A 24 year old female underwent a cosmetic procedure to eliminate a scar on her forehead that she got as a kid and also reduce her adult frown lines .
While recovering she noticed that she had lost the use of her right upper eyelid
Alerting her surgeon to this problem, a 2nd surgery was scheduled to identify and correct the cause of the ptosis. Following her 2nd surgery, the ptosis only became worse.
Realizing there was a serious breakdown in care, she began researching other doctors who specialized in people born with this condition and quickly scheduled a consultation with oculoplastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Kami Parsa.
During her initial consultationwith Dr. Parsa, he immediately reconized what the anatomical problem was and assured her that is was something that could be fixed. Following her surgery with Dr. Parsa her expectations were blown out of the water and she now has 100% recovery of her eyelid.
Ptosis, pronounced toe-sis, is the medical term for drooping of the upper eyelids. The droopy eyelid can be mild to severe. People who have ptosis may complain that people tell them they look "tired or lazy." Because of a constant effort to raise the eyelids it is not uncommon to also complain of fatigue and tension headaches.
Dr. Kami Parsa specializes exclusively in reconstructive , revisional and cosmetic surgery of the eyes and surrounding tissue.
