What is Eyelid Ptosis Surgery?
Ptosis is a drooping of the upper eyelid caused by weakness or stretching of the levator muscle that lifts it. Ptosis surgery tightens or reattaches this muscle so the eyelid sits at a natural height, improving both appearance and, in significant cases, vision.
Who is a Good Candidate for Ptosis Correction in Surat?
- A drooping upper eyelid on one or both sides
- A tired or asymmetric appearance of the eyes
- Reduced field of vision from a low eyelid
- Ptosis present from birth or developed with age or injury
- Good general health and realistic expectations
Causes of Ptosis
- Age-related stretching of the eyelid muscle
- Congenital (present from birth)
- Injury or previous eye surgery
- Certain nerve or muscle conditions
The Procedure
Ptosis surgery is usually performed under local anaesthesia (general for young children). Through an incision hidden in the natural eyelid crease, the levator muscle is tightened or repaired to raise the lid to a natural position. The procedure typically takes about an hour.
Recovery After Ptosis Surgery
Mild swelling and bruising settle over one to two weeks. Most people return to routine activities within a week, and the eyelid height refines as healing completes. Dr. Shah provides detailed aftercare guidance.
