6. Important Considerations After the Procedure
Surgical treatment of ptosis directly involves the levator palpebrae superioris muscle. Therefore, proper postoperative care is essential for rapid wound healing:
- Carefully cleanse the surgical incision with saline solution; after patting dry, apply the prescribed topical medication.
- Avoid letting water directly contact the incision site.
- Limit exposure to smoke and dust, and wear protective eyewear when going outdoors.
- Scars will fade and disappear once the eyes have fully healed.
7. Frequently Asked Questions
Causes of Ptosis?
Several factors can cause ptosis, including the following:
Congenital ptosis: Accounting for approximately 55-75% of cases. Congenital ptosis is recognized as an eyelid deformity affecting appearance, often causing patients to feel self-conscious.
Neurogenic ptosis due to nerve damage causing muscle paralysis: This condition is linked to orbital apex syndrome, superior orbital fissure syndrome, or cavernous sinus syndrome, which prevents the eyelid muscles from maintaining their lifting function, resulting in eyelid drooping.
Myogenic ptosis / Myasthenia gravis: Typically presenting prominently between ages 40 and 60. Ptosis in elderly individuals impairs daily activities and visual field.
Traumatic ptosis: In certain cases, ptosis stems from unintended accidents causing trauma directly affecting the eyelid structures.
Other causes: Ptosis may also arise from dermatochalasis (excess eyelid skin), trachoma, ocular burns, or local tumors and cysts…
Common Symptoms of Ptosis?
- Sagging eyelid skin that partially obstructs the field of vision
- Asymmetry between the eyes where one eyelid partially covers the pupil
- Aging eyelid drooping occurring without accompanying eyelid fat bags in elderly individuals
How Long Does Ptosis Treatment Take?
Ptosis surgery typically takes between 45 to 60 minutes. Depending on the specific condition of the eyelid crease, the surgeon will recommend an individualized surgical plan.
