Ptosis Correction Side Effects and Complications (feat. Long-term Progress, Conjoint Fascial Sheath Surgery)

This is the long-term progress of a patient I posted about previously.

At the time of the initial visit, the patient presented with significant conjunctival exposure as shown.

One side exhibited multiple folds, difficulty opening the eye, and exposed conjunctiva.

When the area was opened during early revision surgery, it was discovered that the levator muscle (the muscle responsible for opening the eye) had been damaged. After carefully tidying up that area, the Conjoint Fascial Sheath (CFS) was utilized to correct the eye-opening function.

Approximately 2 Years Post-op

The surgery was completed successfully. While not achieving perfect symmetry, I believe the results are over 90% similar. This can be considered a very successful outcome.

The Conjoint Fascial Sheath (CFS) refers to an elastic tissue located deeper than the levator muscle. Utilizing this tissue is a surgical technique that requires a high level of difficulty and expertise. It is a procedure that should be performed by an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon.
