Ptosis surgery
General information. Follow the individual instructions from your treating team. These pages do not prescribe treatment or replace an examination.
What you may notice
Swelling and bruising can temporarily affect the eyelid position. The early appearance is not the final result.
Care at home
Follow the prescribed lubrication and wound-care plan. Contact your treating team promptly if the eye does not close properly or feels increasingly dry or sore.
Follow-up & recovery
Confirm your follow-up. Do not massage or pull the eyelid unless your surgeon has specifically shown you how and asked you to do so.
Before returning to activities
Ask your team about washing, bathing, swimming, exercise, driving, work, contact lenses, makeup and any eye protection. Confirm your follow-up and who to contact if no appointment arrives. Feeling better does not replace the planned review.
Seek urgent help
Sudden or worsening vision, severe or increasing pain, increasing redness or swelling, or new flashes or a curtain over vision need urgent assessment. Do not wait for your next appointment or a WhatsApp reply.
