This presentation was fascinating. I find pstosis intriguing because the condition affects so many people. Good presentation skills. Video was the perfect length. Cut em’ up.

A great video that even a layman like me could appreciate the content explained in simple manner.
Thank you so so much this give me hope,I had my surgery done two weeks ago and my eye lid has yet to move up ❤So I see that you said this takes a month for it to move up. I see my eye surgeon in six weeks, although my swelling has went down really really fast. My eyelid is still the same before prior to my surgery.😢
Dr. Walrath, I'm an oculoplastic surgeon in the Twin Cities. Your video is the best no-nonsense description of eyelid surgery I've seen on RU-vid. Your straightforward explanations, realistic revision rates, and unapologetic approach ("I don't do facelifts") are incredibly refreshing. Congrats.
I have ptosis. It effects my vision. I have also had Bell’s palsy twice on the same side of my face, but I don’t have any negative effects from it. I also have dry eyes. What causes ptosis?
Hmm? I'm going to see if I can get my upper correction since the lower blepharoplasty incision pulled the lid down more. I'm constantly with a runny eye on the side the upper lid is worse. I'd say that lid covers near my pupil too.
My ptosis surgery was NOT cosmetic, but function gain. Right eye is 60-70% of vision, left eye 30-40%, left eye droop more pronounced & obstructed, but didn't matter due to vision so weak in left eye. So, had both eyelids levators 'shortened' to unblock vision by a surgeon 'specialist' as you are, south of Atlanta. Left eye came out fine, right eye came our WORSE. Has been 17 days since procedure. Entire game was to correct vertical double vision because of ptosis causing wrinkle in cornea, causing vertical double vision., causing loss of detail in all times. Now worse as max lift of right eyelid is LOWER than before surgery. This has been an emotional disaster. This can be "revised" or corrected? Probably result in inability to close eyelid, right?
Great video. I think I have ptosis and doing my research to decide if surgical correction should be done sooner than later. I've noticed progression of the drooping for approximately a year.
I wish I could come to you, but I live in Germany. I really need help! My problem is, is had mild ptosis in my right upper lid from birth, but 2 weeks ago I had surgery done to my neck (benign tumour removal) and they damaged the sympathetic nerve which resulted in Horner´s syndrome, and it affects the same eye. So now I have got "double ptosis" :(. Could you please tell me if it is the same muscle that is now double affected by two ailments (congenital AND post surgery neurologic problem) or if it is two different muscles that are affected (one congenital and the other one from surgery)? My pupil is only just free, depending on my state of tiredness. I am able to pull up the eyelid just enough to see properly without using the eye brow, but it is exhausting to the lid muscle when I try to open it really wide. Do you think I need the frontalis sling or might the usual procedure possibly be enough to fix this?
