What is Revision Ptosis Surgery (Secondary Eyelid Correction)?

Revision ptosis surgery is performed when the results of a previous eyelid or ptosis operation are unsatisfactory, leading to issues such as asymmetry, eyelid drooping recurrence, unnatural fold height, or eyelid function problems. By correcting levator muscle adjustment, scar tissue, and fold design, this procedure restores natural eyelid function and aesthetic balance. It is one of the more complex revision surgeries due to the functional and aesthetic factors involved.

Ideal for: Patients who previously had ptosis or eyelid surgery but are experiencing unsatisfactory outcomes such as recurrent drooping, asymmetry, unnatural fold height, or impaired eyelid function. Also suitable for those whose eyelid fold design is unbalanced or too high/low.
