Learn more about the procedure performed to correct droopy eyelids
You know those famous droopy eyes that give the face a tired expression? They are the result of a clinical condition technically called eyelid ptosis, or drooping of the upper eyelids. In these cases, surgical intervention is one of the only possible paths to correction.
While in the past only very severe cases were corrected by plastic surgeons, today we also treat milder ptosis surgically. And although the procedure has become common, it still raises many questions among patients. Among them, one question comes up frequently: can ptosis return some time after surgery?
The good news is that, in most cases, the correction is permanent. In other words, once corrected, the eyelids stay well positioned and the chances of the condition returning are minimal. Of course, as with any successful result, several factors must be taken into account, such as the expertise of the surgeon chosen for the procedure and the patients’ attention to postoperative care.
In short, there is no need to worry about ptosis coming back. After all, a properly corrected ptosis not only improves the opening of the eyes but also tends to rejuvenate the expression.
In some cases, in fact, when there is a difference in height between the two eyes, ptosis correction can also enhance the look of the eyes, since they can be made more alike and symmetrical.
