Ptosis surgery

Eyelid ptosis correction surgery (droopy eyelids) involves raising the height of the upper eyelid, in one or both eyes, to its normal position.
Correction of ptosis is recommended in all cases, as this is not an aesthetic problem. In children, if the eyelid covers the pupil, surgery should be performed as soon as possible to avoid visual development problems; otherwise the surgery may be postponed to be performed before the child begins school age. In adults ptosis can affect the visual field and generates cervical problems over time, therefore the correction can be done as soon as the problem is detected.
