Eyelid Ptosis Correction Surgery in High Speed

http://www.oculoplastic.info (310) 777-8880

Ptosis, pronounced toe-sis, is the medical term for drooping of the upper eyelids. The droopy eyelid can be mild to severe. People who have ptosis may complain that people tell them they look "tired or lazy." Because of a constant effort to raise the eyelids it is not uncommon to also complain of fatigue and tension headaches.

The most common reason for ptosis is acquired ptosis , which develops as we age. This is due to disinsertion of the tendon that holds the eyelid up in a normal anatomic position. Another cause is congenital ptosis , which happens when a child is born with droopy eyelids. This is rather an urgent medical condition for the child and surgery may be needed to prevent permanent loss of vision in the affected eye. Other rare causes of ptosis include myogenic ptosis from conditions such as Myasthenia gravis, neurogenic ptosis , due to third nerve palsy and mechanical ptosis from tumors or trauma.

I have mild ptosis on my left eye.. I know with time it will not gett better (i am 33) with time I guess skin will sag more as I am getting older.. I never had any surgery's done.. realy scared of scards as its my face.. and my eye area.. How about Scars? how bad is scaring? I know they say its in eye crease.. but still how "simple" is the surgery and how bad is scaring? also will I need another surgery in a few years when skin sag due to age?

@pashaforv

The surgery is either performed from the inside the eyelid which has no scaring or from the outside where the incision is made on the eyelid crease so it heals very well without any scarring
