Hey everyone. I was born with Ptosis on my left eye. It’s
definitely rough but know we aren’t alone on this journey!
Hello, I want to make ptosis grup in whatsapp, because I also ptosis girl in my right eye. Do u want to join? I am so glad if u want it. We can share what our experience there😊
OMG I have ptosis on my left eye too :( I feel so self conscious about it.
@@prasenjitmajumder4853 Where r u from?
ok i know it's hard but we need to accept it
Safira Salsabilla okay add me
hey guys I have ptosis too, and I never actually knew that that was a sickness or an illness I always thought of it as a special thing and usually would show it to my friends and be like "do you know that I can split my face and give two different emotions through my eyes at the same time!!😅 guys litteraly I know it's sad noticing a body deficiency but trust me there's so many other things else to be sad about in life and it's not that affective to your careers or relationships I model and act which is the two most careers that require good look so go walk around and do whatever you want and don't even be ashamed or have low self esteem of it, your eyes almost closed or open will always look beautiful.
Same to me, but maybe our's ptosis level not too sick.. that's why we still can enjoy ours life likes others..
I know mind over matter. But ptosis is ruining my life. I've become so self conscious over it. Can't get a job, can't go out to pubs, can't meet up with friends. I just need a sign to help me get through this or overcome it.
yeah and u had to do surgery for it, god damn it
You need faith, man. I had that illness on my left eye. I had surgery. But it helped a little. Not that on satisfactory level. But later on, I learned about my religion, Islam, and it says "God doesn't look at your wealth or beauty, but He looks at your deeds and soul".
@@aqlli_yechimlar Religion won't fix insecurities for me. Maybe therapy or surgery. I have future operation so hopefully it fixes it to my level.
@@stuisart6108 , a religion don't fix you phsically, but it can fix your worldview.
@@aqlli_yechimlar hlo bro I hv also this problem I also wanna go for surgery please tell me bro about it please please 🙏🏻😊
I'm 14 and i hate this cause i don't let anyone take pic of me couse of this i look bad
Yeah it sorta sucks but there’s not a whole lot u can do about it. Over time I’ve gotten used to raising my eyebrow so it looks normal in pictures. It’s up to your muscle memory to remember how much to raise it though
Same here
But I have this in my both eye😭😭😭😭😭
Same 😢
@@medicfdumbo there’s not a whole lot u can do about it? The video explains the actions a doctor can take to fix it tho?
@@MrTahref its almost like surgery costs money
I have ptosis in my right eye and I'm very self conscious from it
@Marquis Beverley yeah. It's very uncomfortable
Im really a scared i woke up today with a smaller right eye and yesterday it was swollen but normal sized also my dad has abdroopy eyelid so im really scared and dont know what to do
samee
Hot Cocoa mines in my left 😖

Hey, a lot of you are asking about ptosis surgery. Since I was born, I have had ptosis on both my eyes. It was starting to damage my spine because I was leaning my head backwards in order to see, and so the doctor suggested I get surgery. Since i was only 10 years old, the surgery took 2 hours, and I was fully under anesthesia. Today I am 14, and I regret having the surgery. Although my eyelids are a little bit higher, you can still CLEARLY tell I have ptosis. But the worst thing is; before the surgery I was able to fully close my eyes, but now since my eyelids were lifted, I can no longer fully shut my eyes. I’m really insecure about that. So PLEASE think twice before deciding to have this surgery, because IN MY CASE ONLY, it didn’t go too well :,(
I’m so sorry to hear that!!! :( thank you for sharing. I hope they are able to help you with this.
Yeah, surgery not always helps.
@Shumaila rizwan Shumaila can’t you also close your eyes ?please tell me ,I am considering having a surgery,so feedback will be highly appreciatable
For those who still haven't had surgery yet : 1) If you have serious ptosis that interferes with your vision then you may not have option 2) Ptosis surgery is nothing but either connecting eyelid to eyebrow muscle or shortening it that is why you may not be able to fully close your eyes (even while sleeping ) 3) I am no professional but just like you guys having ptosis in my left eye by birth so this is just what I think 4) I think if it does not interfere with your vision don't just do it for cosmetic purpose , Rest is upto you
edit- also depends if its in both eyes or not and how serious it is ; others might notice it even after the surgery as your eyes will look normal when you see straight but not when you look down
omg same. i’m 13 i had ptosis on one eye since birth. and got the surgery 4 months back. and now i regret it so much. although i try to gaslight myself that after surgery is better, it really is not. :(
in your case you can’t close both your eyes, which just sounds terrible
for me, it’s one eye, and i cannot even explain how hard it was to sleep like on so many nights.
my eye is just still. it doesn’t blink at all. and 2 months after the surgery, both eyes looked symmetrical when i looked straight. but now my ptosis is back. (after 4 months into the surgery only) and my eye is still kinda swollen too. it looks so weird when i look down. i just wish so bad that i hadn’t gotten this surgery :(
I have ptosis and as a kid, I didn’t know I had ptosis, so people kept asking me and telling me to go to the hospital;(
One of the best medical channel on youtube.
Keep up this good work ❤️
I am in school and looking up information on Ptosis. This was very helpful Thank you for posting it.
i have ptosis in both eyes and people keep saying i'm on drugs and smashed really hurts wish i could fix it :(
Goerge lightning you can now!! It’s called CFS!! conjoint fascial sheath
I hear you George, it really gets to you when everyone keeps asking why you are tired or on drugs. Do you have trouble with double vision from the weight of the eyelids? If you do I found that a CoQ10 supplement called MitoQ has mostly eliminated the double vision for me.
You could try ptosis crutches
I also have ptosis in both eyes and im always told that i look tired or druged but im about to correkt it with surgery.
I can fix it...for 400 dollars....
I had ptosis after i had a lump on my left eyelid and now i’m suffering cause it cannot back. I’m so self conscious. And now i hate it. I feel so depressed.
Monique Obedoza I also had a lump on my left eyelid! It would ooze puss. I tried everything to get rid of the lump but nothing worked until my mom was so tired of looking at it and popped it. I think this is what caused ptosis in my left eye.
I have it in both eyes😂😂 I got comments all thru school going from “ you look sleepy” “are u sleep walking?” “U tired?” “ you high?” “You smoke before school huh?” Even had teachers approach me thinking i did drugs before school ( being black didn’t help either) ahhh and who can forget “ you Asian?” “ hey drew aren’t u supposed to be smart?”😂😂🤦🏾♂️
Tell me about it....
i always get question am i sleeping directly in my face when im fully awake. i even got accused for taking drugs 🥲.
Hahaha, i have heard of the drugs thingy. probably getting my eye fixed in 2 months
Damn bro exactly what i went thru.. I hate this condition as fuq.. And being South African makes it worse😭😭💔💔
one of my friend has same thing
I wear tinted glasses, they help with my confidence
You good lb you still fine
Same
I just realized I had this..
Me too.
Its very simplified and helpful video.
I was born with a droopier left eyelid, and I only found out about about this now. I’ve always hated how my eyes are asymmetrical
Its definitely been tough and debilitating living with this condition my entire life. Its just one of many congenital eye related complications that I suffer from. I can never have my sunglasses off without people thinking that i’m sleepy, inebriated or high due to ptosis. Its one the things that make it difficult to have a fulfilling social and dating life.
I had also Ptosis in my left eye . I'm also self conscious. And I'm getting Anxiety sometimes.
We have way to fix it
@dongysonha I've had 2 surgeries and tried the eye drops. Nothing works for mine. Mine is about 2/3 to 1/2 open. It is like the first thing everyone notices, and doctors can't figure out why it's doing it.
Me too, I use Clear Eyes for temporary relief, but it doesn't solve the problem. Still debating if I want the surgery. ugh!
Mechanical ptosis is also if you have extra (loose) skin on your eyelid. Doesn't need to be a tumor.
Nice video mate
Nice and straight forward 👌
Thanks for explaining.
I have this problem ! And i did the surgury it was really helpfull but i always had problem with my beauty ! I thought ptosis makes me ugly but now i really like my droop eye if you have this problem reading this just know that it is not that much serios and nobody cares that one of our eyes is a bit smaller than the other one ! Be proud because you are diffrent and beautifull
thanks but this only can help our selfes not a real help
What would you tell a person with two droopy eyes and it making them look sleepy and disinterested ....
I have it on my left
Thank you so... much...!!
I have ptosis on my right eye and im so insecure. Because other people see that i have a smaller eye. I always thought that other people sees me like i see myself in the mirror, but its not. After i took a picture with my back camera i noticed how other people sees me, and after that i started to hide my eye.
fun to watch, friendly also
Thank you
I was born with ptosis I’ve only been asked by a few people why my eyelids are uneven lol.
Does your ptosis ever hurt and your eyelid feels like it wants to fully close
@@connortolan3302 Mine doesnt, does yours ?
Walter White oh right, yea mine does at different periods in the day, it’s not constant though
Walter White so true. i used to be embarrassed but now i think that it's cool because it's kinda rare and when you slice your face half with your hand and look at the mirror at the same time you look like you have 2 different faces
@Marquis Beverley I agree. It's not something you want ppl to notice the first time they meet you. Especially if underneath appearances, you're really a good person.
Thanks
Amazing
Tysm
I have it on my right eye, and it bothers me sometimes, especially when I took pictures of myself. i started to think of doing blepharoplasty
Me too :( but im scared of surgeries
@@iskarabandoysoy2119 same i might get surgery though because it will help me in the long run i'll nolonger be afraid to loom people in the eye
@@mrduck3474 oh good for you :)) I hope that your surgery would be successful. I might consider doing Non Invasive Eye Surgery in the future. Try to search about it you might consider it. For now, I an putting Eyelid Glue to make it look even. Im a student BTW
@@iskarabandoysoy2119 wait what’s eyelid glue? Does that make your eyes look even if u have ptosis
@@gamerfi4773 search about it. People usually use it to have double eyelid. I think it will only works for those who have minor ptosis. I havent try it yet but i know it will work for me. You can also use eyelid tape for more stick but it is visible. You can check it on amazon
Now I know why British singer Gabrielle (famous for her 1992 song “Dreams”) wears an eyepatch or sunglasses because she had this condition above!
I’ve got this ptosis crap and it sucks!!! It just keeps getting worse as the years go on. I first noticed mine in high school I think.
anyone else has congenital amblyopia with mild ptosis. I have both in my left eye and got surgery when I was 15, and now my left lid eye looks 95% like my right one. No one notices the subtle differences in their size except me.. :)
heyy i do have mild ptosis in my right eye can you pls help me that from where you've got surgery actually I've had 1st surgery but it failed so now I'll have to look for revisional one pls that would be great help if you could tell something
I see a lot about fixing ptosis but I wish there was more acceptance! I hate feeling self conscious about it and I’m trying to accept myself the way I am. Maybe I can get the surgery one day but I want to feel better now! Struggle ugh
iam getting my eye fixed in probably 2 months. if you want i can let you know how it went. (next month i have my eye check at the eye doctor)
@@MrTahref I hope it goes well for you! Good luck! ❤️
@@Louale22 Thanks! btw this is mabey a interresting video ua-cam.com/video/aiEO-QS7Szg/v-deo.html
@@MrTahref hey how did it went?
@@sakarbaniya Mm i think it was decent. In my opinion i have seen beter results online. I have now a scar on the eye that was done. Scar is not that big but you can see it, i think they could have done a better job to place the scar higher so it would fall into the eyelid fold. And the color of the skin is a little darker now. I think cause they burned the skin to stop the bleeding. The first 3 days i was a little worried cause i couldnt close my eye. afer day 4/5 i could close my eye. Here are the results. imgur.com/a/QvY8nEE Ask me any question if you want.
My left eyelid got damaged shortly after lasik surgery in 2006. I had a lot of sty on that’s left eye too.
I had Ptosis surgery in 2010, but it didn’t help.
I use eyelash glue to form a crease.
Apologies for your past ailments.
I got bitten in the eye lid and it became swole and when it healed it won’t go back to my real eye lid 😭 it’s been years I thought it would heal but it’s still not and I’m worried now. I think it’s to late .
I have ptosis and people always make fun of me for it
Yeah, same.
I feel ya, it is very frustrating constantly being told I look tired or high
@@willrobinson9546 omg! they say that to me all the time! or they say i look lazy or if i smoke weed.
Same always make fun of me 😭😭
same
I got ptosis when I was 9 but thankfully no one noticed
Yesterday I was crying and rubbing my eyes a lot and now today when I woke up, i suddenly saw one of my eyelids drooping. Should I wait if it will go away, or go to a doctor?
I have ptosis in my left eye and I am not able to blink with it and idk if it can still be repaired and it makes me feel so ugly ugh
hey, you should schedule an appointment with optomologist & then be referred to an ocuplastic specialist. I’ve been there. you can always get a second opinion. be strong!
I have it on my left eye and it makes me so self conscious. One side of my face looks awake while the other looks sleepy. Since I’ve noticed it I immediately see it in photos and I hate them. I’m considering wearing an eyepatch and calling it a day until I can get surgery.
I got punched in my eye 3 years ago and I thought it would recover. Will surgery make my eye 100% symmetrical to my other?
Excellent video..thanks
I have a Ptosis to my right side of the eye and i am 31 years old its ok to undergo a surgery to bring back the natural sight?
As a child, I thought about gluing my eye that had ptosis to even both but I’m glad I didn’t go through with it. I’d have completely damaged the eye.
I just had my Ptosis repair surgery, was dome OPD since insurance denied In-patient. Ptosis was affecting my daily life on top of been told that I was looking Tired....
Hi, Did you have to wear a patch or something after surgery? Just wondering, I work with the public.
@smtz1966 Hello, NO, I didn't wear pach after surgery. Just darker glasses and no makeup. My surgeon prescribed an ointment as an antibiotic. He advised me to place it twice a day.
nice just found out i have this
are you ok did u have surgery?
I just want to know if it's hereditary . No one in my family has this condition so I guess I am the first one . I am male and have moderate ptosis in my left eye right from birth .
Yo, don't the optic nerves cross? Meaning a head injury on your right side would impact your left eye?
I have ptosis too, my left eye is monolid but has a crease on it, but it doesn’t fold. My right eye has a hooded double eyelid. I wanted to get this surgery too but the thing is I have a big, quite protruding eyes, so I’m worried that if they will make an incision, I would look like I’m giving a stare to everyone.
I have ptosis in my right eye but it’s mild barely noticeable if you don’t focus on my eyes for more than 3 sec
I think I have a mild ptosis on my left eye. It only appears whenever I'm tired and sleepy. My left eyelid will have 2 creases and so the opening of my left eye will be smaller. Can anyone relate to me?
Me too
Ya i am having the same problem.. 😓 is there anything different now in yours?
@@poonanthacker1065 Still the same. Appears when I lack sleep or feeling sleepy. Other than that, it doesn't appear and my eyes are as big as it can be. Minor problem but if you have an important day tomorrow, better pack yourself with sleep. 😆
U people hv any other health conditions? Like Myasthenia gravis or anything related? @kylie @Poonan
Same with me
What was the cost of the surgery....
Ho much it cost please?
I had surgery about 11 years ago, it worked for around 3/4 years.. got confidence back and self asteem, however it’s now returned, I’ve had the you look drunk or tired comments and it hurts, I don’t know where to turn next. This condition is horrible.
Damn ts low key made me sad 😔
Same thing with me, however i think coming to terms with it and not caring is probably the best thing you can do
Left eye ptosis
I use clear eyes eye drops on my left droopy eye for relief. Still debating on surgery.
I 18 and I have it in both eyes. I was born like that and thinking of having a surgery. Any thoughts?
Yeah you can get it done, although i wouldnt suggest it if both your eyelids are at the same level..
I might have this. I'm very self conscious about it and I can't do proper make up like other girls my age..
What specialist would perform this plastic surgery?
Ocuplastic surgeon private hospital if skilked to do it.... Not all are and it cost 5000 pound in England.
Is continually eye blinking is symptom of Ptosis 🤔 please reply
This is ruining my life. I can't get a job or have a social life cause of this. Damn.
same. I have had mine for almost a decade and I did an operation and it gotten very swollen. I was bulled constantly everywhere and I feel like I'm never gonna get my life back and it has honestly made my mental health very bad.
I’m 38 I was born like this I have it in both eyes they both are very low people say I look sleepy or high I never knew the name of this disease until now ... I have 4 kids 2 girls and two boys thank god their eyes are perfect I wouldn’t won’t my kids to have to go thru this I been strong my whole life but this is something I fight with inside daily and to top it off now I have a sty on left eye that won’t go away must make a eye appointment to get sty removed.... does anyone know about the sty removal process is simple and does it work....
I was concerned that is this disorder genetic or not....i really don't want kids to face the problems like i do !
I wouldn't wish this condition even on my worst enemy, Why did it have to be the eyes💔🤦🏽♂️
I just came back from school one day and saw that my right eye was more closed than other is it ptosis? Should i be worried?
Was it fine after
I have this
I have left eye tosis by birth....i have some doubts:
1. Why did I get it when noone in my family has it ?
2. Is it hereditary ?
3. Is the surgery necessary i mean i don't care what people say about the looks but will it cause any problems in my vision when i get old ???
Hello, fellow ptosis guy here. I have a quite severe ptosis on the left. Age 19
1. In my case, my mom's mom had them. But I dont know if it is always that way..? Dont be afraid to ask your parents about their parents if they also had them. It is not a embarrassing thing to ask, TRUST me
2. Again similar question
3. In my case yes, my right vision is much worse than the "ptosis left". I personally think it is because i use my functioning right eye much more often so it got "worn" lol. Not 100% but i think its an acceptable reason. The reason why i didnt get surgery as a young child was because my parents thought that the idea of having do full body anesthisea as a child was dangerous for me. So as im fully grown physically now, im going to see the eye doctor in few days and maybe get surgery..?
Hey, again, just ask your parents and they will give answers for you, if not you can go to eye doctor with your parents.. I know it can be frustrating not feeling normal, but try to have more confidence on yourself.
Most importantly, stay HAPPY:)
@@gjdippaavvhyk hey you got the surgery?
How did it go ? What are the results?
Is there significant improvement?
I was born with it on my left eye. I hate it so much
WolfyIsA Deer same, but my parents raised me without making a problem about it, so i don't really mind having ptotis
Same please help me please please help me
I have a little bit ptosis, but it is not that my eye covered
My left eye ptosis has become progressively worse. 2 surgeries later, it is still bad. Causes neck problems. Went from 20 20 to needing glasses in my left eye. Constant pain in and around my left eye. Doctors can't figure out what is causing it. Any suggestions?
I also had surgery and I have pain in my eye, did you find a solution?
@@canpolatss0 I am currently on steroids. They are thinking Myasthenia Gravis. This is all new, so seeing how it goes. Wishing you the best of luck!!
I have also
My right eye has a droopy lid and I'm really self conscious from it I'm not even starting my yt channel cuz of it but when I ask my mum she says they're equal but they aren't 🤷🏻♀️
Me too 😭
Omg same...I asked my mom and she said she thought they were fine, but it’s really obvious that they’re not. They look the worst in an inverted or flipped camera it makes the sides of my face look rlly uneven :/

Same 🥺
Samee :(((
I have ptosis in my both eyes
It's also affect my posture.
This is really bad disorder actually. Because its right on your face.
I was born with it on my left eye. In childhood I didn't realize severity of the desease. But in tennagerhood it was just horrible - it gave me great depression.
But now I used to it.
I am also facing the problem
@@ars_h_ad_ , yeah, it seems quite common. I read somewhere that 1 in 10,000 babies born with this.
But the more troubling thing for me is not for myself. I fear that this can be genetic and my children can get such disease. (I'm single right now)
Please anyone tell me ... acquired ptosis surgery is permanent or not ???
Help
People think I’m high all the time
Help me sr
Love every other disease has a parting gift at the end of the possible causes: *or cancer*
Upseeq eye drops would really help with this issue
They didn't work for me, but neither did 2 surgeries. Doctors still don't know what's causing mine.
I have ptosis in both eyes
So this eye problem is caused by a dysfunction of the levantor apeneurosis (LA) muscle of the eyelid, causing a degeneration in normal tautness in the eyelid, causing the subsequent drooping.
Orbital surgery is usually done to treat the problem - where this levantor is shrinked in length during surgery, any redundant LA tissue is removed, and the eyelid is surtured closed until the eyelid heals from this surgery.
I also want to have eye surgery. My family members are not supporting me. They are saying that all that are God's gift. I say that when there is a cure for it, why can't it? I feel uncomfortable in making eye contact with people. Sir, I am from Mandla district in Madhya Pradesh, tell me any such ophthalmo doctor in my area whom I can meet alone. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wear an eye patch like me... Surgeons won't do it...
hello. please don’t do your surgery in india. almost 90 percent of such surgeries fail. and you require revision surgeries which worsens your eyelid. i’m speaking with experience
My eyes ptosis n also diplopoa because i have autoimun myasthenia gravis .
I hate my right eyelid!😭
Me too but mine left
CHHIREE SHERPA samee
