What is the Difference Between an Eyelid Lift, Blepharoplasty, and Ptosis Surgery?

Ptosis, or drooping eyelid is caused by a defective or stretched muscle responsible for lifting the eyelid called the levator muscle. Ptosis surgery is not performed by most plastic surgeons. Correcting this thin muscle in the delicate eye area is more frequently performed by specialists with combined training in ophthalmology and facial cosmetic surgery called oculoplastic or oculofacial surgeons. Dr. Amiya Prasad is a leading Oculoplastic Surgeon with offices in Manhattan and Garden City, Long Island. Eyelid surgery is one of the most precise and delicate types of cosmetic surgery. Eyelid skin is the thinnest skin in the body at less than half a millimeter in thickness. Dr. Amiya Prasad is leading Eyelid Surgery Specialist dedicated to helping his patients look better and maintain optimal eye health . Unfortunately many general plastic surgeons do not have extensive training and experience with eye anatomy and function which can lead to too much removal of eyelid skin creating an unnatural "surprised" look. Further, many people suffer from compromised eye health caused by the inability to close their eyes properly. An eyelid lift generally refers to a surgical procedure done to address excess skin and fat around the eyelids. Blepharoplasty refers to a surgical procedure done on the upper and lower eyelids to address excess skin, fat, and other anatomical issues. A patient can choose to undergo either an upper or lower eyelid blepharoplasty, or both. Ptosis surgery refers to a surgical procedure specifically done to correct the position of the eyelid margin in relation to the pupil. Such procedures include levator muscle advancement, levator resection, and frontalis sling. For more information, visit our website: Ptosis Surgery - http://prasadcosmeticsurgery.com/pras...
