Abstract: | The article describes an enhanced frontalis sling procedure in the management of blepharoptosis with poor or no levator function. This modified method were used in the care of three patients and based on the principal of two-point fixation of the graft material that was prepared from solvent-dehydrated cadaveric fascia lata onto the frontalis muscle. After more than 1 year of follow-up, no recurrence was noted. With no extra incision over the skin, this surgical approach could be useful in the correction of difficult ptosis cases. |
