Palpebral ptosis is a condition caused by different congenital and acquired pathologies. Seeing difficulty due to the visual field obstruction, prefrontal headaches due to chronic use of the frontalis muscle in an attempt to lift the eyelids and cosmetic deformity are the main complaints of the patients. The surgical correction of the ptosis can be challenging. According to the preoperative evaluation, the most appropriate technique should be used to maximize the postoperator result. We describe a new surgical approach for severe upper eyelids acquired ptosis consisting in reanimation of both eyelids by using the neighboring active muscle. We considered the patient a good candidate for the new surgical approach we introduce as one time operative procedure. The result was a normal palpebral fissure for both eyes. The advantage of this approach consists in performing one time surgery followed by immediate postoperative mobilization of the upper eyelids which determine the recovery of the upper lids motility by further self-control.

BACKGROUND Drooping of upper lid is commonly known as ptosis. It may be unilateral or bilateral. It may be congenital or acquired. We wanted to evaluate the functional and cosmetic correction, complications and recurrence of levator plication and compare the same with tarso frontalis sling with silicon rod in severe ptosis with poor function LPS. METHODSThis is an institution based prospective, randomized, international comparative study of 40 eyes over a period of two years. Group A comprised of 20 eyes operated with levator plication of which three interrupted vertical mattress sutures with supra maximal plication of LPS. Group B comprised of 20 eyes operated with tarso frontalis sling with silicon rod. RESULTSOut of operated 40 cases, complications included significant inflammation and oedema in 1 st post-operative week in plication Gr-A. Scar was more in plication Gr-A. In this study, 6 cases had not satisfactory (gross under correction) result in plication Gr. and one case in Gr. B. This was treated with readjustment of the sling. With respect to uplift or fixed lid height post operatively, comparison between Gr -A and Gr -B results shows that there was good uplift with brow up and brow down in Group B which is statically significant (p<0.001). All the patients were followed up for six months to one year. CONCLUSIONSIn severe ptosis correction, tarso frontal sling is superior than supramaximal plication of LPS with regard to complications like inflammation, oedema, scar and cosmetic lid height. From technical point of view, surgical procedure is much easier (minimal invasive) in Gr-B. with a period of one year follow up.

“…The limited incision blepharoplasty technique should be one of the choices for Asian blepharoplasty. Frontalis action should also be considered because some patients have the habit of raising only one side of their brow unintentionally [13][14][15] . This will cause unequal eyelid creases that cannot to be corrected surgically.…”

“…Ptosis should be corrected at the same time when the lid crease surgery is performed; otherwise, the symmetry of lid crease is unable to be achieved especially in the unilateral ptosis. The ptosis correction described in most references used long upper eyelid incision (>20 mm) [14,15] . In this technique, the correction was able to be performed with a shorter incision (10-15 mm).…”

Refinement in Asian blepharoplasty for the aging

Abstract:Signs of an aging face beginning at the periorbital region are easily noticeable and may require surgical correction. The hanging of upper eyelids, tired look, and sunken upper eyelids are common symptoms and signs. Most of the described techniques of blepharoplasty for the aging emphasize on the excision of the hanging eyelid skin which will leave patients with long scar. However, eyebrow and eyelid ptosis are common among aging people. Therefore, undertaking only an upper blepharoplasty does not necessarily yield good aesthetic results. This paper describes a modified blepharoplasty technique with limited incision. The operation also includes eyebrow reposition and/or correction of eyelid ptosis that further improve results. An asymmetry of the frontalis muscle could cause asymmetry in the eyelid folds post-operatively. However, botulinum toxin injection may correct this problem.
