Ptosis and blepharoplasty

Subtle droop of the lids can be seen very frequently. Have you ever wondered how this can take away the freshness in appearance. The person does look a bit dull and sleepy.

Correction can open up the eyes a lot and make the patient look much younger. Ptosis surgery is easy and quite predictable with good results. My patients have always been very pleased with the results and this has been most satisfying. I combine this with a brow lift or a blepharoplasty as needed in many cases to give the best results.

It is sad when I see many patients who have been silently suffering with ptosis for decades... because their eye doctor told them nothing can be done for this and live with it. The last patient I operated towards the end of last week was 80 years old. He looks normal with excellent symmetry and a good appearance. Moreover the droop or ptosis does no obscure his vision any more.
