What Surgery is Done for Droopy Eyelid

Understanding Surgical Options for Droopy Eyelids with Dr. Jon Mendelsohn

Introduction

Droopy eyelids, medically known as ptosis, can affect both your vision and appearance, making you look older or more tired. Surgical correction is often sought for functional and cosmetic reasons. Dr. Jon Mendelsohn, a renowned facial plastic surgeon at the Advanced Cosmetic Surgery and Laser Center, specializes in various surgical procedures to correct droopy eyelids, offering patients improved vision and a rejuvenated appearance.

Surgical Procedures for Droopy Eyelids

• Upper Blepharoplasty: This procedure is commonly performed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids, providing a more alert and youthful eye appearance. It’s ideal for patients whose vision is obscured by drooping eyelid skin.
• Ptosis Repair: Specifically targeting the muscle weakness that causes the eyelid to droop, ptosis repair surgery involves tightening the levator muscle (or its tendon) responsible for lifting the eyelid. This can be done alone or in conjunction with blepharoplasty for comprehensive rejuvenation.
• Brow Lift: Sometimes, a droopy appearance can be attributed to sagging eyebrows rather than the eyelids themselves. A brow lift raises the eyebrows to a more natural position, indirectly reducing the look of droopiness in the eyelids.
