What the procedure involves.
Eyelid ptosis correction surgery addresses drooping upper eyelids that can impair vision and create a tired appearance by tightening or reattaching the levator muscle. Chinese oculoplastic surgeons are highly experienced in this procedure due to the high volume of eyelid surgeries performed across the country. Both functional and aesthetic outcomes are carefully balanced to achieve natural-looking results.
Step by step.
Ptosis Evaluation
Precise measurement of eyelid height, levator muscle function, and margin-reflex distance
Local Anesthesia
Local anesthetic with sedation is administered to the eyelid area
Levator Advancement
The levator muscle is accessed through a lid crease incision and shortened or reattached to elevate the eyelid
Symmetry Check & Closure
Patient is asked to open eyes intraoperatively to verify symmetry before final closure
- Restores full visual field by lifting droopy eyelids
- Creates a more alert and youthful appearance
- Can be combined with double eyelid surgery
- High success rate with experienced surgeons
- Under-correction requiring revision surgery
- Over-correction causing difficulty closing eyes
- Temporary dry eyes post-surgery
- Asymmetry between the two eyelids
