Surgical correction of XXXX using a modified levator resection technique.

OBJECTIVE: This report describes our experience using a modified anterior levator resection approach in @entity1736 @entity1 and presents the results from a consecutive series of @entity1 treated with this method. DESIGN: This was a retrospective case series study. @entity1 : Forty-one @entity1 with moderate and severe @entity1736 were included. METHODS: All @entity1 underwent a modified anterior levator resection approach under local anesthesia. The procedure involved exposing Whitnall's ligament, dissecting and resecting the underlying levator muscle from Whitnall's ligament, and leaving the aponeurosis intact. All @entity1 underwent pre- and postoperative photography, and final outcomes were assessed after a minimum of 6 months. Outcome measures included pre- and post-marginal reflex distance ( @entity25796 ), symmetry of height, contour, and complications. RESULTS: Forty-one @entity1 undergoing 56 procedures were included. The mean age of the @entity1 was 15 (13-18) years. The mean postoperative @entity25796 was 3.45 mm. Thirty-four @entity1 achieved their desired lid height and contour, and 7 @entity1 had undercorrection, including 1 @entity1 with 2 mm of asymmetry, with a final success rate of 83% (34/41 @entity1 ). CONCLUSIONS: Our modified anterior levator resection approach had a high success rate and is particularly suitable for @entity1 with moderate and severe @entity1736 .
