What Kind Of Surgeon Should I Go To For Eyelid Ptosis Repair?

Oculo-plastic surgeons are highly specialized surgeons who trained in ophthalmology first, then went on to obtain additional training in plastic surgery of the eyelids, orbit and surrounding area. For ptosis surgery, an oculo-plastic surgeon should be your first choice. An internet search for ASOPRS in the US or ESOPRS in Europe will help you find oculo-plastic surgeons who can help you. 

 

Although some plastic surgeons will do this procedure, oculoplastic surgeons have the best training and most experience.  This is a difficult surgery to get right, so it is worthwhile to be highly selective in choosing a surgeon.
