How Ptosis Repair is performed
The surgery can be performed through a skin incision or conjunctival approach, depending on the specialist's assessment of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle function. A common procedure involves exposing the levator aponeurosis under local anesthesia or intravenous sedation, shortening or advancing it, and repeatedly adjusting the eyelid margin height and curvature with adjustable sutures, followed by hemostasis and layered closure. Skin and fat removal or symmetrical treatment may be combined if necessary. Early postoperative monitoring focuses on corneal exposure, dryness, and hematoma, with the goal of restoring eyelid opening function and unobstructed visual axis. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
