class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Differences_between_Ptosis_correction_and_blepharoplasty_surgeries\"><\/span>Differences between Ptosis correction and blepharoplasty surgeries:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ufukaskeroglu.com\/en\/ptosis-turkey\/\">Ptosis <\/a>is the condition in which one or both upper eyelids droop over your pupil. (<a href=\"https:\/\/theaestheticscenterturkey.co.uk\/ptosis-surgery-turkey\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ptosis <\/a>&#038; Blepharoplasty Differences) Your pupil, the black dot in the centre of your eye that lets light in, may be completely covered by the sagging eyelid, or the droop may be so little that it is scarcely perceptible. (Ptosis &#038; Blepharoplasty Differences) However, upper blepharoplasty is the removal of excess skin from the upper eyelid. Most cases of drooping eyelids are not caused by an illness, but rather by age. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is performed to get rid of the sagging or excess skin. It is possible to enhance the appearance of the eyelids in milder situations.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cosmetic_vs_Function\"><\/span>Cosmetic vs. Function<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ufukaskeroglu.com\/en\/ptosis-turkey\/\">Ptosis <\/a>correction is mostly functional, as opposed to blepharoplasty, which is seen as a cosmetic operation. To enable the eyelid muscle to raise and open the eyelid appropriately again, ptosis restoration shortens or tightens it. What causes and how severe the ptosis is determines the specifics of the treatment.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_causes_Ptosis\"><\/span>What causes Ptosis?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Causes_of_ptosis_in_children\"><\/span>Causes of ptosis in children<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Children can be born with ptosis, which is called congenital ptosis. It can be caused by problems with the levator muscle \u2013 the main muscle that lifts the eyelid. Children may be at risk for vision problems if they have ptosis. If the child\u2019s eyelid droops to the extent that it blocks vision, amblyopia (\u201clazy eye\u201d) can develop, and one eye will have better vision than the other.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Causes_of_ptosis_in_adults\"><\/span>Causes of ptosis in adults<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Adults get ptosis \u2013 called involutional ptosis \u2013 when the levator muscle stretches and separates from the eyelid. This can be caused by aging, as a result of an eye injury, or sometimes as a side effect of certain eye surgery. Occasionally other diseases can affect the eyelid muscle, causing ptosis.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ptosis_Surgery_Cost_in_Turkey\"><\/span>Ptosis Surgery Cost in Turkey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The cost of ptosis correction surgery in Turkey may vary depending on a variety of factors such as surgeon\u2019s experience and expertise, but it ranges from 1500\u00a3 to 3000\u00a3 depending on the quality of the clinic. Ptosis in Turkey is a surgery that not all plastic surgeons are able to perform, some surgeons would not even be able to diagnose it. Experience is the key!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blepharoplasty_Surgery_Cost_in_Turkey\"><\/span>Blepharoplasty Surgery Cost in Turkey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The price of blepharoplasty surgery in Turkey can range from 1500\u00a3 to 3000\u00a3, depending on a number of criteria including the surgeon&#8217;s experience and skill. (Blepharoplasty in Turkey) You should choose your operating surgeon meticulously to make sure that you are at the right clinic.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ptosis_Surgery_Length\"><\/span>Ptosis Surgery Length<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The length of operation for ptosis correction in Turkey is approximately 30-40 minutes, however if combined with other facial or corporal cosmetic surgeries,(Ptosis &#038; Blepharoplasty Differences) the operation length may vary. Ptosis can be done under local or general anaesthesia. 4-5 hours after this operation patients can leave the hospital, so hospitalization is not required.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Suture_Removal_After_Ptosis_Surgery\"><\/span>Suture Removal After Ptosis Surgery<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Since ptosis correction is done using internal and absorbable sutures, suture removal is not necessary since they will dissolve on their own in a week or two.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blepharoplasty_Surgery_Length\"><\/span>Blepharoplasty Surgery Length<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Removing the excess skin on the upper eyelid (blepharoplasty in Turkey) takes roughly 30 minutes. Like ptosis correction, blepharoplasty can be done either under local or general anaesthesia, &#038; patients will be able to leave the hospital 1-2 hours the operation.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Suture_Removal_After_Blepharoplasty_in_Turkey\"><\/span>Suture Removal After Blepharoplasty in Turkey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The sutures after blepharoplasty surgery needs to be removed 8-10 days post-operation to allow optimal healing time. Since it is a simple procedure, in some cases patients who do not want to stay longer in Istanbul, can simply pull the suture on their own or have it done by a nurse in their home country.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221;

(Ptosis &#038; Blepharoplasty Differences) Your pupil, the black dot in the centre of your eye that lets light in, may be completely covered by the sagging eyelid, or the droop may be so little that it is scarcely perceptible. (Ptosis &#038; Blepharoplasty Differences) However, upper blepharoplasty is the removal of excess skin from the upper eyelid. Most cases of drooping eyelids are not caused by an illness, but rather by age. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is performed to get rid of the sagging or excess skin. It is possible to enhance the appearance of the eyelids in milder situations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9205,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[79],"tags":[211,209,210,208,212],"ppma_author":[444],"class_list":{"0":"post-11616","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ufuk-askeroglu-en-2","8":"tag-eye-bag-surgery-before-and-after","9":"tag-hooded-eyes-vs-excess-skin","10":"tag-ptosis-causes-and-treatments","11":"tag-ptosis-correction-vs-blepharoplasty-surgery","12":"tag-ptosis-surgery-cost-in-turkey"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Ptosis &amp; Blepharoplasty Differences - Ufuk Askero\u011flu<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Over 10,000 Satisfied Patients.
