[Correction of complete blepharoptosis with suspension by Frontalis aponeurosis flap].

The surgical corrective result of complete blepharoptosis is often uncertain. With suspension by Frontalis aponeurosis flap under the brow, the author treated 73 cases satisfactorily, the results conforming to Fox's criteria of a normal eyelid. The incision is made in the skin and Orbicularis oculi at the double-fold of the eyelid, and a muscle flap 2 cm wide is separated from under the Orbicularis oculi at the brow in the conjunction of Orbicularis oculi and Frontalis. The flap is fixed to the tarsus, and a strip of redundant skin 2-3 mm wide excised. The incision is closed with intermittent sutures.
