Ptosis repair surgery corrects the drooping of the upper eyelid known as ptosis (pronounced “toe-sis,” short for blepharoptosis) by repositioning the underlying muscles to lift the upper eyelid.The droop may be barely noticeable or the eyelid can sag to such an extent that it covers your pupil, the black dot in your eye.
Ptosis surgery is most often performed by oculoplastic surgeons and ophthalmologists who specialize in eyelid surgery.
Ptosis repair may be done on its own, or at the same time as an upper eyelid blepharoplasty, which involves removing
excess skin and fat.
