Droopy eyelids result from conditions affecting the structure of the upper eyelid. It can cause an individual to appear tired and lead to functional issues such as obstruction of the visual field.

At Polaris, we offer non-surgical methods for mild to moderate cases, as well as surgical procedures for severe cases of ptosis.

How Is The Ptosis Correction Surgery Performed?

Ptosis correction surgery is performed under local anaesthesia in the cosy environment of our clinic by our board certified plastic surgeon Dr Ooi and assisted by his team of qualified nurses.

Depending on the severity of the ptosis, a small incision is made on the droopy upper eyelid skin where the plastic surgeon will either advance or resect the levator muscle to lift the upper eyelid.

The result is reconstructed and functional eyelids to make your eyes look brighter and younger. For severe ptosis cases, your field of vision will be improved and less effort is required to keep your eyes open.

How Is The Recovery After The Surgery Like?

Ptosis correction surgery is usually done as a day surgery and patients are usually allowed to go home on the same day.

Patients may experience some minor bruising and swelling, which should subside within a few days and fully fade away after 1 to 2 weeks.

Depending on the severity of the ptosis before the surgery, recovery might take longer.

Nevertheless, most patients can return to their daily activities after a week or so, though it is advisable to avoid major events for at least 2 weeks post surgery.

Our doctors will advise accordingly during the initial assessment of your ptosis condition.
