Excess eyelid skin after ptosis surgery (Photo)

April 10, 2024
Asked By:Reserved206910 in San Jose, California

Hello, is it possible to remove excess eyelid skin without disrupting the work from previous surgeries on the eyes? For more context, I have had a total of 3 double eyelid/ptosis surgeries on my eyes. Ptosis is finally fixed after the last revision. However, the eyelid skin still hangs on top of it giving it a heavy hooded look. How difficult is it to remove that excess skin without messing up the ptosis work and how risky is it?

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS says:

I didn't see where you mentioned how long post-op you are, but based on your scar it appears somewhat recent. 5-fluoruacil would be an option as you mentioned, as would massage and tincture of time. As long as the fixation sutures were well-placed, I would expect the lash to return to a normal...
