Whether you’re experiencing functional vision obstruction or cosmetic concerns, our customized surgical and non-surgical solutions can help you look and feel refreshed.
What Is a Droopy Eyelid (Ptosis)?
Ptosis refers to the drooping of the upper eyelid, often caused by aging, muscle weakness, or congenital conditions. In some cases, the droop may partially block your vision and lead to eye fatigue or strain. Ptosis repair restores proper eyelid position, symmetry, and function.
Expert Droopy Eyelid and Ptosis Repair by Dr. Sofia Rubbani
At Tucson Cosmetics, Dr. Rubbani performs ptosis repair under local or twilight anesthesia, minimizing risk and ensuring patient comfort. The procedure involves tightening or repositioning the muscle responsible for lifting the upper eyelid. Both eyes may be treated for balance and symmetry.
Benefits:
-
Improved peripheral vision
-
More alert, youthful appearance
-
Reduction in eye strain or fatigue
-
Long-lasting and natural-looking results
Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty)
In cases where excess skin or fat contributes to a droopy eyelid appearance, an upper blepharoplasty may be recommended. This procedure removes sagging tissue to open the eye area and enhance both form and function.
Dr. Rubbani’s approach avoids general anesthesia, offering a comfortable in-office experience with minimal downtime.
What to Expect After Surgery
-
Mild swelling and bruising are expected for the first few days
-
Cold compresses are used to reduce inflammation
-
Most patients return to light activities within a week
-
Visible improvement in eyelid height is typically immediate
Dr. Rubbani may also recommend Botox® or PRP therapy to support healing and improve cosmetic results.
