Droopy Eyelid Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic
Droopy eyelids, or ptosis, occur when the upper eyelid sags lower than normal, sometimes covering the pupil and impairing vision. In addition to functional concerns, ptosis can create a tired, aged, or asymmetrical appearance. Droopy eyelid surgery, also known as ptosis correction surgery, is a precise procedure designed to elevate the eyelid to its natural position, enhancing both appearance and function.
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, our board-certified surgeons combine technical expertise with an artistic approach to restore a youthful, refreshed look while ensuring the eyelids function properly.
Why Choose Droopy Eyelid Surgery?
Patients choose ptosis correction surgery for a variety of reasons, including:
- Improving impaired vision caused by drooping eyelids
- Restoring a more youthful and rested appearance
- Achieving better eyelid symmetry
- Enhancing confidence and facial balance
- Correcting congenital, age-related, or injury-related ptosis
Our team is dedicated to delivering subtle, natural-looking results that respect the harmony of your facial features.
Customized Approach to Your Droopy Eyelid Surgery
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we tailor each ptosis correction procedure to the severity of the condition and the patient’s facial anatomy.
Types of Ptosis Correction Techniques:
- Levator Muscle Advancement: The most common approach, where the muscle responsible for lifting the eyelid is tightened.
- Müller’s Muscle Resection: Suitable for mild ptosis; involves shortening the muscle inside the eyelid.
- Frontalis Suspension: Used in severe cases; connects the eyelid to the forehead muscle to aid lifting.
Your surgeon will recommend the most suitable technique during your consultation based on a thorough assessment.

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation to ensure we understand your concerns and aesthetic goals.

The Procedure: What to Expect
Droopy eyelid surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia and completed as an outpatient procedure.
Surgical Steps:
- Incision Placement: Incisions are typically made along the natural eyelid crease to minimize visible scarring.
- Muscle Adjustment: The levator or Müller’s muscle is tightened to elevate the eyelid to the desired height.
- Closure: The incisions are closed with fine sutures, and a light dressing may be applied.
The procedure generally takes 1 to 2 hours, and patients can return home the same day.
Recovery and Aftercare
After surgery, some swelling, bruising, and temporary sensitivity may occur but will subside over several days to weeks.
You will be advised to:
- Apply cold compresses as recommended to reduce swelling
- Avoid strenuous activity and bending over for 1–2 weeks
- Sleep with your head elevated for the first few nights
- Follow specific aftercare instructions provided by our team
- Attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing
Most patients return to normal activities within 7 to 10 days, with full results becoming visible as healing progresses.
Natural and Lasting Results
Ptosis correction surgery restores both eyelid function and appearance, offering a brighter, more alert, and youthful look. Our surgeons focus on achieving results that are natural, symmetrical, and tailored to your facial proportions.
The effects of droopy eyelid surgery are typically long-lasting, providing both aesthetic and functional benefits for many years.
