What is the surgical method of ptosis correction?
Hello, there are many reasons for ptosis, but these can be solved by ptosis correction. The following are the surgical methods for ptosis correction: (1) levator palpebrae superioris shortening: With the improvement of numerous surgeons, the methods for ptosis correction have changed greatly, which can be roughly divided into transconjunctival incision (inner incision) and percutaneous incision (outer incision) or combined incision of conjunctival skin. The blepharoptosis correction is suitable for bilateral or unilateral mild or moderate congenital blepharoptosis, and the levator palpebrae superioris muscle still has some functions (the muscle strength of levator palpebrae superioris muscle is more than 5mm). Correcting ptosis can also be used for acquired aponeurosis ptosis. The method of ptosis correction keeps the original walking and moving direction of muscles, which is more in line with the physiological requirements of eyes, and the effect of ptosis correction is also ideal.

(2) Frontal muscle lifting: There are two ways to lift the frontalis muscle: one is to connect the tarsus and frontalis muscle with various materials or tissues, and blepharoptosis correction indirectly corrects blepharoptosis with frontalis muscle strength. Experts from Nanjing Plastic Surgery Hospital pointed out that the materials and tissues used in blepharoptosis correction at present include autologous fascia, skin, muscle, allogenic dura mater, allogenic sclera, silk thread, silver thread, stainless steel thread and silicone rubber strip. Among them, the autologous fascia lata has a good effect, and there will be no rejection and extension after implantation. After ptosis correction, the ptosis height and eyelid shape are stable.

Another method to correct blepharoptosis is to directly use frontalis muscle to make frontalis muscle flap, move it down and sew it with the upper eyelid plate, and directly lift the eyelid with frontalis muscle strength to correct blepharoptosis, which is called frontalis muscle flap direct suspension. Because the operation is dynamic, patients can not only open their eyes, but also close their eyes after ptosis correction. In addition, after the correction of ptosis, the deep wrinkles on his forehead can disappear naturally, making his forehead look wide and flat, and patients can also get the cosmetic effect of double eyelids after the correction of ptosis.
