Ptosis surgery is not only functional, it has definite cosmetic implications. Even if one does ptosis surgery in a child, there is a high likelihood that the parents will point out any asymmetry if present. Hence it is of great importance that one plans the cosmetic goal when one plans to lift the lid. The results of surgery are always good in all cases, but getting the angle, the contour and equal lid lift is of great importance.
Most of the times, the patient is explained clearly about the goals of surgery, so they end up cooperating well for the surgery and the results are great.
Even adjustable ptosis surgery is possible. I have performed it for a patient where the surgery had not worked 4 times and he came to me for the 5th time to get everything corrected.
Ptosis is definitely correctable and gives excellent results if the preoperative planning is perfect.
