Ptosis Repair and Eyelid Retraction

Restore Symmetry and Balance to Your Eyes

Ptosis repair and eyelid retraction surgery address conditions where the upper eyelids are either too low (ptosis) or too high (retraction). These procedures aim to improve eyelid position and symmetry, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality. While perfect symmetry isn’t always achievable, the goal is significant improvement for a natural, balanced appearance.
