Ptosis correction treats drooping upper eyelids to improve eye symmetry and function. It’s a safe and effective procedure for patients of all ages.
Ptosis correction is a specialised eyelid surgery that tightens or repositions the muscle responsible for lifting the upper eyelid (the levator). This procedure is designed to improve vision, restore eyelid symmetry, and reduce the appearance of droopiness caused by muscle dysfunction. Ptosis surgery can be performed on one or both eyes, and is suitable for both children and adults.
Ptosis correction may be right for you if these frustrations feel familiar:
You constantly raise your eyebrows to lift your eyelids and see clearly
You avoid eye makeup because it’s hidden under drooping lids
You feel like your eyelids are uneven or make your eyes look lopsided
You often feel tension or strain around your forehead by the end of the day
Your eyes appear smaller or less open in photos compared to how they feel in person
