Key takeaways:

  • A study evaluated patients’ awareness of their own ptosis.
  • About 20% of patients said they were interested in a cash-pay nonsurgical treatment option for ptosis.

“Self-reported ptosis data is very hard to come by,” she said. “It’s almost nonexistent in the medical literature.”
