Ptosis Correction

Description

Ptosis correction, or blepharoptosis surgery, is a surgical procedure designed to elevate the upper eyelid to its normal position, thereby improving vision and appearance. The procedure typically begins with a thorough preoperative assessment, including evaluating the degree of ptosis and the function of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle. Under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, the surgeon makes an incision either in the natural crease of the eyelid (external approach) or on the inner surface of the eyelid (internal approach, or conjunctival approach). Through this incision, the surgeon tightens and repositions the levator muscle or aponeurosis, which is responsible for lifting the eyelid. In some cases, a sling procedure might be used, involving the attachment of the eyelid to the brow muscles to facilitate elevation, particularly if the levator function is poor. Postoperatively, patients are monitored for any immediate complications, such as bleeding or infection. Recovery typically entails keeping the head elevated, applying cold compresses to reduce swelling, and using prescribed antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medications. Patients may experience mild to moderate discomfort, bruising, and swelling, which generally subside within a week or two. During follow-up visits, the surgeon will assess the healing process and the success of the correction, ensuring that the eyelid height and function are optimal. Avoidance of strenuous activities, careful hygiene, and adherence to postoperative care instructions are crucial for achieving a successful outcome.
