The surgery is based on connecting the tarsal plate to the eyebrow with various sling materials. Although fascia lata is most commonly used due to its long-lasting effect and low rate of complications, it has several limitations such as difficulty of harvesting, in...

متن کاملSilicon tube frontalis suspension in simple congenital blepharoptosis.
BACKGROUND Ptosis is an abnormally low position of the upper eyelid. Congenital ptosis should be corrected in early years of childhood. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and complications of frontalis suspension using silicon tube for simple congenital blepharoptosis with poor levator function. METHODS A prospective study was performed on 33 children who underwent frontalis sus...
