Understanding Ptosis Surgery

Ptosis surgery involves tightening the levator muscle or its attachment to the eyelid to elevate the drooping lid. The specific technique used depends on the severity of the ptosis and the strength of the eyelid muscle.

The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia with sedation and takes about 1-2 hours. In most cases, the incision is hidden in the natural eyelid crease, minimising visible scarring.
