Abstract

Ptosis is a droop of the upper lid. It is an important observation for facial practitioners to recognise, as it can have implications in the decisions made regarding treatment. There are several causes of ptosis and not all of them stem from eyelid pathology. In this article, the author discusses the different types of ptosis; how to identify ptosis; how to examine; and when to refer or refuse aesthetic treatment.
