Long-term Functional and Cosmetic Outcomes after Frontalis Suspension Using Autogenous Fascia Lata for Pediatric Congenital Ptosis
Ophthalmology, 07/16/09

Yoon JS et al. - The use of fascia lata autografts for pediatric congenital ptosis resulted in high functional success rates in both the short-term and long-term. In contrast, whereas cosmetic success rates were high in the short-term, they decreased by 6 months after surgery. This deterioration in cosmetic outcome was the result of gradual elevation of lid height, medial inversion of eyelashes, and poor lid creases, possibly resulting from contracture of the grafted fascia lata and the anatomic characteristics of Asian eyelids.
