What I treat
Ptosis Repair Surgery ( Muller's Muscle Surgery )
Muller's muscle surgery is a procedure aimed at improving the level of the upper eyelid by shortening and tightening Muller's muscle and the associated conjunctival tissue. This procedure is performed from the inner surface of the eyelid, without the need for an external incision in the eyelid skin.
Who it's for
Muller's muscle surgery is performed in some cases of upper eyelid ptosis, especially when the function of the levator muscle is good, and the amount of ptosis is suitable for this type of surgery.
What to expect
During the procedure, local anesthesia is used to ensure patient comfort. The Müller's muscle and associated conjunctival tissue are accessed from the inner surface of the eyelid, so the procedure does not require an external incision in the eyelid skin. The Müller's muscle and associated conjunctiva are then shortened and tightened in a controlled manner, with the goal of lifting the eyelid and improving the level of the eye opening and achieving the appropriate position of the eyelid. After the procedure, the patient may experience some discomfort or a sensation of a foreign body in the eye, and some redness or mild swelling may occur on the inner aspect of the eyelid, with a possibility of temporary dryness or irritation of the eye. Some bruising or swelling may appear around the eyelid, and these symptoms gradually improve during the recovery period. The eyelid level and eye symmetry may also require some time to stabilize, so the patient may notice a temporary difference in the shape or level of the eyelid during the initial period, before the result starts to stabilize gradually.
