Procedures
Correcting a drooping upper eyelid that makes the eye look smaller, a procedure that demands precise symmetry.
What ptosis is
Eyelid ptosis is the drooping of the upper eyelid, which can make the affected eye appear smaller. Depending on its severity, it may also affect the upper field of vision and overall facial symmetry.
It can occur alongside a hooded eyelid, in which case the surgical approach may incorporate Blepharoplasty techniques. Combining Ptosis Correction with appropriate Eyelid Surgery can help address both concerns for a more balanced and natural-looking result.
The surgical approach
There are two possible surgical approaches: an incision along the natural eyelid crease, or surgery performed through an incision inside the eyelid.
The procedure involves more than simply lifting the eyelid. A successful Ptosis Correction must carefully balance several factors, including eyelid height, contour, the appearance of the eyelid fold, and the amount of eyelid that is exposed. This precision helps achieve a natural and balanced result.
Why specialist expertise matters Why specialist expertise matters
Because Ptosis Surgery requires precise symmetry and aesthetic refinement, it is a highly specialised procedure. Choosing an Oculoplastic Surgeon with a dedicated focus on the eyelids can provide the expertise needed to carefully address both functional and aesthetic considerations.
