What is Ptosis?
Ptosis is a term used to describe drooping skin in different parts of the body. Eyelid ptosis can cause both aesthetic and functional issues due to sagging skin in the eyelid and around the eye. Individuals with this issue may have a tired or aged look and wish to improve the appearance of their skin. Some patients may have vision issues because of ptosis and need eyelid surgery for functional correction.

Droopy Eyelid Treatment Options
Combining expert surgical techniques with an artistic eye, Dr. Athré offers solutions designed to elevate both function and aesthetics. From minimally invasive eyelid lifts to more involved corrective surgery, there is an effective option that will be best to meet your individual needs and goals.
Brow Lift
When a drooping upper eyelid is caused in part by a low or sagging brow, a brow lift can provide seamless, natural-looking elevation. This procedure uses one of a few methods to surgically lift the brows to a more youthful position, creating more space between the lash line and brow, and brightening up the entire upper face.
Blepharoplasty
If excess eyelid skin is contributing to a heavy, tired appearance or if it’s impairing your vision, blepharoplasty may be the ideal solution. This surgical procedure removes excess skin and fat from the upper or lower eyelids, enhancing eye shape, improving symmetry, and revealing a youthful, more rested look.

FAQs
Treating droopy eyelids is a completely customizable process and the best way to determine your ideal treatment plan is to work with a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon.
While many patients start with eye serums, lasers, or other topical methods, in some cases, the extent of droopy eyelid skin is beyond minimally invasive methods, and surgery is the optimal choice.
There are risks with any surgical procedure including minor side effects like swelling or bruising as well as more serious complications like infection or nerve damage.
