Ptosis Surgery at MEPS

PTOSIS

The condition of drooping upper eyelids is known as Ptosis in medical science. It can occur due to swollen lid, damage in the nerve controlling your eyelid muscles, muscle strength issues, underlying medical issues, stroke, neurological disorders, family history, or severe fatigue. Ptosis is also a congenital disease (present at birth).  

Our expert oculoplastic surgeons at MEPS, Dr. Prerana Tahiliani & Dr. Adit Gupta, perform ptosis correction & ptosis repair surgery using a laser-assisted technique.

When Do You Need Ptosis Surgery?

You may need to undergo Ptosis Surgery if you experience partly obstructed vision, completely blocked vision, or you have to lift your eyelids with your fingers or through forehead muscles for a clear sight. The surgery, also referred to as droopy eyelid surgery, helps elevate your upper eyelid for vision restoration. M.E.P.S provides the best Ptosis Surgery in Mumbai.

Procedure

Ptosis correction surgery at MEPS is done using local anesthesia. Sedation is also used, if needed. The surgical procedure helps tighten the levator muscle, lifting the affected eyelid back to its normal, desired position. In some severe cases, a silicone sling is used for strengthening the eyelid muscle. 

Post the surgery, ointment is applied to the eyes, and ice packs are used for comfort. 

Recently, the MEPS team has introduced Scarless Ptosis Surgery for correcting mild to moderate droopy eyelids. In this surgery, we tighten the loose muscle from the back of the eyelid to avert a skin cut. 

What to expect?

After the surgery, patients tend to experience some bruising and swelling. Elevating the head and using cold compresses help relieve discomfort. 

It takes approximately a week after the surgery to remove sutures/stitches. It is advised to keep the wound clean post a ptosis repair surgery.

Time for recovery

The swelling post droopy eyelid surgery takes around a week to heal. Though complete healing takes about a month, patients are able to resume work within a week after the surgery. 

Our team of expert cosmetic eyelid surgeons, Dr. Adit Gupta and Dr. Prerana Tahiliani, see patients post weeks 1 and 6 of the surgery to monitor their progress. 

Please note that one must avoid yoga, swimming, or any type of heavy exercise for at least two weeks after the ptosis surgery to allow proper healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ptosis, or a drooping upper eyelid, can be treated with ptosis surgery when appropriate. The type of treatment depends on the cause and severity of the drooping eyelid.

Ptosis surgery can have risks such as swelling, bruising, discomfort or changes in eyelid position. Your oculoplastic specialist will assess your eyelid and explain the potential risks before surgery.

Eyelid lift or ptosis surgery is generally well tolerated, with discomfort during recovery rather than severe pain. Your surgeon can advise you about pain relief and post-operative care.

The outcome of ptosis repair varies depending on the cause, severity and eyelid muscle function. Your oculoplastic surgeon can discuss the expected result after examining your eyelid.

Ptosis can have different causes, including weakening or dysfunction of the muscle that lifts the upper eyelid. An eye or oculoplastic specialist can determine the underlying cause.

Ptosis can recur in some patients after surgery, depending on its underlying cause and other factors. Regular follow-up with an oculoplastic specialist is important if the eyelid begins to droop again.

After ptosis surgery, avoid strenuous activities until your surgeon allows you to resume them. Follow all prescribed eye care and post-operative instructions to support proper healing.

Recovery after ptosis surgery varies between patients and depends on the surgical technique and individual healing. Your oculoplastic surgeon will provide specific guidance on when you can return to normal activities.

The cost of ptosis surgery in Mumbai depends on the severity and cause of drooping eyelids and the surgical technique required. An oculoplastic specialist can evaluate the eyelid and provide an individual treatment plan and estimate.

There is no single best ptosis surgery for everyone. The procedure is selected based on factors such as levator muscle function, severity of drooping and the underlying cause.

Ptosis surgery is performed with appropriate anaesthesia to minimise discomfort during the procedure. Mild pain, swelling, bruising or tightness may occur during recovery.

From the detailed consultation with Dr Adit Gupta till the final outcome of my upper lid surgery to correct my condition of ptosis was a very satisfying and happy experience.

I had consulted other surgeons but felt most at ease and convinced of the expertise and latest techniques used by both him and Dr Prerna . My eyelids feel lighter and less tired with a remarkable improvement in my vision . Thank you Dr and team .
