Reconstructive Upper Eyelid Surgery:

Jan Lee did not mind failing her vision test, because doing so would present her with the means of having better vision. Sounds crazy doesn’t it? But when I read her story I could see why this young lady wished this.

Jan had upper eyelids that drooped heavily and obstructed her vision. The tests were carried out to prove to her insurance company that her eyelid surgery was not for cosmetic purposes.

It felt good to know that her insurance request was accepted and that she was signaled to go ahead with the eyelid surgery procedure. Droopy eyelids or Ptosis is a condition that is usually inherited and can vary from mild to a severe case.

The condition is the result of the weakening of the levator muscle which occurs in the upper eyelid and performs the function of anchoring the upper eyelid in place.

Reconstructive eyelid surgery cases have been successfully carried out at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, an advanced surgical institute. The surgery center at Huntington Beach has been at the fore-front of plastic surgery practice and is manned by board certified doctors like Dr. Mazin Al Hakeem, Dr. Luu Q. Doan and Dr. Brian Robert West.
