    Area of Science:

    • Oculoplastic Surgery
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Frontalis suspension is a surgical technique used to correct ptosis or brow drooping.
    • While effective, the procedure is associated with a notable rate of various complications.

    Observation:

    • This report details a specific postoperative complication following frontalis suspension.
    • The observed complication is frontalis muscle spasm.

    Findings:

    • Postoperative frontalis spasm is identified as a complication of frontalis suspension surgery.
    • This adds to the spectrum of known adverse events associated with the procedure.

    Implications:

    • Awareness of this additional complication can aid surgeons in patient counseling and management.
    • Further research may be needed to understand the incidence and treatment of frontalis spasm post-suspension.
