my congenital ptosis got worst than before after the brow lift surgery ( sling surgery from leg muscle ). After the surgery, my left eyes (congenital ptosis) look the same as before or rather worse. I did make another appointment with doctor X in singapore, and going through my profile again. I told him my condition and stand. But he say that its brillant surgery !! The sling surgery failed, and i felt my eyelid and eyeball are heavy. need advices.
The severity of congenital ptosis is related to the amount of eyelid muscle (levator muscle) weakness. In some instances, a frontalis sling is the only surgical option. In other cases eyelid surgery not involving the eyebrow can be used to correct congenital ptosis.
When a frontalis sling procedure is performed, the surgeon must titrate the height of the eyelid during surgery. The final amount of elevation is related to the severity of the muscle weakness and pre-operative eyelid position. The surgeon must be careful to minimize the risk of post-operative lagophthalmos (inability to close the eyes) when setting the eyelid height. Since lagophthalmos can result in drying of the eye, and damage to the cornea, conservative correction of the ptosis may be performed to minimize this risk.
If the eyelids remain low following surgery, adjustment or removal and replacement of the sling is necessary.
