Ptosis surgery is a procedure used to correct drooping eyelids caused by ptosis. This condition can impair vision and cause cosmetic concerns. During the surgery, the surgeon adjusts or repositions the levator muscle, which raises the upper eyelid. A small incision is made in the natural crease of the eyelid, and sutures are used to secure the muscle in place. The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.
