What is Recovery Like after Ptosis Surgery When Performed by Oculoplastic Surgeon Dr. Amiya Prasad

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. Recovery after ptosis surgery is dependent on the following factors: (1) the type of surgery performed; (2) whether other surgeries are performed alongside it; (3) the method of anesthesia used; (4) the surgical team involved; (5) the surgical technique used; and (6) the post-operative recovery process. In his practice, Dr. Prasad chooses to optimize the method of anesthesia, the surgical team, the surgical technique and the post-operative recovery process in order to achieve the best results. With regard to the method of anesthesia, Dr. Prasad prefers to use local anesthesia with intravenous sedation. He has developed his own sedation technique that allows patients to wake up fresh, without a long period of downtime. General anesthesia is rarely used because it means longer downtime, increased risk of nausea and vomiting, and prolonged bruising and swelling. Dr. Prasad optimizes his surgical team by making sure each member of his staff is experienced and highly capable in any given scenario that one may encounter during a procedure. In addition to that, he performs surgeries in his own operating facilities, which are accredited by the Joint Commission, the same organization that accredits and oversees hospitals. Over the years, Dr. Prasad has observed that working in his own facilities has contributed to a better recovery experience for his patients. When it comes to the surgical techniques used, Dr. Prasad believes that technical expertise, experience and an artistic eye are all important when it comes to his line of work. Having significant experience and exposure to numerous cases allows a surgeon to make more precise decisions and enables him to respond and adapt well to different scenarios. Dr. Prasad also favors optimizing the recovery process as much as possible. Hospitals don't have enough support staff like doctors and nurses in the important hours right after surgery. In his own practice, Dr. Prasad and his medical support staff attend to patients needs upon completion of their surgery to help them recover faster. With regard to home recovery, it is normal to experience swelling and bruising in 24-48 hours after the surgery. However, most people can return to work after 5-7 days. A majority of the healing process occurs within the first few months, but the healing can continue for up to one year after surgery.
