A mini-invasive approach for levator aponeurosis advancement corrects aponeurogenic ptosis effectively. This technique offers advantages over traditional methods, including shorter surgical times and minimal scarring.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Levator aponeurosis advancement is a standard surgical technique for aponeurogenic ptosis.
  • Traditional methods involve extensive eyelid crease incisions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and advantages of a mini-invasive approach for ptosis correction.
  • To compare the mini-invasive technique with the standard levator advancement procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 48 patients with involutional ptosis and good levator function.
  • Unilateral or bilateral ptosis repair using a mini-invasive approach with a 0.8 cm incision.

Main Results:

  • The mini-invasive technique demonstrated effectiveness and reliability comparable to the traditional method.

  • Shorter surgical time, improved postoperative recovery with minimal edema, and no visible scar were observed.

    • Conclusions:

    • The mini-invasive ptosis correction technique is a viable alternative to the traditional approach for selected patients.
    • This method offers significant advantages in terms of patient recovery and aesthetic outcome.
