A modified split-level lid resection corrects blepharoptosis, improving eyelid symmetry and reducing deformities. This surgical modification offers better aesthetic outcomes for patients with significant levator function.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oculoplastic Surgery

Background:

  • Mustardé's split-level lid resection was a common surgical approach for blepharoptosis with substantial levator function.
  • This technique, while effective, was associated with complications like eyelid margin irregularities and central peaking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a modified split-level lid resection technique for correcting blepharoptosis.
  • To address and resolve the aesthetic complications associated with the original Mustardé procedure.

Main Methods:

  • A modified split-level lid resection procedure was performed on 24 ptotic eyelids.
  • The modification involved altering the tarsal resection pattern of the original Mustardé operation.

Main Results:

  • The modified technique achieved symmetrical appearance and level eyelids in all treated cases.

  • No instances of lid margin peaking were observed at the 5-year follow-up.
  • Lid lag during down-gaze was the only persistent complication in 10 eyelids.

    • Conclusions:

    • A simple modification to the tarsal resection pattern effectively resolves lid margin irregularities and central peaking in split-level lid resection surgery.
    • This refined surgical approach offers improved aesthetic results for blepharoptosis correction.
