One topic that sparks some curiosity and also a lot of confusion is eyelid ptosis. Eyelid ptosis is defined as the drooping of the eyelids, and it has nothing to do with blepharoplasty. What happens is a change in the opening of the eye, and usually one eye looks a little more closed than the other.
To understand this a little better, I chose a photo of a very beautiful model, the one who is considered the most beautiful woman in the world.
This is our model, who is precisely the most beautiful woman in the world. I’m going to zoom in here on the eye area to explain what the normal appearance is: perfection.
When we compare the opening of one eye with the other, we see that it is practically the same. And the best way to measure it is to consider the presence of this reflex in the center of the pupil and calculate the distance from this reflex to the eyelid margin.
So here we see that the distance from this reflex to the eyelid margin is the same as the distance in the other eye, from the reflex to the margin. So here we have an equal and perfect opening of both eyes; we don’t have the problem of eyelid ptosis.
