What is ptosis and why you need ptosis correction surgery?

Ptosis is defined as sagging of the upper lid, partially covering the eye pupil. When you see the eyes of ptosis people, you will feel like they are tired and sleepy. It also reduces the vision and gives a look of exhausted condition. The ptosis correction surgery is intended to provide the youthful and vibrant appearance as well to improve the vision. Patients with ptosis also have excess skin around the eyes and fat in the upper eye lid. This can be corrected at the time of surgery. Normally, this surgery is performed by an expert ophthalmologist who specializes in blepharoplasty. The surgeon who performs this operation should be very experienced in carrying out this therapy.

Causes:

Normally, ptosis is caused by the tissue stretching, which is supported by the upper eye lid. The ptosis usually appears with aging. Added to this, constant wear of contact lens may weaken the tissue of upper lid resulting in ptosis. This can be corrected by tightening the levator muscle. 

Other reason to perform this surgery includes enriching the vision experience. Most of the patients feel scared to undergo this surgery because of scarring. However, most of them are not aware about the fact that the scars are covered by natural fold of the eyes. The lower scar will be on the lower lash line. Hence, patients need not worry about the scars. 

People who wish to consider this surgery for cosmetic purpose need to consider both shades of the surgery. But people with ptosis have no other option other than considering ptosis.
