Can Ptosis surgery correct drooping upper eyelids and sagging lower eyelids in 1 procedure?

Doctor's Answer

You will definitely need to be examined in detail, however in general, ptosis and lower lid surgery can certainly be performed together.

For the condition of ptosis - certain tests may need to be performed in order to ascertain that this is a functional problem before Medisave may be used to help pay for this procedure.

Similarly for the lower lid - if there is a functional problem due to the sagging, for example causing in-turning of the lashes, or out-turning of the punctum, then Medisave may be used to help pay for this procedure.

If both the upper and lower lids require functional correction, then they may both be performed at the same sitting. However if one of them is deemed to be a cosmetic procedure, then you should not do them at the same sitting.

Detailed evaluation by your Oculoplastic surgeon will help you in your decision making process. Best of luck with your surgeries!
