Congenital Eyelid Droop (Ptosis) – Surgical Treatment at the Top Ihilov Medical Center

Typically, surgery for congenital ptosis is performed in early childhood. During the procedure, the muscle that lifts the eyelid is sutured in such a way that it shortens. Access to the affected muscle is through an incision in the eyelid skin along the natural fold. The postoperative wound is closed with a cosmetic suture using super-thin suture material. Within a year or a year and a half, the scar is virtually invisible to the naked eye. In cases of significant muscle damage, it is sutured to the frontal muscle. Children require general anesthesia, while adults receive local anesthesia. The little patient stays in the department for one day, and complications are absent.

Acquired Upper Eyelid Droop (Ptosis) – Surgical Treatment at the Top Ihilov Medical Center

Surgical intervention for acquired ptosis differs in that the plastic surgery is performed only on the fascia of the muscle. It is incised and sutured in such a way that it reduces in size. The incision for access is also localized in the natural fold of the eyelid; if there is excess stretched skin, it is removed. The suture is cosmetic and becomes almost invisible after some time.

Surgical treatment of ptosis in adults can be performed using the latest technique, where the incision for access to the muscle fascia is made on the inner surface of the eyelid. After this operation, there is no scar left on the skin surface. Adult patients undergo the procedure on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. After 2 to 4 hours, the patient can leave the department. The effect of the plastic surgery lasts a lifetime.
