Blepharoplasty Combined with Ptosis Repair
There are two 'main' surgeries that might possibly be performed on the upper eyelid.
- Ptosis is the medical term for drooping of the upper eyelid; it might possibly affect one or both eyes.
- Pseudoptosis is different from ptosis and refers to the situation when excess skin might possibly encroach on the eyelid; it might possibly affect one or both eyelids and is repaired by blepharoplastY
Thus the patient has two eyelid conditions that should be evaluated.
When you pull up the skin (photograph on the right), once can see the patient has ptosis.
