ICD-10 Code H57.811 – Brow ptosis, right (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H57.811 – Brow ptosis, right
What it is
H57.811 identifies drooping of the right eyebrow or brow position. It describes a localized eyelid-adjacent finding, not a general facial weakness diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical notes may describe a visibly low right brow, asymmetry, or brow descent affecting the upper eyelid area.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents brow ptosis on the right side and the finding is clinically relevant. It may appear in evaluations for eyelid heaviness, visual obstruction, or preoperative assessment. Code the documented laterality exactly as recorded.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unspecified, left-sided, or bilateral brow ptosis. If the chart instead describes another eyelid or facial disorder, check documentation before assigning H57.811.
Coding tip
Verify laterality in the operative note, exam, or assessment before coding, because brow ptosis codes are side-specific.
