Eyelid ptosis /drooping

Ptosis is drooping of upper eyelid, making the involved eye appear smaller. Ptosis can be associated with hooded eyelid in which case the ptosis surgery can be combined with blepharoplasty. Surgery can be performed through incision on the eyelid crease or from incision inside the eyelid. Ptosis surgery is a challenging surgery as it involves achieving symmetry not only of the eyelid height but also the eyelid contour, eyelid fold and the lid show. Hence an expert surgeon whose practice concentrates on eyelids is preferable.
