Ptosis Correction


Eyelid opening surgery to restore natural eye expression

Surgical Perspective

Ptosis affects not only eyelid function but also facial expression. When the eyelid position is lowered, the eyes may appear tired or less alert even when the patient feels well rested.

Correction of eyelid position can restore a more natural and refreshed appearance while preserving individual eye characteristics.

What this surgery addresses

Ptosis correction may benefit patients who have:

Heavy or tired looking eyes

  • Eyelid drooping that partially covers the pupil

  • Asymmetry of eyelid height

  • Forehead strain from compensatory brow elevation

  • Subclinical ptosis affecting eye openness

Surgical Approach

Surgical planning is individualized based on eyelid anatomy, levator muscle function, and brow position.

Depending on clinical findings, techniques may include levator muscle advancement or Müller muscle modification. The objective is precise correction that restores natural eye opening while avoiding an overcorrected or artificial appearance.
