Hi I have watched this video again and again for months and I just had the courage now to comment on your post. I hope I get a respond from you. I wanna have an eyelid surgery because ever since I was young my family and I have noticed that my eyelids are not even. And as I grew older it got worse. My left eyelid is so droopy and my right eyelid doesn’t have a lid at all lol. I am from the Philippines so here treatments like this are rare and they can never really addressed the issue I have over my eyelids. As I grew older I started having insecurities because people would make fun of me wearing one eyelid tape on my right eye so that it looks even. At one point an ex of mine made fun of my eyes and said that I am ugly. My uncle on my dad side had the exact same eyes as me and he had an upper blepharoplasty surgery here and after just a couple of months it went back to the way it looks before he had the surgery and you can really see the stitches which made it look worse so I am so scared to have it done with a wrong doctor. Do you happen to have any clinics here in Asia? Or someone you can refer to me to really help me with my issue? I think what I have is ptosis and I wanna have this corrected. I hope you will respond on this and help me.

Hi ms mownique, Sorry to hear about your problem. There aren't many oculoplastic/oculofacial surgeons worldwide, and some ophthalmologists in other countries claim to perform oculoplastic surgery, so I can't make any recommendations due to varying expertise in ptosis correction surgery in other countries. I only practice medicine in the US. Having ptosis treated with blepharoplasty is a common mistake as cosmetic and plastic surgeons are not trained to operate on the muscle that lifts the eyelid. The only way I could really help you is if you had eyelid ptosis diagnosed and operated on in our offices in the US. I hope this helps you.

Hi Kendall mclean, Sorry to hear about your problem. You should follow up with your surgeon as any surgeon with experience with eyelid ptosis correction knows that additional enhancement is sometimes needed because of the precise nature of the surgery,, so they should have a revision policy in place. Also, your surgeon knows details of your condition, and your surgery that I'm unaware of. Your surgeon can also physically examine you properly, while I could only speculate a number of things if I don't examine the issue. You can refer to this video about why ptosis can recur after previous surgery, but this focuses on recurrence years after the previous surgery - kzread.info/dash/bejne/Znp8p7mqgK7Afbg.html

Hi Dr., We would normally go through cases like this at a conference, with more patient details, and a discussion among colleagues for the best approach. Without additional patient details, it would be speculative to give advice in a social media forum. I hope you understand.

Hi Dr. Prasad, I had ptosis surgery on one eyelid 18 days ago. It was an acquired ptosis. The operated eye lid is now 1 to 2 mm higher than the other one. My surgeon told me that I have to do massage to lower the eye lid and didn't want to do a correction surgery. Does massage really work? And how long will it take? Another ophthalmologist told me that there is still some swelling (which is not visible for me) which causes a second crease and tighten tissue, after swelling gets back eye lid should lower a little when tissue is relaxed. So massage is relaxing muscle and tissue. Would you agree? Thanks for your time.

Hi Ahmet Topaloglu, I generally don't advise massage after delicate eyelid surgery as you can undo the surgical work you just paid a lot for. I would have to examine your eyelids and know details of your surgery to see if immediate enhancement can be done, or if it's best to wait for more healing before considering a revision. I hope this helps you.

Hello Dr Prasad, I have mild/moderate acquired aponeurotic ptosis in my left eye and I am planning to get a ptosis surgery, however I have a concern. I have seen that post ptosis surgery, in case of unilateral correction there is difference in eye lid heights (the eyelid with surgery is little higher than the normal eye) while looking down. This makes the operated eye look odd with bigger white region visible than the other eye. My doctor has suggested to incorporate behavioral change to look down with my head lowered and not just to look down with my eyes. Could you share whether every patient will face this issue ? Are there techniques(surgical/exercises) with which we can avoid / lower this occurrence ? TIA

You still thir, i have the same problem, did you get your surgery done?

Hello! I’ve had ptosis surgery on both of my eyes, but one of them seems over-corrected. The surgeon have tried to re-do it for 4 times during 3 years and it still goes back to the original state where it was over-corrected. He recommended stretching of the eyelid to see if it helps. But I don’t feel it makes any difference. It can be that one of my eyes have a stronger levator muscle. But it seems too difficult for the surgeon to calculate this. If I’m gonna stretch the eyelid, how many days do I need to wait after the surgery and how do I do it? Like for how long and how often? Is there something else I can do to make it weaker or lengthen it? It’s just 1-2 mm difference. But the eye aches, becomes red (probably due to exposure of air). If I stretch it just 1-2 mm down so it’s symmetrical with the other eye, the pain goes away.

Do you have any recommendations of what i should do? Cheers

@AmiyaPrasadMD

Hi Diogooo Afonso, Sorry to hear about your problem. If your unsatisfactory results from eyelid ptosis correction were soon after the surgery, then any doctor experienced in this surgery does know that further enhancements may be needed since it's such a precise and delicate surgery, so it should have been addressed by your surgeon at the time. However, if it drooped further years later, then another surgery may be needed as the eyelid muscle can stretch or detach years after surgery. I hope this helps you.

My doctor recommended I get a sling in my eye cause I lost the complete ability to open my eye in a car accident, however he says the eye will never completely close from the sling despite me having good eye closing ability right now.

@AmiyaPrasadMD

Hi Langa's House, Not having complete eyelid closure is a normal risk with a frontalis sling as it is a very precise surgery, so even a little variation can lead to incomplete closure. I would have to assess your situation in a physical exam to determine the risk myself. Eyelid closure is not as much of an issue if your eyeball rolls up when you sleep called Bell's phenomena, but is more of an issue if it doesn't. If you can't come for a consultation with me, you may want another opinion from an oculoplastic/oculofacial surgeon who can examine your eyes. I hope this helps you.

Hi mac smith, It is unlikely that your sleeping position had an effect on your results (unless you are sleeping face down, and directly on the operated area).

If you do have concerns, you can follow up with your surgeon who can physically examine where you are it in the recovery process. I hope this helps you.

Hi Michel'le Feaster, It has only been a day since your son's surgery, and temporary swelling is expected. I don't know the details of your son's surgery, but it may take about a month before disorganized collagen fibers flatten, for more significant swelling to go down. Temporary swelling from eyelid surgery usually takes several months to dissipate, and full surgical healing takes about a year, but your son may experience faster healing since he is very young. I suggest you follow up with your surgeon, but temporary swelling this soon after surgery is definitely normal. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Any surgeon experienced in eyelid ptosis knows that enhancement is sometimes needed as it is such a precise surgery. People suffering from eyelid ptosis usually require more than one surgery in their lifetime, especially if they were born with it. While surgery can be successful, the levator muscle is engaged thousands of times a day, every day, so surgery is usually needed again years down the road. You can refer to this video about it - kzread.info/dash/bejne/Znp8p7mqgK7Afbg.html

Hi shaista malik, Your operating surgeon should set up a follow up appointment schedule with you. Eyelid ptosis surgery is highly precise, and overcorrection or undercorrection are measured in millimeters, so the follow up process is very important for accurate results, and to see if further enhancement may be needed after surgery. Even the best oculoplastic surgeons do further enhancement in some cases. I hope this helps you.

Hello! I did ptosis surgery 3,5 weeks ago. They made the insicion on the outside of the eyelid, so its visible (i hope you understand my english). The eyelid is slightly peaking upwards in the centre of the eye. The scarring is pretty thick and creating a second crease. Im worried its hypertrofic and wont go down. Because of the peaking of the eyelid i can barely see my eyelid at the centre of the eye when looking straight forward (hooded by the peaking). I have started eyelid massage and the peaking is not as sharp anymore. Its still one millimeter higher than my non-operated eyelid thought. Do you think my issue possibly can resolve by itself or will i need revision surgery? Thank you!

Hi S Love, Sorry to hear about your problem. I suggest you go back to your surgeon for a proper follow up as I have not seen your results, or know details about your surgery. A difference of 1-2mm between the height of both eyelids is not noticeable by others.

Hi Dr. Prasad, with 10 years old frontalis sling, will injecting botox in between eyebrows, forehead, or crown feet cause any issues to the repaired muscle. Frontalis on one eye only. Botox doc would not tell me and i guess he does not know. I’m afraid that it will mess up the muscle. Please advise? Thanks in advance.

@AmiyaPrasadMD

Hi Nadia, It depends on how Botox treatment is performed. In the Botox brow lift, for example, Botox is injected into muscles that push the forehead down, so the frontalis muscle works unopposed, and raises the eyebrows. However, forehead wrinkles develop sooner in people with a frontalis sling procedure because they use their forehead to open their eyelid(s), so if you have forehead wrinkles treated with Botox, it can affect the ability to raise your forehead, and open your eye with the frontalis sling. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi PACE.ROCKS, While ptosis may require more than one surgery in a lifetime, it usually lasts longer than two years, but may done sooner due injury, or the weakened condition of the levator muscle. The number of repeat ptosis surgery depends on if the levator muscle can still be resected or shortened, and if it still has some strength. If the levator muscle can no longer be shortened, or if it's too weak, a frontalis sling is performed, where the muscle that lift the brow called the frontalis is used to lift the eyelids. I will make a video about it soon, although I do have an older video of people born with ptosis requiring more than one surgery - kzread.info/dash/bejne/naWltNKDmL24erw.html

You can refer to this video about differentiating the two conditions, and the separate surgeries for each - kzread.info/dash/bejne/pZtltM2GipjPhrA.html

Hello Doctor, I had my surgery 3 weeks ago now but my eyelid is still droopy specially at night. As my eyelid still feels numb, can I expect that its swelling and it will go up ? I dont know if I am at the beginning or not of my recovery process or if I acquired the final result. My surgeon said that she expected that I would heal quicker...she gave me antistaminic as she said it could be an allergy and advised me to lift my eyelid with my thumb. I know that you cannot give precise answer but do you think I can hope for a little bit of eyelid raise ? Thank you so much...

Hi M, I suggest you follow up with your surgeon about under correction in your surgery. Ptosis correction surgery is very precise, so any surgeon experienced in it may need to do further enhancement due to the precise nature of the surgery. Your surgeon should have a revision policy in place for over, or under correction from your initial surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi ano war, I advise that you look for an oculoplastic or oculofacial surgeon in Bangladesh, and if you can't find one, you can consult with an ophthalmologist. I hope this helps you.

He recommended me to do some eye exercises. Are there an exercises u can recommend me or the treatment can be done for my problem.

Hi Lisa Lisa, Eye exercises are not used in oculoplastic surgery to improve eyelid ptosis, as such I have not recommended eye exercises for my ptosis patients. You can refer to this video about how eyelid ptosis is diagnosed, and treated - kzread.info/dash/bejne/aZuLtcyKk8iZdLQ.html

Hi 5%LowBattery, Sorry to hear about your problem, but eyelid ptosis surgery is something to be expected more than once since the levator muscle that lifts the eyelid, and is also the muscle treated in ptosis correction, is engaged thousands of times a day.

Does the surgery hurt?

Hi, No, you won't feel anything during surgery as you are under local anesthesia with LITE IV sedation, in a twilight state of consciousness. You can be awoken during surgery so we can have your operating bed recline up, so can see the results of your surgery under normal gravity, and you can open and close your eyelids to see results. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hello doc, I have congenital ptosis but in my case it’s severe. My eyelid top eyelid drops down so it’s halfway open and I can’t see much. I went to the specialist to see what I could do but In my case my eye needs to be kept and threaded open. Do you know any risks or solutions for my case?

Also I have another question. In cases that are more severe, will the eye always appear to be open when looking down or closing the eye? I’m afraid that after I get surgery I would have to suffer with my eye being stuck open.

Hi @kakakhloe2834, To answer your first question, I hope you understand that I would have to examine your eyelids like your doctor did to give you specific recommendations for your case, such as the function of your levator muscle that lifts the eyelid, which determines what approach is needed for your case. As for your second question, your eyelid should be able to close after surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi munni mona, It is possible to address both ptosis of the upper eyelids, as well as scleral show of the lower eyelid, but I need to perform a physical examination before making specific recommendations for you.

I have a real bad problem. I have had mild ptosis in my right eye since birth, but I had to undergo surgery of the neck last week and have now Horner´s syndrome on top of that (sympathetic nerve damage), so my right eye lid is now really droopy, blocking my vision a little bit and looking really unattractive. What type of surgery would be possible in a super rare "double ptosis" case like mine?

Hi @Punki80, Sorry to hear about your compounded problem. Horner's syndrome is often caused by another medical condition, it is advised to have that condition treated before having ptosis correction surgery.

@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thank you very muc for your reply. It´s not actually a condition, it appeared right after I woke up from my neck surgery because during that my sympathetic nerve got damaged. I got a schwannoma removed, a benign tumour of a nerve, and that nerve seems to have been the sympathetic nerve, hence the Horner´s syndrome. I have already seen doctors about it and they all agree it´s caused by damage during surgery, so the cause of the syndrome is clear. My question is, how can you treat a congenital ptosis combined with Horner´s syndrome? Do bith affect the same muscle or do I have two muscles now which are not functioning properly? Edit: I just noticed by pure accident that Tetryzoline eye drops I used because the eye felt a little irritated have a sympathomimetic ability. After using them, my eye goes to completely normal (save a the minimal congenital ptosis) for about 1-2 hours. Would using this agent instead of surgery be an option? Sorry for all the questions!

@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thank you very much, I understand. It´s enough for me to know that you think it is possible to treat this, this is a help already. Sadly I live in Germany, so I can´t come over for assessment. But I think we have at least one specialist eye surgeon whose good reputation seems to be known nationwide over here, and he is not even far away from me, so I will see him about this if the nerve doesn´t recover. As yet I have been told I have to wait until next year to be sure whether the nerve has been permanently damaged in my neck surgery or not. Only then can a surgery be taken into consideration.

Hi Atta ullah, Sorry to hear about your problem. You should follow up with the doctor who did your surgery, as any surgeon experienced with ptosis correction knows that further enhancement is sometimes needed. I can't assess your situation as I have not seen your results, nor do I know details of your surgery, but your surgeon does. I hope this helps you.

Hi Kajal Verma, It is explained in the video that temporary swelling depends on the type of surgery being done, but in general in our practice, most swelling dissipates in the first month, with residual swelling depending on how individual patients heal. I hope this clarifies things for you.
