Can a plastic surgeon repair upper eyelid ptosis?

Asked By:Jay7032 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I have a sagging eyelid which I believe to be ptosis. I am going to talk to my doctor about it but I am just wondering if this is something that a plastic surgeon could repair? What is the difference between upper blepharoplasty and ptosis repair? Or are they the same thing?
