What is a Ptosis Repair?
Ptosis repair is eyelid surgery that corrects a drooping upper eyelid caused by weakness or stretching of the levator muscle that lifts the lid. Unlike upper blepharoplasty — which removes excess skin — ptosis repair tightens or reattaches the lifting muscle so the eyelid opens to its proper height, improving both appearance and, often, vision.
Surgery takes under an hour under local anesthesia, usually through an incision in the natural eyelid crease. Expect bruising and swelling for 1 to 2 weeks, with the eyelid height settling over several weeks to a few months.
When ptosis blocks part of the vision, insurance may cover the repair. It is often combined with upper blepharoplasty when both excess skin and muscle droop are present. An oculoplastic or facial plastic surgeon typically performs it.
How much does a Ptosis Repair cost in Chicago?
Ptosis repair in Chicago typically starts at $3,000 and ranges up to $6,000 all-in. When ptosis affects vision, insurance may cover part of the cost.

What to ask your provider
- Is my droopy lid from muscle weakness (ptosis) or excess skin — or both?
- Could insurance cover this if it affects my vision?
- Are you an oculoplastic or facial plastic surgeon experienced in ptosis repair?
- Can I see before-and-after photos of your own ptosis patients?
- What does the quote include — surgeon fee, anesthesia, and facility?
- What are the chances of needing a revision to fine-tune lid height?
Frequently asked questions
How much does ptosis repair cost in Chicago?
Ptosis repair in Chicago typically starts at $3,000 and ranges up to $6,000 all-in. When the drooping lid blocks vision, insurance may cover part of the cost. Combining it with upper blepharoplasty adds to the total.
What is the difference between ptosis repair and upper blepharoplasty?
Upper blepharoplasty removes excess eyelid skin. Ptosis repair tightens the levator muscle that lifts the eyelid, raising the lid height itself. A heavy, low lid can be caused by either or both, so they are sometimes done together — the surgeon determines which you need.
Does insurance cover ptosis repair?
When ptosis droops enough to block part of your field of vision, the repair is often considered medically necessary and partly covered by insurance. A visual field test usually documents this. Purely cosmetic cases are generally not covered.
How long is recovery after ptosis repair?
Expect bruising and swelling for 1 to 2 weeks. The final eyelid height settles over several weeks to a few months. A small percentage of patients need a minor revision to fine-tune symmetry.
