Ptosis Repair (Droopy Eyelid Surgery)

There are a number of causes of eyelid ptosis, which refers to a drooping of the upper eyelids. In certain cases, droopy eyelid surgery can be performed without any skin incisions, so patients are often able to return to full activities within a week or less. The procedure is designed to help improve a persons quality of sight, as well as create a more relaxed appearance. Dr. Shepler performs several hundred ptosis repair procedures each year, and it is often covered under medical insurance.
