There are many reasons one can experience ptosis (drooping of an eyelid). Some people can be born with it (like me). But it can also be acquired later in life. If you deal with acquired ptosis, then I would talk to your ophthalmologist about it. If you've had ptosis for most of your life and you're interested in getting it addressed, you may ask your derm or ophtho about @upneeq. Causes: there's weakness to the muscle that raises the eyelid (congenital, aging) damage to the nerves that control the eyelid muscle (injury, stroke, Horner syndrome, myasthenia gravis) looseness of the skin on the upper eyelid (normal aging) swelling of the eyelid (stye, allergic reaction) #ptosis #droopyeyelid #upneeq #stye #hoodedeyelids #dermatologist #ophthalmologist
