Abstract:
Complicated ptosis can be corrected by frontal suspension with autologous fascia lata. Via an open approach, the fascia is implanted between the brow and the tarsal plate behind the septum. The oblique implantation between the tarsus and the brow preserves the flexibility of elevation, closure and blinking of the upper lid. Additionally, the skin crease is improved by this technique.
