Abstract
The history of using brow suspension to correct blepharoptosis is reviewed. The disadvantages of earlier materials are discussed. The use of a silicone band, 0.8 mm in diameter, as the material for brow suspension is proposed. Five stab incisions are used, and the band is passed with the aid of a cerclage needle. A Watzke tube is used for fixation. Results in 12 patients have been very satisfactory.Entities:
