    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Ptosis, or drooping eyelid, can be congenital or acquired, impacting vision and aesthetics.
    • Existing brow suspension techniques may require specialized instruments and multiple incisions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a modified, simple brow suspension technique for ptosis repair.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of this technique in a diverse ptosis patient cohort.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified brow suspension using 4-0 Supramid suture was performed.
    • The technique involved a single skin incision.
    • Applied to 25 eyes across 15 patients with various ptosis types.

    Main Results:

    • Successful ptosis correction was achieved using the described technique.

  • The method proved effective for congenital, mechanical, and Marcus Gunn phenomenon-associated ptosis.
  • No specialized instruments like Reese ptosis knife or Wright needle were necessary.

    • Conclusions:

    • This modified brow suspension offers a simple and effective surgical solution for ptosis.
    • The technique's reliance on standard materials and minimal incisions enhances its practicality.
    • It presents a viable alternative for ptosis correction, particularly in resource-limited settings.
