Advanced Ptosis
Correction Surgery
Correct drooping eyelids to restore your full field of vision and achieve a refreshed, symmetrical appearance with our expert oculoplastic surgeons.
What is Ptosis?
Ptosis is the drooping of the upper eyelid, which may occur in one or both eyes. This can be a congenital condition (from birth) or acquired later in life due to aging, injury, or muscle weakness. Beyond the cosmetic impact, severe ptosis can block your pupil, significantly reducing your peripheral and superior field of vision.
Restore Your Vision & Confidence
At Revive Nursing Home, we treat ptosis through specialized oculoplastic techniques that tighten the levator muscle—the muscle responsible for lifting the eyelid. Our goal is to create an natural lid height that clears the visual axis while maintaining facial harmony.
- ✓ Improved upper field of vision
- ✓ Reduction in "tired eye" appearance
- ✓ Customized surgical plans for adults and children
Our Specialized Procedures
Levator Resection
The most common approach for acquired ptosis. The levator muscle is tightened or reattached to improve its ability to lift the eyelid effectively.
Frontalis Suspension
Used for severe cases where the levator muscle is very weak. The eyelid is "slung" to the forehead muscles, allowing the brow to help lift the lid.
Müller Muscle Resection
A specialized internal procedure for mild ptosis that requires no external incisions, ensuring an invisible recovery.
What to Expect
Consultation
Detailed measurements of lid height and muscle strength are taken.
Surgery
Performed as a day-care procedure under local anesthesia or sedation.
Recovery
Stitches are typically removed within 7-10 days as swelling subsides.
