The cosmetic surgeon must be familiar with the evaluation and management of the ptotic eyelid. A small amount of unrecognized preoperative eyelid ptosis can seem obtrusive if it is unmasked after blepharoplasty. As such, ptosis repair is an important adjunctive procedure in cosmetic eyelid surgery. This article describes the basics behind the two most common procedures to correct eyelid ptosis. Cosmetic eyelid surgeons should familiarize themselves with these procedures or work in conjunction with an ophthalmic plastic surgeon who can assist in addressing this common eyelid malposition.
