Ptosis Repair for Droopy Eyelid
Ptosis repair is a surgical procedure designed to correct drooping of the upper eyelid caused by weakened or stretched levator muscles. It restores proper eyelid position, improves vision, and enhances the overall appearance of the eyes with precision and care.
Comprehensive Pre-Surgical Evaluation
A thorough assessment of levator muscle function, eyelid height, and symmetry is conducted to determine the most effective surgical approach tailored to your specific condition.
- Levator Advancement: Tightens the levator muscle to lift the eyelid.
- Müller's Muscle Surgery: Minimally invasive option for mild ptosis.
- Frontalis Sling: Used for severe ptosis with poor levator function.
- Symmetry Focus: Ensures both eyelids are balanced and natural-looking.

Ptosis repair is suitable for individuals experiencing drooping eyelids due to age, congenital conditions, nerve damage, or trauma that affects daily vision or appearance.
Swelling and bruising are expected for 1-2 weeks. Cold compresses and keeping the head elevated aid recovery. Most patients resume light activities within 1-2 weeks.
Initial improvements are visible within 2-3 weeks. Final results become apparent after 3-6 months once swelling fully resolves and eyelid position stabilizes.
