Best Dermatologist for Ptosis Treatment in San Francisco
What is Ptosis?
Ptosis, also known as drooping eyelid, is a condition characterized by an abnormally low positioning of one or both upper eyelids. This can lead to a reduction in the field of vision and an asymmetrical appearance of the eyes. At the California Center for Dermatologic Surgery, Dr. Carlson and our team understand the impact that ptosis can have on both your visual function and overall confidence. Whether the ptosis is congenital or acquired, our comprehensive approach to treatment involves a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause and the most suitable intervention for your specific needs. From non-surgical options to advanced surgical techniques, we are committed to providing you with personalized care to address ptosis and help you achieve a more balanced, revitalized look.
What Causes It?
Ptosis, or drooping eyelid, can be caused by a variety of factors that affect the muscles responsible for lifting the eyelid. Common causes include age-related weakening of the levator muscle, nerve damage, trauma, or underlying medical conditions such as myasthenia gravis or Horner syndrome. Congenital ptosis, present from birth, may result from developmental issues in the eyelid muscles or nerves. Additionally, certain lifestyle factors, such as eye strain, excessive rubbing of the eyes, or wearing heavy eyeglasses, can contribute to the development of ptosis. At the California Center for Dermatologic Surgery, Dr. Carlson and our team are dedicated to identifying the root cause of your ptosis to provide you with personalized treatment options tailored to your specific situation.
Can It Be Treated?
Ptosis can be effectively treated through a range of tailored interventions that address the underlying causes of the condition. At the California Center for Dermatologic Surgery, Dr. Carlson and our expert team offer personalized treatment options designed to lift and rejuvenate drooping eyelids. Depending on the severity and root cause of your ptosis, non-surgical approaches such as specialized eye exercises or the use of eyelid-supporting devices may be effective. For more advanced cases or when non-surgical methods are not sufficient, surgical procedures such as blepharoplasty or ptosis repair can be recommended to restore a more balanced and refreshed appearance to the eyes. Our comprehensive approach to ptosis treatment focuses on understanding your unique needs and providing you with the most suitable interventions to achieve a brighter, lifted, and more youthful look.
