Ptosis Surgery
Specialized treatment for drooping eyelids.
What is Ptosis Surgery?
Ptosis surgery repairs drooping of the upper eyelid caused by weakened levator muscles. Left untreated, ptosis can obstruct the superior visual field or cause fatigue. Oculoplastic surgeons tighten the levator muscle to achieve optimal lid elevation and aesthetic symmetry.
