Does grade 3 ptosis make for a more difficult lift and augmentation?

December 4, 2015
Asked By:SWOLEsisters in Stuart, FL

I went for a consultation for a mommy makeover, and I overheard the plastic surgeon say I had grade three ptosis. I'm a dentist, and if a patient has class three mobility of teeth, that makes for an easy extraction, but more involved implant placement. I was just curious if the specific classification makes for an easier or more involved surgery, and an easier or more complex recovery and/or result?
