    Ptosis can be divided into two types: congenital and acquired. Both can be unilateral or bilateral, i.e., only one upper eyelid is ptosis or both upper eyelids are ptosis. Congenital ptosis is mostly caused by congenital weakness and weakness of the levator palpebrae superioris, and can also be caused by poor congenital development of oculomotor nerves.

    The latter is often accompanied by superior rectus dysplasia. Acquired ptosis can be caused by neurological disorders, external injuries, fracture compression, scarring contractures, edema, hematomas, or tumors.

    1. Ptosis is divided into three types: mild, moderate and severe. Mild and moderate ptosis indicates some function of the levator palpebrae superioris; However, if it is on one side, it will appear that one eye is large and the other eye is small, which is also very unsightly. Severe ptosis indicates that the levator muscle is completely out of function, and the patient can barely open his eyes, which is not only ugly in appearance, but also seriously affects study, work and speech.

    2. Key points for the success of ptosis correction.

    1. Choose a good surgical method: frontalis flap insertion downward suspension, suitable for any type of ptosis, especially for patients with severe ptosis, but the patient's frontalis muscle should be functional. Mild to moderate ptosis can be corrected with levator levator palpebrae shortening.

    2 Adjust the height of the palpebral fissure: No matter which method is used to correct ptosis, the height of the palpebral fissure should be adjusted. If it is too wide, the postoperative exposure keratitis is severe, and if it is too narrow, the correction effect is not satisfactory.

    3 When the frontalis flap is shifted down and suspended, the entire frontalis flap (including the part that is transferred to the upper eyelid) retains good contractile function, which is the basis for the success of the operation.

    4. The fixed position of the tarsal plate should be appropriate: no matter which method is used, the position of the three points fixed on the tarsal plate should be appropriate, if the midline point is too low, the upper eyelid will be lifted too much, and the "triangular eye" will be formed if the midline point is too low, and the upper eyelid will be lifted too much, and the ptosis correction will not be satisfactory.

    5 After unilateral ptosis is corrected, the unaffected side should be made into a double eyelid so that both sides are basically symmetrical.

    6. Before the operation, the patient should be carefully examined and made a differential diagnosis. Choosing the appropriate surgical approach.
