Ptosis - Women 50's Before & After Case 33

This patient in her 50s presented with concerns for tired-looking eyes and wanting to look like herself again. 

On evaluation, Dr. Phan noted eyelid margins resting near the center of the pupils, a finding of lid ptosis. This occurred as the muscles responsible for lifting the eyelids up thinned, stretched and weakened over time. To address this lid ptosis, Dr. Phan recommended bilateral internal ptosis repair. Through incisions made on the back side of the eyelids, Muller muscles were shortened and tightened, allowing the muscles to lift the eyelids more effectively.

Patient, pictured here 3-months post bilateral internal ptosis repair, demonstrated natural restoration of her eye openings Patient looked more engaging, her brighter self, and without being overdone.
