Abstract |
Introduction |
Severe ptosis of more than 4mm with poor levator function of less than 4mm is treated via the frontalis muscle suspension technique using autogenous temporal fascia.
Technical note |
The surgery was performed under general anaesthesia. The eyelid crease was incised and the tarsus exposed. An incision centered on the mid-pupillary level was then made just above the eyebrow with exposure of the frontalis muscle. The temporal fascia strip was sutured to the tarsus at three points. Every free end of the strip was then slid through the adjacent forehead subcutaneous tunnel to emerge together through the medial forehead incision. The eyelid crease was re-formed by suturing the skin with the graft.
Discussion |
Frontalis suspension using autologous material is a harmless procedure, which does not alter the upper eyelid structures. It is an effective procedure in the long-term.
