Abstract:
26 eyes (16 cases) of severe congenital blepharoptosis were treated with direct suspension b m. Frontalis with satisfactory results. The procedure included separation of the skin and subcutaneous tissue through an incision at the eyelid fold upward to expose the tarsal plate and to reach m. Frontalis, from which a strip is isolated to be sutured to the front surface of the tarsal plate at a proper level, so as to provide effective forceful suspension without inducing deformity, entropiou or ectropion of the eyelid.
