Eye Ptosis Correction - Case # 10600
A young woman with a droopy right eyelid: the eye looked half closed and smaller than the left, known as eyelid ptosis. I operated on that eyelid to bring both to the same level, under local anaesthesia and sedation, and she had recovered within a week. The scar sits hidden in the eyelid crease, as the closed-eyes photo shows. It is one of the things I correct within blepharoplasty.
- Techniques: unilateral ptosis correction to put both eyes at the same level.
- Surgery performed under local anaesthesia and deep sedation.
- 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.
