Eyelid ptosis is a challenging disorder for even the most experienced surgeons. Join Dr. Wojno as he performs nine eyelid surgeries, and an in-office ptosis repair, providing tips and tricks for achieving optimal results while avoiding complications. Although this topic can be extremely complex with many, often obscure etiologic factors, most cases seen by the average surgeon will be limited to typical age-related ptosis, making diagnosis and treatment relatively straightforward. This is not to say that ptosis surgery is simple because numerous variables affect the outcome, but with proper diagnosis and treatment, most ptosis cases can be managed by a careful surgeon.

Multiple cases of involutional ptosis repair are presented, pointing out anatomic landmarks and noteworthy findings.
