Floppy eyelid syndrome: a modified surgical technique.
Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery 2002 September
PURPOSE: To describe and present the results of a modified surgical technique to repair floppy eyelids.
METHODS: A case series of 5 patients who were treated with the modified technique is presented. This technique uses the relaxed skin tension lines to tighten the lids in an aesthetically minded reconstruction.
RESULTS: All patients had relief of symptoms and good cosmetic and functional results. Average follow-up was 39 months. Complications were minor and easily treated.
CONCLUSIONS: This modified surgical technique provides excellent long-term structural integrity of the wound with a potentially more acceptable camouflaged scar.
