BlepharoplastyBlepharoptosisBrow Lift

Ptosis (pronounced "toe-sis") refers to a drooping of the upper eyelid. The eyelid may droop only slightly or it may droop enough to partially or completely cover the pupil, restricting or obscuring the field of vision.

Ptosis may be inherited, can affect one or both eyelids and may be present at birth or occur later in life. Ptosis present at birth is called Congenital Ptosis (see also Childhood Ptosis) If the ptosis develops with age it is referred to as Acquired Ptosis.
