I'm getting it done in a few weeks for slight ptosis.
Answer: How painful is eyelid ptosis surgery ? It is not painful. The numbing injections stings for a few seconds and that's it. See following video for someone undergoing the procedure.

Answer: It should not be painful at all. It can be done under local anesthesia. However, most people have a degree of anxiety about having surgery and do best having a light intravenous sedation for the surgery. That way you have almost no awareness of the surgery. Post operatively it is also very comfortable.

Answer: Minimally painful I used to prescribe 10 tablets of narcotic pain medication (Vicodin) for Muellerectomy, but have stopped prescribing it since no one ever seemed to take it. I prefer to do all ptosis repairs under conscious sedation, but sometimes there isn't the availability of an anesthetist. If that is the case, the surgery isn't painful since local anesthesia is used, but it can be very nerve wracking having sharp things so close to your eye. I would definitely take a Valium or Xanax prior to the surgery if conscious sedation is not available. Ophthalmic lubrication is important in the first few days.

Answer: Mullerectomy There is usually minimal discomfort with a mullerectomy. Some patients will feel a sandy sensation for the first couple of days since the incision is on the underside of the eyelid. Artificial tears are usually sufficient to help with this discomfort. But real pain is very rare.

Answer: Pain with eyelid surgery Pain after surgery on the underside of the lid aka internal ptosis aka muller muscle surgery can be a very pleasant operation with proper planning. Because the sutures are on the insider of the lid, you feel some irritation on the eyes which can be treated with lubrication after surgery.
