Eyelid Ptosis Correction at Maldon Eye Clinic
Eyelid ptosis, commonly referred to as drooping eyelids, is a condition in which the upper eyelid descends, partially or fully covering the eye. This can result in a fatigued or aged appearance, and in more severe cases, it can impair vision by blocking the visual field. Ptosis may occur as a result of ageing, muscle weakness, or nerve damage, and it can affect one or both eyes.

At Maldon Eye Clinic, we specialise in the correction of eyelid ptosis through highly effective, personalised treatments. Our experienced oculoplastic surgeon perform ptosis repair surgery to restore the eyelid to its natural position, improving both the cosmetic appearance and functional vision of the patient.
The surgical procedure for ptosis correction typically involves tightening or reattaching the levator muscle that lifts the eyelid. Depending on the severity of the ptosis, the procedure may be performed through a small incision along the eyelid crease, ensuring minimal scarring. In some cases, a more customised approach may be needed, such as using a muscle sling to support the eyelid.
The surgery is generally carried out under local anaesthesia, allowing patients to remain awake and comfortable throughout the procedure. Postoperative swelling and bruising are common but usually resolve within two weeks.
At Maldon Eye Clinic, we are committed to delivering excellent results, tailored to the individual needs of each patient. If you are considering eyelid ptosis correction, our team will guide you through every step of the process, from initial consultation to aftercare, ensuring you achieve a refreshed and more youthful appearance, along with improved vision.
