What is Ptosis, and how is it corrected?

Ptosis is a drooping of the upper eyelid, which can block vision or cause strain. Dr. Pooja Patel corrects ptosis through a specialized surgery that tightens the levator muscle, restoring the eyelid to its natural, functional position with minimal visible scarring.

What is DCR surgery, and is it painful?

DCR (Dacryocystorhinostomy) is a day-care procedure to bypass a blocked tear duct, which causes excessive eye watering and infections. It is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, making it highly comfortable. Patients usually recover within 5 to 7 days.

Are eyelid tumors always cancerous? How are they treated?

No, many eyelid tumors are benign (non-cancerous), such as cysts or papillomas. However, malignant ones (like basal cell carcinoma) must be surgically removed. Dr. Pooja specializes in complete tumor excision followed by aesthetic reconstruction to preserve both function and cosmetic appearance.

What is blepharoplasty, and how long does the recovery take?

Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic procedure to remove excess skin or fat from the eyelids, addressing baggy eyes or saggy skin. The procedure takes 1-2 hours, and recovery takes about 7 to 10 days, after which patients notice a significantly rejuvenated appearance.
