What is Upper Eyelid Ptosis?

Upper eyelid ptosis refers to the condition where the upper eyelid droops or hangs lower than it should. This can be caused by various factors, including genetics, age, injury, or certain medical conditions. It can affect one or both eyelids and may vary in severity.

  • Eye Exercises: Our team can guide you through specific eye exercises to strengthen the muscles and improve eyelid function.

2. Surgical Procedures

For more severe cases of upper eyelid ptosis, surgical procedures may be recommended:

  • Levator Resection: This procedure involves tightening the levator muscle responsible for lifting the eyelid, thereby improving its position and appearance.
  • Fat Repositioning: In some cases, fat repositioning techniques may be utilized to address both upper eyelid ptosis and hollowing in the eye area.
  • Blepharoplasty: Combining ptosis repair with blepharoplasty can provide comprehensive rejuvenation of the upper eyelid area.
