Surgical lifting of a drooping upper eyelid to restore a normal field of vision and a refreshed, symmetrical appearance.
Ptosis is a drooping of the upper eyelid that can be present from birth or develop with age, nerve or muscle problems. A severely drooping lid can block vision and cause brow ache from constantly trying to lift it.
Ptosis correction tightens or repositions the muscle that lifts the eyelid, raising it to a natural level. The procedure improves both vision and facial symmetry and is tailored to each patient's anatomy.
Ptosis is a drooping of the upper eyelid that may be present from birth or develop with age, nerve or muscle problems. A severely drooping lid can block part of your vision and cause brow ache from constantly trying to lift it.
Surgery raises the drooping eyelid to a more natural level by tightening or repositioning the muscle that lifts it. This can improve both your field of vision and facial symmetry.
The procedure is usually done under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during it. Mild discomfort, swelling or bruising afterwards is common and generally settles with the care your surgeon advises.
Most swelling and bruising improve over one to two weeks, although the final eyelid position may take a little longer to settle. Your surgeon will give you specific aftercare instructions and arrange a follow-up visit.
