In general, the best treatment time for ptosis correction is 5 or 6 years old, because the eye tissue development is relatively complete at this time. At this time, plastic surgery has a good effect. At present, there are three main ways to correct ptosis by plastic surgery.

1, levator palpebrae superioris shortened.

This method achieves the purpose of lifting eyelid by shortening levator palpebrae superioris muscle, which is suitable for children with mild ptosis.

2. Frontal myofascial suspension method

This method is to connect a small fascia lata of autologous thigh with frontalis muscle and upper eyelid, and use frontalis muscle contraction to strengthen the strength of levator palpebrae superioris muscle. Because the suspended fascia may become loose in the future, sometimes it will affect the surgical effect.

3. Frontal muscle flap method

This is also a method to strengthen the function of levator palpebrae superioris muscle by using the contraction of forehead muscle. Even if the eyelid muscles completely lose their function, better results can be obtained. The advantage of this operation is that only a small incision is needed along the fold of double eyelid, and the frontalis muscle flap can be separated and transferred to complete the operation, which plays a role in expanding eyes and has a reliable and lasting effect.
