What Is Ptosis?
Ptosis is a condition where the upper eyelid droops lower than normal due to weakened eyelid muscles or poor muscle control. This drooping can partially cover the pupil, making the eyes appear smaller, tired, or less alert. In some cases, the condition affects one eye more than the other, leading to uneven eye appearance and facial imbalance. Ptosis may occur from birth or develop later in life due to aging or muscle weakening.
The main benefits include a brighter and more awake eye appearance, improved facial symmetry, and better visual clarity when the eyelid interferes with sight. In addition, correcting droopy eyelids can reduce forehead strain caused by constant eyebrow lifting and help soften fine lines that form from repeated muscle compensation.
How It Works
Ptosis begins with consultation by the doctor at our affiliated hospital, where eyelid condition, muscle strength, and eye symmetry are carefully assessed. Once the treatment plan is confirmed, preparation for the procedure is carried out, including marking the eyelid area to guide precise adjustment.
During the procedure, the eyelid muscle is adjusted or tightened so the upper eyelid can lift properly, allowing more of the eye to be visible. This improvement helps create a more open, alert, and symmetrical eye appearance while also reducing strain caused by compensating forehead movement.
After the procedure, short observation is required before returning home on the same day. Downtime is relatively minimal, with most daily activities possible again within 3 to 5 days. Mild swelling and bruising may occur during the first week, with noticeable improvement as healing progresses. Swelling generally reduces significantly within 1 week and continues to improve until fully settled within about 1 month.
