Ptosis Surgery
Ptosis is a condition caused by the looseness of the muscle groups and tendons that control the opening and closing of the upper eyelid.
With aging, you may notice that your eyelids begin to wrinkle, excess skin forms, and if you are a woman, you may have difficulty applying makeup. Additionally, if your brows are drooping downwards, there will be an even faster accumulation of skin on your eyelids. This appearance is not only due to excess skin but also because the fat tissues around the eyes become more prominent with aging, leading to the formation of bags both under and above the eyes.
In classic eyelid aesthetics surgery, excess and wrinkled skin is removed, and the fat that causes a baggy appearance by exerting pressure from the inside is also removed to achieve a more youthful appearance.
However, ptosis treatment occurs at different stages compared to the aforementioned operation.
What Makes Ptosis Surgery Different from Other Eyelid Surgeries?
Ptosis cannot be corrected with classic eyelid aesthetic surgery. This is because the muscle groups responsible for the movement of the eyelid are located deep within the skin and fat tissues. The layer where these muscle groups are situated is not opened in classic eyelid aesthetic surgeries. Ptosis surgery is performed by Associate Professor Dr. Gürkan KAYABAŞOĞLU, who has significant experience in eyelid aesthetic surgery.
How is Ptosis Surgery Performed?
In ptosis surgery, the appropriate level of eyelid opening is determined, and the length of the muscle groups is shortened accordingly.
This surgery is sometimes performed with incisions made on the skin and sometimes with incisions made from underneath the eyelid.
When performed by an experienced surgeon, these surgeries, which last approximately 20-30 minutes, can be done under local anesthesia or, if preferred by the patient, under general anesthesia.
It is an outpatient procedure that does not require hospitalization.
