Abstract:
There are various surgical methods to correct blepharoptosis. Traumatic blepharoptosis is often the most difficult to correct. The authors experienced three cases of traumatic blepharoptosis, which had lid laxity, poor levator function and were severe in degree. Full-thickness eyelid rese ctions were performed and good cosmetic results were obtained. We report three cases of traumatic blepharoptosis treated with full-thickness eyelid resection and reviewed the literatures.
