What Is Ptosis?
Ptosis refers to droopy upper eyelids. While this condition is quite common as we age, it can actually happen to patients of a wide range of ages. Other factors can be at play, including genetic factors, disease, or even physical damage to the area. In some cases, it can even move beyond merely a cosmetic concern, interfering with vision and eye health. As our eyelids droop, they can make us look older, more tired, and even disinterested in life. But we all know how far that can be from the truth! So what can you do about it? Ptosis repair surgery could be your answer.
What Is Ptosis Repair Surgery?
As the name implies, ptosis repair surgery is a specialized procedure that aims to correct the cause of your droopy eyelids. It is similar to a general upper eyelid surgery, but it focuses on repairing structures specific to the position of the eyelid, such as muscles and key tissues. Even though the adjustments are small in size, they can have a lasting and stunning impact on your overall look. With a few small and expertly done adjustments, your eyelids can go from droopy and tired-looking to alert, vibrant, and beautiful with a single procedure.
How Does It Work?
The procedure is usually done under general anesthesia or local anesthetic with sedation to ensure you stay out of pain the entire time. Our surgeon, Dr. Shah Vira, then uses precise incisions to access the eyelid structures causing the droopiness. With the careful repositioning of muscles and other structures, she can make minor changes that have a powerful impact. After finishing the procedure, she closes the incisions, which are always hidden in the eyelid’s natural folds so they are essentially always out of sight and invisible.

What is the
Recovery Like?
After their ptosis surgery, patients can usually expect to take about 1-2 weeks off from work for downtime. This initial recovery period is vital to seeing good results, so resting and following your post-procedure care instructions will prove important. During this time, the pain and swelling should begin subsiding, and they can both be managed with medication. You should notice improvements almost right away after this, but it can take some more time for your full and final results to be fully apparent.
