Upper Eyelid Surgery & Unilateral Congenital Ptosis - Case # 10200
This 59-year-old woman had two separate eyelid problems: excess skin on both upper lids and a congenital ptosis on the right side, meaning that eyelid had always sat lower than the left. In a single one-hour procedure under local anaesthesia with sedation, I performed a bilateral upper blepharoplasty and corrected the ptosis of the right eyelid so that both eyes sit at the same height. One week of recovery. The after photos were taken at 30 days: the lids are still slightly pink and the scar, visible with the eyes closed, sits hidden in the eyelid crease. More about this surgery on the blepharoplasty page.
- After photos taken: 30 days
- Techniques/Scars: No noticeable scar on the upper lid as incisions were made on the eyelid crease.
- Surgery performed under local anesthesia and sedation and took 1 hour.
- Recovery period: 1 week
Before & After photos were disclosed under patient´s authorization for demonstration purposes. Surgery results depend on the personal characteristics before surgery.
