— Maia Christiansen - My BPES Story
You’re Invited: Maia’s BPES Journey – Live on Zoom
Join us for a special Zoom session as we hear 7-year-old Maia’s inspiring journey with BPES (Blepharophimosis, Ptosis, Epicanthus Inversus Syndrome). Born with the condition, Maia underwent her first surgery at 11 months — which was supposed to be sling surgery but ended up as supramid sutures, unbeknownst to her parents. Last year, she finally received life-changing frontal flap surgery from Dr. Medel in Spain.
Come listen, learn, and show your support as we share Maia’s experience, from her earliest struggles to her recent progress.

— Frequently Asked Questions with Dr Ramon Medel
Join us for an exclusive live Question & Answer webinar with world-renowned oculoplastic surgeon Dr. Ramon Medel, a pioneer of the frontal flap method for ptosis correction.
This informative session is open to all — adults, children, and parents considering surgery for their child, those preparing for an upcoming procedure, or anyone navigating post-surgery recovery.
Dr. Medel will address the most common questions about the procedure, recovery timeline, expected outcomes, and what to anticipate at each stage of the journey. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to ask your own questions in the live Q&A. Whether you’re exploring your options or have already had surgery, this is a valuable chance to hear directly from Dr. Medel and gain confidence and clarity.
