Recovery Guide

What to expect during Ptosis Correction recovery

DA Ptosis Correction improves droopy or sleepy-looking eyes caused by weakened levator muscles, which are responsible for lifting the upper eyelids. In patients with ptosis, the eyelids sit lower than normal, making the eyes appear tired, small, or asymmetric. DA’s method enhances eyelid height and opening power by tightening or repositioning the levator muscle, restoring brighter and more alert eye expression. Unlike simple double-eyelid surgery, ptosis correction addresses functional eyelid issues at the muscle level, creating wider, more defined eyes while maintaining a natural aesthetic balance.

Estimated cost
$2,000 – $4,500
