The Oculofacial Center offers expert ptosis repair in Bethesda, MD, for patients seeking to correct drooping eyelids. This specialized procedure restores both eyelid function and appearance, helping improve vision and confidence. Dr. Mehta’s advanced training ensures personalized care and natural-looking results.
Before the procedure begins, you will receive local anesthesia to ensure comfort and minimize discomfort. The surgical area is carefully cleansed and prepared, and Dr. Mehta reviews the planned surgical approach based on your eyelid anatomy and degree of ptosis.
Once the muscle adjustment is complete, Dr. Mehta carefully repositions the eyelid to achieve proper height and symmetry. The incision is then closed with fine sutures to support healing and minimize visible scarring.
After ptosis repair, most patients notice improvement in eyelid position as initial swelling and bruising subside. Visible refinement continues over several weeks as healing progresses and the eyelids settle into their new position. Follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor recovery and ensure stable, functional results.
Ptosis repair offers functional and aesthetic benefits by improving upper eyelid position and restoring a more open, alert appearance. Many patients experience improved vision when drooping eyelids previously interfered with their field of view, along with improved eyelid symmetry and comfort.
The Oculofacial Center is located in Bethesda, MD and serves patients from Washington, DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia. The practice focuses exclusively on facial and eyelid surgery, with an emphasis on careful evaluation, precise surgical planning, and patient-centered care. Dr. Mehta takes the time to understand each patient’s concerns and eyelid function, providing clear guidance and individualized treatment plans to achieve balanced, natural results.
