Can ptosis be corrected with surgery?

Patient's question:

I was born with bilateral ptosis (drooping upper eyelids), and the doctor said it's moderate. Also, my forehead wrinkles are very deep, and I can't look up because my eyes must be lifted to do so. Additionally, I have inturned eyelashes and epicanthal folds. What should I do? I want to have surgery, but I've heard from many people that it can't guarantee both eyes will be the same size, and the eyelids may droop again after some time. What kind of help do I need: upper eyelid ptosis?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in your case, the weakness of the levator palpebrae superioris can be addressed with this surgery. This is a clinical condition that can be improved through the procedure to enhance your ability to open your eyes. Upper eyelid ptosis may lead to vision impairment in patients and should be treated promptly. The main principle of treatment is to prevent vision deterioration and improve the patient's appearance. Specific treatment methods include surgical intervention, medication, and other approaches.
