Levator Advancement/Resection

This procedure is often used for those with remaining levator palpebrae superioris function and can be performed via an incision or a posterior conjunctival approach. Usually under local or general anesthesia, an incision is made on the upper eyelid skin, dissected to the levator aponeurosis, which is then advanced or shortened and fixed to the tarsal plate. During the procedure, tension and double eyelid shape are finely adjusted based on the palpebral fissure height and corneal exposure. After hemostasis and irrigation, the incision is sutured and covered with ointment. Early postoperative monitoring focuses on corneal exposure, eyelid position stability, and wound bleeding, with the goal of improving eyelid position and protecting visual function. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
