Congenital ptosis is mainly due to the poor development of levator palpebrae superioris muscle used to lift the upper eyelid muscle, or the motor nerve function that dominates this muscle is incomplete, so that the eyes can not be opened wide, and the drooping eyelid covers a part of the pupil, which is generally related to heredity. In this case, some corrective actions are often used to solve it.
There are two common methods: 1 and frontalis muscle lifting. There are generally two ways to lift the frontalis muscle. One is to connect the tarsal plate with the frontalis muscle by means of tissue, and indirectly correct ptosis by using the strength of frontalis muscle. At present, autologous fascia lata is the best material, and there will be no rejection after implantation. The height of eyelid fissure and eyelid shape are stable after operation, and the treatment effect is ideal. Another method is to make a frontal muscle flap directly from the frontal muscle and move it down to sew it with the upper eyelid plate. This method does not need intermediate connection, and the effect of treating congenital ptosis is very ideal.
2. Shortening levator palpebrae superioris muscle. The shortening of levator palpebrae superioris meets the physiological requirements of the eye and the postoperative effect is ideal. However, the shortening of levator palpebrae superioris is limited to mild and moderate ptosis with partial function of levator palpebrae superioris. If the levator palpebrae superioris function is poor, the effect of levator palpebrae superioris shortening may not be ideal. If the levator palpebrae superioris function is completely lost, it will be more difficult to work, and it will only have negative effects if it is carried out reluctantly.
Don't worry about congenital ptosis. Both of the above correction methods can treat congenital ptosis, but you can go to a regular plastic surgery hospital and find Meilai in Xiamen to ensure the effect and safety of the operation.
