About Ptosis

Ptosis surgery, performed by specialists in Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery, is a precise procedure to correct a drooping upper eyelid (blepharoptosis). This condition can be congenital or acquired due to aging, injury, or neurological issues, and often impairs vision or causes a tired appearance. The surgeon tightens the levator muscle, which lifts the eyelid, or may use a sling technique for severe cases. The goal is to restore a symmetrical, natural eyelid position, improving both the field of vision and facial aesthetics. This outpatient procedure is tailored to each patient's anatomy and the underlying cause of the ptosis, offering a functional and cosmetic solution.

Who is this surgery for?

Congenital ptosis present from birth, which may lead to amblyopia (lazy eye) in children.
Age-related (involutional) ptosis due to stretching or detachment of the levator muscle.
Ptosis resulting from trauma or injury to the eyelid or its muscles.
Neurological conditions affecting eyelid muscle function (e.g., myasthenia gravis, Horner syndrome, third nerve palsy).
Mechanical ptosis caused by excess eyelid skin or tumors.
Patient dissatisfaction with the asymmetrical or tired appearance of the eyes.

How to prepare

Comprehensive ophthalmologic and medical evaluation to determine the cause and type of ptosis.
Discontinuation of blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen) and supplements (e.g., fish oil, vitamin E) as advised by the surgeon.
Avoidance of smoking and alcohol for several weeks before surgery to promote healing.
Arranging for transportation to and from the surgical facility on the day of the procedure.
Fasting as instructed if sedation or general anesthesia is planned.

Risks & possible complications

Asymmetry or under/over-correction of the eyelid height.
Temporary or, rarely, permanent dry eyes or excessive tearing.
Infection, bleeding, or hematoma at the surgical site.
Scarring, though incisions are typically placed within the natural eyelid crease.

Rare complications include damage to eye muscles, double vision, or changes in corneal shape.
