In this video, Dr. John Martin, a specialist in ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery, will demonstrate how to perform a ptosis repair. Ptosis is when there is a drooping of the upper lid. While there are many causes, it is frequently due to a stretched levator muscle, which is the muscle responsible for keeping the lid open. When this muscle becomes weakened or is stretched, the lid will droop. Dr. Martin will show a simplified technique to tighten the muscle and elevate the eyelid.
