The results are long-lasting and natural, improving both appearance and eyesight.

Ptosis Repair FAQ
Ptosis repair provides long-lasting results, though natural ageing may gradually affect the eyelids over time.
The incision is made within the eyelid crease, making any scarring barely noticeable.
Results are immediate, but full healing and final results take 4–6 weeks.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia with sedation, so discomfort is minimal.
A minor adjustment procedure can be done if needed, but our surgeons ensure precise symmetry from the start.
You’ll need someone to drive you home, and it’s best to avoid driving for 3–5 days until swelling subsides.
