    This study presents a simplified surgical technique for correcting blepharoptosis (droopy eyelid) using an anterior approach. The method preserves eyelid anatomy, minimizes dissection and swelling, and is effective for acquired and some congenital cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Blepharoptosis, or droopy eyelid, can be corrected surgically.
    • Existing techniques may involve extensive dissection or specialized instruments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a simplified anterior approach for tucking the levator palpebrae superioris aponeurosis and muscle.
    • To evaluate the advantages of this simplified technique for blepharoptosis correction.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized an anterior (skin) approach for the surgical correction of blepharoptosis.
    • Employed a simplified technique requiring no special instruments.

    Main Results:

    • The technique allows for preservation of normal eyelid anatomy.
    • It involves minimal dissection and results in reduced post-operative edema.

  • Preliminary cases show promising outcomes.

    • Conclusions:

    • The simplified anterior tucking technique is a viable option for blepharoptosis correction.
    • It is particularly suitable for acquired blepharoptosis and congenital cases with preserved levator function.
