Background:The success rates of conjunctiva-Müller muscle resection vary in reports of previous studies, with 81% to 88.6% success rates having been reported in other countries. Few studies have reported on the surgical success rates of conjunctiva-Müller muscle resection in Korea compared to the number of reports on other methods of blepharoptosis repair. We therefore sought to determine the clinical efficacy and success rate of conjunctiva-Müller muscle resection in patients with mild blepharoptosis and identify the factors that affect the surgical success rate.Objective: This study was performed to evaluate of the clinical efficacy and success rate of conjunctiva-Müller muscle resection (posterior approach technique) in patients with mild blepharoptosis and to identify the factors that affect its surgical success rate.Methods: Surgeries were performed by one surgeon in 30 patients (35 eyes) and only when the marginal reflex distance 1 (MRD1) increased over 1 mm at 5 minutes after the administration of 0.25% phenylephrine eye drops. The MRD1, MRD2, Brow-pupil distance (BPD), and interpalpebral fissure (IPF) were measured pre-operatively, 1 month post-operatively, and at the final follow-up visit. Results:The mean MRD1 increased significantly from 0.83±0.96 mm pre-operatively to 2.45±0.77 mm post-operatively (p=0.012).The mean IPF also increased significantly from 5.54±2.04 mm pre-operatively to 7.62±1.85 mm post-operatively (p=0.003). The mean BPD, however, did not change significantly (22.94±4.96 mm pre-operatively and 23.19±5.72 mm post-operatively, p=0.863). The post-operative MRD1 for the eye with blepharoptosis was less than 1 mm compared to that for the opposite eye. Conclusion:Conjunctiva-Müller muscle resection is a safe and effective surgical method in patients with mild or moderate blepharoptosis with good levator palpebrae muscle function in which the post-operative results can be predicted on the basis of the amount of muscle resection.

“…3 The relationships between the adjacent regions also play important roles, and it is believed that the beauty of the face is the result of the relationship between each facial region and symmetry of its components. 4,5 As a result, quantitative data of linear and angular measurements and proportional indices can provide objective criteria for the cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. 4 To date, however, few have been done on the orbital anthropometric measurements and proportional indices for Han Chinese population.…”

“…5 Several studies have commented on the effect of blepharoplasty on eyebrow position, with some authors indicating that blepharoplasty leads to a decrease in eyebrow height and others indicating that blepharoplasty does not affect eyebrow height. [7][8][9][10][11] This study does not support the contention that blepharoplasty specifically influences eyebrow height, as the change in eyebrow height did not differ between the 2 groups of MMCR patients assessed here.…”
