Ptosis
(Eyelid Drooping)
Correction of ptosis [toe-sis], or a drooping eyelid, entails surgery under local anaesthetic to tighten the eye’s levator muscle.
Incision and post-operative stitching are made in the eyelid crease, so no scarring will be visible once the eyelid is healed – any scarring will be hidden in the eyelid crease.
Eyelid surgery
After surgery, you will be given an antibiotic ointment to treat the area for the following week; and be advised to apply a cold compress to the area every few hours to help lessen post-operative swelling and bruising.
Recovery takes approximately 7 days. A follow-up appointment to review your results and recovery takes place from 1 to 2 weeks after surgery.
