The drooping of the upper eyelid is called "blepharoptosis" in medical literature. It can be congenital or appear in later years. The most common reason is that the muscle that lifts the upper eyelid (m. Levator palpebrae superior) is not well developed. Other causes are aging, eye surgeries, nerve palsy, and injuries.
The low eyelid prevents the upper part of the visual field from being seen and reduces the light entering the eye. It may cause congenital low eyelid, amblyopia and astigmatism.
Low eyelid is often treated surgically. Operations are performed with local anesthesia in adults and general anesthesia in children. In surgery, the muscle that lifts the eyelid is shortened and strengthened or a sling is performed on the forehead muscles.
The surgery is done without any stitch marks. Patients are discharged on the same day or the day after surgery.
Droopy eyelid, or ptosis, is a condition where the upper eyelid droops over the eye, partially or completely covering the pupil. This can affect vision and lead to a tired or asymmetrical appearance. Ptosis can be congenital (present at birth) or acquired due to aging, trauma, or neurological disorders.
Turkey has become a leading destination for the treatment of ptosis, offering high-quality medical care at affordable prices.
Ptosis can cause significant discomfort and affect vision if left untreated. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to prevent complications. Turkey offers an excellent combination of experienced specialists, advanced technology, and affordable prices, making it a preferred destination for patients worldwide.
