Ptosis Repair Programs

Functional Eyelid Correction for a More Open and Refreshed Appearance

Ptosis repair is a surgical procedure designed to correct drooping of the upper eyelid and restore a more natural eyelid position. Ptosis can cause the upper eyelid to sit lower than normal, which may create a tired appearance and, in some cases, affect vision.

This condition may be caused by aging, genetics, trauma, or certain neurological conditions. During ptosis repair, a small incision is typically made in the natural crease of the upper eyelid so the surgeon can access and tighten the levator muscle, which is responsible for lifting the eyelid. In some cases, the surgeon may also adjust the muscle position or remove excess tissue to achieve the desired result.
