**Ptosis** (pronounced *toe-sis*) is the medical term for a droopy upper eyelid. It occurs when the **levator muscle**, which is responsible for lifting the eyelid, stretches, weakens, or detaches. This droop can significantly obstruct vision and cause chronic fatigue due to constantly straining to lift the eyebrows.
**Ptosis Surgery** is performed by our expert **Oculoplastic Surgeon** to tighten or reattach the levator muscle, raising the eyelid margin to its proper, symmetrical position. The procedure offers both vital **functional** benefits (clearing the visual axis) and significant **cosmetic** improvement.
Removes the eyelid obstruction from the pupil, immediately restoring the full field of vision.
Creates a natural, lifted, and symmetrical appearance, reducing the tired or aged look.
Stops the chronic forehead contraction and head tilting needed to compensate for the droop.
Utilizes techniques like **Levator Aponeurosis Repair** or **Frontalis Sling** based on the type and severity of ptosis.
