehead. In most case, an incision will be made and excess tissue and fat will be removed. The muscles are then tightened and the area is sutured. Because an incision is most often required, the double eyelid line can be made at this point if requested.

Normally, the double eyelid is reformed in a better way or created newly with ptosis correction. This is the most complex procedure surrounding the eyes and should be done by a specialist.
