Talk:Ptosis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I have congenital ptosis and had surgery, but it wasn't the procedure described in the article as it is now. The muscle controlling my eyelid was simply cut, trimmed, and sewn back together. As I understand it, the procedure of connecting the eyelid muscle to the muscle in the forehead is a different procedure and is only used in more severe cases. But I am not a doctor, and I don't know the proper terminology, so I won't edit the article. In case anyone is wondering, it didn't completely correct the problem, and my ptosis is still noticable. Now, when I look down, the eyelid with the ptosis is actually higher than the normal eyelid (the reverse of the usual situation).
- Thanks for the info! I originated the article when I met a friend who has ptosis and who had the frontalis lift procedure. I've editted the article to note that it's only one of the possible procedures. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:54, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] shuffle
I hope no-one minds, I felt that the sentence that should have been the beginning of the article was in the second paragraph. I've just moved things around a little. — riana_dzasta • t • c • e • 13:03, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
