Dr. Kotlus tells how to fix a droopy eyelid

A droopy eyelid (blepharoptosis) can be corrected with a surgical procedure termed "ptosis repair". Dr. Kotlus explains this procedure and how it restores eyelid balance.

He looks so good at his job. My surgery when I was 10 botched mine. I wish someone like him did my surgery.

This is a plastic eyelid surgery. Your regular eye doctor can do an initial evaluation but would usually then refer you to an oculoplastic specialist.

Omgee..ur amazing. My sister have that kind of droopy eyelid and thought it can never be fixed until we watch ur video. Could you perhaps give us an approximate amount of how much this surgery would cost. Cheers.

And do you go to a regular eye doctor to have this looked at?

[tmarie]

Thank you for this information. Along with my ptosis, my eye lids also "vibrate" a lot. It's hard to explain...like twitch involuntary. It's this common with droopy eyelids or could this be the result of another problem? I have an appointment with my doctor soon, just wanted as much feedback as possible before then.

Hello. I thank you very much for this video which finally convyed what^s wrong with my left eye. My left eyelid is drooping like this. I visited an eye specialist in Germany, she told there is nothing wrong. Because she was just focusing on my vision which is ofocurse fine. Kindly please let me know what causes this eye drooping and how can i fix it without surgery?

Can eye exercises strengthen the eyelid, thus avoiding surgery?

hi doc, is there a natural way to get rid of extra skin on the eyelids? or any prevention from having extra skin on the eyelids?

I am curious how the double eye lid look is created if the person has a small lid area to begin with since the incision is made at the natural folding/crease line?  is the incision made more above that line??  I'm only referring to the double eyelid surgery.

I'm 17 years old and my eyes are like the left eye of the woman in in the pic is this normal?? it's freaking me out and I don't know what I should do to stop it do I need surgery or smth?

[holdem]

doc I went in with one droopy eyebrow and cmae out with a droopy eyelid and the brow is not even fixed and im freakin out... what should I do .. my eye is just like the one you showed now

[achnel]

i have been born with a natural ptosis on my left eyelid. i still have it to this day at the age of 16. with my droopy lefteyelid, i cant seem to be able to control how to widen my left eye and such but can only open and close it. and when i sleep, apparently, my left eye is open. if i were to correct this, would i be able to control my left eye? like making my eyes look bigger by raising my eyebrows? if i sleep, would my left eye be open? since the surgery is to tighten the muscles after all. and does this ptosis surgery repair generally an affordable price to pay or is it quite expensive?
