Brow Ptosis treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Eyebrow ptosis is a drop in the position of the eyebrow over the eye, so that its lower edge sits lower than usual and can give a tired appearance or weigh down the upper eyelid.

Common causes: It is usually related to the passage of time and the loss of firmness in the tissues, although it can also appear from weakness of the facial muscles or after facial nerve problems.

Common manifestations: A feeling of heaviness in the forehead, a dull gaze, and, in pronounced cases, a reduced upper field of vision because the excess skin presses on the eyelid.

Who to consult? Its evaluation is handled by specialists in otolaryngology and facial surgery, who distinguish between drooping of the eyebrow and other eyelid problems. If you notice a change in the position of your eyebrows that affects your vision or bothers you, the most sensible thing is to have a professional review it.
