One side of the face feels a bit like night and the other like day. I know itīs not a stroke as itīs fluctuating and will go away with a cooler breeze/change to a cooler room.

Does ptosis affect a larger area than just the eye itself?

Thanks

I occasionally get a little tingling and decreased sensation on the one side of my face with ptosis but it is rare. But all the muscles on the one side of my face seem a little droopy. I only have dimples on one side of my face!
