ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of topical fat redistribution in combination with shortening of upper eyelid levator muscle in patients with excessively wide palpebral fissure after double-eyelid operation.Methods Twenty patients with excessively wide palpebral fissure after undergoing double-eyelid operation were selected.The double-eyelid line was aesthetically re-designed,the skin or incisional scar between the original and new double-eyelid lines was excised,and the scarring adhesion among different tissues was fully isolated.The fat tissues within the orbital septum,deep orbit and anterior orbital septum combined with ROOF reconstruction were performed to block the adhesion tissues,shortening of levator muscle of the upper eyelid was equally conducted to enhance the cosmetic effect.Results Seventeen patients were satisfied with the cosmetic appearance following once double-eyelid operation.Two cases underwent twice operations due to different height between bilateral papebral fissures.One patient was unsatisfied with the cosmetic appearance.Conclusions Fat redistribution in combination with shortening of levator muscle of the upper eyelid can not only repair excessively wide palpebral fissure complicated with ptosis and upper eyelid depression,but also enhance the exposure rate of the cornea and increase the cosmetic appearance,which is consistent with contem porary aesthetic perception.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate whether the conjoint combined with fascial sheath( CFS) suspension can be used as an effective method for correction of moderate and severe ptosis. Methods Thirty-five patients (39 eyes) with moderate or severe ptosis were treated in our hospital from January 2014 to March 2017 by means of CFS suspension,frontalis suspension and shortening of levator palpebrae superior-is,and all the patients were followed up for 3～12 months. Results The CFS suspension and the other two operations appeared effective;and compared with the other two methods,the difference was statistically significant(P<0. 05). The CFS suspension for the treatment of moderate and severe ptosis with a higher positive rate(95％) and the positive rate of the other two methods was 67％. In terms of complications,the CFS suspension showed eyelid dysraphism incidence rate was exposure keratitis occurred in 85. 7％ and entropion occurrence rate of 4. 7％;with the other two methods,the surgical eyelid dysraphism occurred in 100％ and the conjunctival prolapse occurred in 5. 6％. Conclusion The CFS suspension in correction of moderate and severe ptosis has the advantages of less trauma,less complications and good correction effect.
