We have recently seen several patients with ptosis of the upper eyelid and today we are discussing ptosis with you. There is one abnormality in facial congenital anomalies that we need to make you aware of; ptosis! In some cases, shortly after birth, parents notice that their child’s eyes do not open the same size and one side of the eyelid does not open fully. The doctor diagnoses this as ptosis of the upper eyelid. So how should it be treated? What is ptosis? Ptosis is a medical condition in which the upper eyelid is partially or completely covered due to a decrease in the strength of the levator muscle or its absence. Ptosis can have a significant impact on the patient’s appearance, as the drooping upper eyelid gives people around you a feeling of lack of energy, which can seriously affect your temperament and have a negative impact on your studies, life and interpersonal relationships. In addition, congenital ptosis can lead to ophthalmological disorders such as amblyopia, which can affect vision because it covers the eyeball for a long time. Therefore, ptosis needs to be treated promptly once it is diagnosed. Do I have ptosis? How can I tell? In addition to the drooping upper eyelid, which is one of the most important signs for the diagnosis of ptosis, there are several other characteristics of patients with ptosis. The second way to determine this is by examining the patient’s eyes, having the patient close them first, and then using both thumbs to press down on the patient’s bilateral eyebrows, and then having them open their eyes, if they are weak at this point, they can be diagnosed with ptosis. Do I need ptosis correction with open eyelids? A large percentage of patients with ptosis have mild ptosis. This group of patients often feel that their eyes are not large and want to open their eyes through double eyelid surgery, not knowing that they have mild ptosis. If you perform double eyelid surgery, you will have shallow eyelid folds that will affect the appearance of your eyes, and you will not be able to open your eyes as much as you had hoped before surgery. Therefore, it is necessary to perform ptosis correction in conjunction with double eyelid surgery to obtain better results.
