How can a doctor correct a drooping eyelid?

Depends on problem: A drooping eyelid can have several causes. It may be sagging of the eyelid downward which is called ptosis. This can have several causes. A drooping appearance may be due to excess eyelid skin or a drooping brow. These are usually managed with surgery. You should consult with a surgeon experienced in eyelid surgery to get the right diagnosis and thus the right treatment.

Surgery: Levator surgery usually corrects a ptotic eyelid. Either reattach or advancing the levator should correct it. Make sure you do not have myesthenia gravis
