Eyelid Ptosis Surgery External Approach Overview - 900

Eyelid Ptosis Surgery External Approach

3d try-on

External levator advancement surgery is most commonly used when levator function is normal and the upper eyelid crease is high. In this setting, the levator muscle itself is normal, but the levator aponeurosis is stretched or disinserted, thus requiring advancement. The levator aponeurosis is approached from the outside of the eyelid through the upper eyelid crease while simultaneously removing excess eyelid skin.
