What is ptosis correction?

Lift the lid, open the eye.

Ptosis correction treats a drooping upper eyelid by tightening or advancing the levator muscle that lifts it. Unlike a simple cosmetic fold, ptosis can partially cover the pupil and make the eyes look sleepy or asymmetric, sometimes affecting vision. It's often combined with double eyelid surgery so the fold and lift are designed together. Correct dosing of the lift is delicate — too little or too much shows — so a surgeon assesses muscle function carefully. Risks are explained fully beforehand.
