BLEPHAROPTOSIS
Blepharoptosis means that eyelid covers the iris in normal position. The patients feel hard to watch, heavy eyelid and bear headache and stiffness in their shoulders.
The appearances of the patients get older than true age. We perform operation with several methods considering the condition of patients.
Aponeurotic blepharoptosis
We perform aponeurotic advancement. We
cut a double eyelid line and restore the
adhesion between the edge of levator
aponeurosis and the edges of eyelids.
When skin and the fat of eyelids abound,
we may resect it at the same time.
Congenital blepharoptosis
We perform operation levator shortening,
fascia suspension or the check ligament
suspension method depending on a state.
Levator shortening: we cut a double eyelid
and shorten the levator muscle. Fascia suspension: We cut a double eyelid line
and above the eyebrow, transfer a fascia
between there. We often obtain the fascia
from a thigh. The check ligament
suspension method is a comparatively new
method. We cut a double eyelid line and
draw out the check ligament and fix it the
edge of the eyelid.
