According to Pari Shams, the Consultant Oculoplastic Surgeon at Pari Shams, “Congenital ptosis, often referred to as droopy eyelids since birth, poses unique challenges for patients. Unlike acquired ptosis, which may develop later in life due to various factors, congenital ptosis manifests early, impacting both aesthetics and functionality. The condition stems from a weakening or malformation of the levator muscles responsible for lifting the eyelids, leading to a drooping appearance. While some cases may be mild, others can significantly impair vision and self-esteem if left untreated.”

At the forefront of oculoplastic surgery, Dr Pari Shams embodies a rare blend of surgical prowess and compassionate care. With extensive training and a deep understanding of ocular anatomy, she approaches each case of congenital ptosis with meticulous attention to detail.

With a keen eye for aesthetic balance and functional restoration, Dr Shams seamlessly combines artistry with science, helping patients reclaim their confidence and vitality.
