Ptosis & Droopy Eyelid
Jump To
When it comes to ptosis and droopy lids, Idaho Eyelid and Facial Plastic Surgery has the training and expertise necessary to surgically repair patient’s eyes. Upper eyelids change with time. Many patients come to us with complaints of looking tired or disinterested. Others visit our office because their droopy eyelids are impacting their vision. There are two different conditions that can cause this: 1) laxity of upper eyelid skin; 2) weakening of the upper eyelid tendons.
1) Upper eyelid laxity. Upper eyelid laxity is sometimes congenital. At Idaho Eyelid and Facial Plastic Surgery, we have had a number of 25-year-old patients come in to have their eyelids corrected. More often, upper eyelid laxity is age-related. The best solution to laxity is surgical blepharoplasty. A blepharoplasty removes excess skin/fat to correct droopy or sagging upper lids. Many patients add on lower lid blepharoplasty to remove bags, bulges, and excess wrinkled skin underneath the eyes, which can make a drastic improvement to appearance.

I went to Dr. Boerner for a bilateral upper lid ptosis repair and am so glad I did! I am very very pleased with the result as I see much better, I can drive much better, and can finally see my baby blues again! I am thrilled and wish I had done it sooner. Dr Boerner and staff deserve five stars as they made me feel comfortable and really made a difference in my life.
