Drooping Eyelids

Drooping eyelids, also known as ptosis, is a common cosmetic issue that can be addressed through plastic surgery. This condition is characterized by an abnormal droop in the upper eyelid, which can cause the patient to appear tired and aged. In some cases, the drooping eyelids can even lead to vision problems. Fortunately, there are several plastic surgery procedures designed to correct ptosis and improve the overall appearance of the eyelids. These procedures involve removing excess skin, tightening the underlying muscles, and repositioning the eyelids. During the surgery, the surgeon may also use sutures, a laser, or other tools to achieve the desired results.

The most common type of eyelid surgery is blepharoplasty, which can be performed on the upper or lower eyelids. This procedure involves making small incisions in the eyelid and removing any excess skin or fat. The surgeon may also reposition the muscles and fat to create a smoother eyelid contour. Blepharoplasty can also be performed in conjunction with other procedures, such as brow lifts and face lifts, to achieve the desired results.

Other surgical options for treating ptosis include the use of eye lifts and ptosis crutches. Eye lifts involve making small incisions in the eyelid and repositioning the muscles and fat to create a smoother eyelid contour. Ptosis crutches involve inserting a small metal rod or wire into the eyelids to support them and prevent them from drooping.
