Ptosis Surgery

Functional surgical indications currently in common use include the following:

- Impaired visual acuity

- Decreased peripheral vision

- A compensatory chin-up backward head tilt

- Difficulty reading

- Dermatitis

- Eye strain and fatigue

- And difficulty wearing a prosthesis in an anophthalmic socket.

Ptosis surgery is an outpatient procedure, which means that you can go home on the same day as the surgery. Local anesthesia will be used to numb your eye and the area around it.

In some cases, the surgeon may only need to make a small adjustment to the lid’s lifting muscle. However, for more severe ptosis, the levator muscle may need to be strengthened and reattached to the eyelid.

As is the case with any type of surgery, there are possible risks and complications associated with ptosis repair. Your ophthalmologist will discuss these with you in detail prior to the surgery.

It is important to do your research when looking for a doctor to perform ptosis surgery. Scrutinize the physician's credentials and patient testimonials to determine if they are right for you. In addition, choose a clinic with knowledgeable and caring staff members in order to find the best doctor for ptosis surgery.
