After ptosis correction surgery, the sutures inside the tissue slip out and the patient may experience a recurrence of ptosis. Ptosis is a common ophthalmologic condition in which the upper eyelid cannot be raised to its normal position due to a lack of muscle strength in the levator muscle, and is usually treated surgically by shortening the levator muscle to strengthen it or by using the frontalis muscle in place of the levator muscle. If the sutures inside the tissue slip after surgery, the patient’s eyelids will droop again. In addition to the recurrence of the ptosis, the patient may even experience an inability to open the eyes, requiring another surgical procedure to repair the condition. After surgery, patients should be careful not to rub their eyes too hard to prevent the sutures from slipping out. It is recommended that ptosis patients follow the doctor’s instructions for postoperative care, have regular checkups, and see a doctor when discomfort occurs.
