Abstract: Ptosis is a common eyelid disorder that can cause significant functional and aesthetic impairment. This study aimed to describe the characteristics of ptosis and the outcomes of surgical treatment in our setting. Methods: We conducted a retrospective descriptive study of 15 patients treated for ptosis in the Plastic Surgery Department of Oued Eddahab Military Hospital, Agadir, over 18 months. All patients underwent levator palpebrae muscle resection, with skin resection when indicated. Results: The mean age was 39 years, and 73.3% of patients were male. Ptosis was unilateral in all cases and severe in 86.7%. Levator function was moderate in 80% and weak in 20%. Congenital ptosis was the most common etiology (53.3%), followed by senile (40%) and traumatic ptosis (6.7%). After a mean follow-up of 6 months, two patients had residual under correction. Overall, 86.7% of patients were satisfied with the functional and aesthetic results. Conclusion: Levator resection provided satisfactory functional and aesthetic outcomes in most patients, including those with severe ptosis.
