Ptosis is a condition where the upper eyelid droops lower than normal due to a stretched or weakened eyelid‑lifting tendon. In many patients, this can make the eyes look tired or uneven — and in more advanced cases, it can interfere with daily activities such as reading or driving.
Understanding Ptosis Repair
In this video, Dr. Ebroon explains what causes ptosis, how it affects vision, and how modern surgical techniques restore a natural eyelid position.
Ptosis repair focuses on tightening and reattaching the tendon that lifts the eyelid. This restores a natural eyelid height and improves both function and appearance.
Why Does Ptosis Occur?
Ptosis can develop for several reasons:
✨Age‑related stretching of the eyelid tendon ✨Prior eye surgery ✨Contact lens use Injury ✨Congenital ptosis (present since childhood)
This patient came to Dr. Ebroon seeking a refreshed, natural look. With a precise upper blepharoplasty and subtle temporal brow lift, her eyes now appear brighter and more open — while keeping her unique expression beautifully intact.
Symptoms of Ptosis
✨Drooping upper eyelid ✨Reduced upper or side vision ✨Eye fatigue or forehead strain from lifting the brows ✨Uneven eyelid height ✨Difficulty reading or driving
Recovery
Most patients experience mild swelling or bruising for a few days. Vision typically improves quickly once the eyelid is lifted. Dr. Ebroon will guide you through a safe, comfortable recovery and provide personalized instructions for optimal healing.
