There are many causes of ptosis, including weakening of the muscle that opens the upper eyelid, congenital weakness, trauma, prior surgery, or neurologic disease. On the other hand, the most common reason is due to stretching of the tendon that attaches to the main muscle in charge of elevating the top eyelid from aging. Undergoing Santa Monica Eyelid Surgery at the hands of a licensed and experienced surgeon will not only restore a younger look, but will additionally help enhance any visual shortfalls from the ptosis. This process is frequently done in conjunction with an upper eyelid blepharoplasty.
