Ptosis and blepharoplasty surgery.
Millay DJ, Larrabee WF Jr. Millay DJ, et al. Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 1989 Feb;115(2):198-201. doi: 10.1001/archotol.1989.01860260072017. Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 1989. PMID: 2643975
Blepharoplasty of the ptotic lid, without repair of the ptosis, may result in exaggeration of the drooping eyelid postoperatively. Acquired senile ptosis is produced by dehiscence or disinsertion of the levator aponeurosis and is characterized by a high or ab …
