My Story - Revisional Ptosis Surgery - Dr. Kami Parsa, Beverly Hills

http://oculoplastic.info

A 24 year old female had plastic surgery to fix a scar on her forehead that she got when she was a kid and also to reduce her frown lines.

The plastic surgeon performed the procedure using a newly developed technique. He went in through her eyelids to get to the scar tissue and also release the brow muscles.

While recovering from the surgery she realized something had gone wrong. She had lost function of her right upper
eyelid leaving her unable to open her eye completely.

Alerting her surgeon to this problem, a 2nd surgery was scheduled to identify and correct the cause of the problem.

Following her 2nd surgery, the problem only got worse. Realizing there was a breakdown of care she began researching other doctors who specialized in people born with this condition and found oculoplastic surgeon Dr. Kami Parsa.

After her initial consultation with Dr. Parsa he immediately reconized what the
anatomical problem was and assured her that is was something that could be fixed.

After surgery her expectations were blown out of the water and she now has 100% recovery of her eyelid.

Ptosis, pronounced toe-sis, is the medical term for drooping of the upper eyelids. The droopy eyelid can be mild to severe. People who have ptosis may complain that people tell them they look "tired or lazy." Because of a constant effort to raise the eyelids it is not uncommon to also complain of fatigue and tension headaches.

Dr. Kami Parsa is an Oculoplastic & Reconstructive Surgeon who specializes exclusively in reconstructive, revisional and cosmetic surgery of the eyes and surrounding tissue. His expertise in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery has made him the choice for patients who have had previous plastic surgery and now need revisional surgery around the eyes.

In addition to maintaining a busy surgical practice, Dr. Parsa is involved in several humanitarian organizations. He is the President of Universal Children's Medical Fund, a non-profit organization committed to delivering surgical care and education to children in developing countries. He is an active volunteer surgeon for International Kids Fund and has participated in numerous reconstructive surgeries through this organization. One of these cases was recently featured in an hour-long special entitled A New Face for Marlie on Discovery Health Channel.
