  with expert surgeons to perform the surgery.
• What Causes Ptosis 
• Some of the most common causes of weak ligaments
  and droopy eyelids are

• How it is treated
•  
• Treatment mostly depends on how strong your
  eyelids muscles are and how well they function.
  It also depends on the reason for the surgery.
  Doctors may recommend a Ptosis surgery because it
  has affected the patients vision.
• If the patient has it but it doesnt affect any
  functionality of the eyes, and they dont mind
  the appearance, some doctors will not recommend
  it at all. All in all, this is how the procedure
  may look
• The doctor first opens the skin on your upper
  eyelid
• He then finds the muscle that lifts the eyelid
  through this opening
• He tightens this muscle by placing stitches on it
  
• Once done, he stitches up the incision
• Alternatively, the procedure can be done from
  underneath the eyelids. In this case, no skin
  incision will be required. he just flips the
  eyelid and tightens the muscle underneath

• Usually, the procedure is done under anesthesia
  with sedation. This means the patient is awake
  and can see what is happening but doesnt feel
  anything.
• After the surgery, the surgeon will give the
  patient a set of instructions on how to take care
  of the eye (s) until it heals. It is also
  important to set appointments with the doctors so
  they can examine the healing progress and avoid
  any complications.
• It may take a long time to completely heal. Most
  patients take at least 10 days of downtime after
  the treatment and up to 3 months before they
  fully heal and can resume their day-to-day
  activities upon the doctors approval.
• Pros and Cons of Ptosis Surgery
• Some benefits of the surgery include
• Look less tired and more awake
• Give you a young, youthful look
• Enhance your facial appearance
• An outpatient procedure, so you dont have to
  worry about being admitted
• Many success stories and reviews prove the
  surgery is worth it

• Some downsides of getting Ptosis surgery are
• May need up to 10 days off after your surgery and
  may take a long time to completely heal (up to 90
  days)
• Eyes are a sensitive part of the body and more so
  of the face. Because it involves opening the
  skin, you are prone to get infections during the
  procedure. It may also lead to discomfort such as
  itchiness, dry or teary eyes, and inflammation.
• Though Ptosis surgery cost in mumbai may not be
  crazy high, most times it cannot be covered by
  insurance because it is regarded as cosmetic
  surgery. Unless it is authorized by doctors for
  medical purposes such as if it interferes with
  vision.
