Ptosis is the drooping or falling of the upper eyelid.Without the condition of ptosis, a majority of all of the surgical and non-surgical eyelid procedures would not take place. Yes, crows feet and bags are conditions that still would be addressed, but ptosis is the main problem to be addressed. Upper eyelid ptosis can make people look like they have lazy eye or have just been through a fight.
Ptosis can rob people of their ability to see properly. Upper eyelids that droop too low can obstruct a person's view and require treatment or else visual conditions worsen. A person gets one set of eyes in life and a drooping eyelid or two should not get in the way of experiencing life. Drooping eyelids can be a safety issue too, not just for the individual with the ptosis, but also for others. Imagine driving on Atlanta's Downtown Connector with someone who has vision that is not 100% in a particular eye. That is a road that has fast speeds, fast action between multiple lanes and requires full 180 degree vision of what is happening in front of and beside the driver. That same Atlanta area driver with ptosis that did not get an upper blepharoplasty in Roswell or possibly a non-surgical eyelid procedure in Duluth.
Ptosis can rob a person of their appearance and make them look ridiculous. Unlike under-eye bags, ptosis in moderate or extreme forms does not give off the appearance of aging, but rather it can make someone look crazy or flawed in a way that is hard to ignore. Celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Forest Whitaker, Sugar Ray Leonard, Taylor Lautner and Britney Spears have had ptosis at some point in their lives or currently have it. Many celebrities and television personalities feel the pressure to improve their appearance and blepharoplasty is a common way to address an appearance flaw that is very noticeable.
