Abstract
• An aponeurotic approach to ptosis surgery elevates the eyelid without sacrificing the elevating and supporting structures or the tear-producing glands. With this preservation of normal anatomy, reoperation by the technique described herein for the adjustment of overcorrections or undercorrections and contour abnormalities is simple to carry out in the first three weeks after surgery and has yielded good to excellent results in 32 of 34 patients.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
