Ptosis Surgery - New York City
What is Ptosis?
Ptosis is a condition characterized by drooping of the upper eyelid, which can affect one or both eyes and may range from mild to severe. It can result from aging, muscle weakness, nerve damage, trauma, or congenital factors present from birth.
Beyond cosmetic concerns, ptosis can interfere with vision by partially blocking the visual field, contribute to eye strain, and create an asymmetrical or fatigued appearance. Early evaluation can help determine the cause and the most effective treatment to restore both function and appearance.

Why Consider Ptosis Correction?
You may be a candidate for ptosis surgery if you have noticeable drooping of one or both upper eyelids that affects your vision, causes eye strain, or alters the appearance of your eyes.
Candidates are typically in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of surgery. Dr. Rogers will evaluate the strength of your eyelid muscles, the degree of drooping, and any underlying causes to determine the most appropriate surgical approach.
Whether your ptosis is congenital, age-related, or due to another medical condition, surgery can often restore both eyelid function and a more alert, balanced appearance.
