How Frontalis Suspension (Silicone/Fascia) is performed
This procedure is often used for those with poor levator function. Suspension materials can include silicone strips, ePTFE, or autologous fascia. Usually under local or general anesthesia, small incisions are made in the eyebrow and upper eyelid, and the material is threaded into a loop or inverted triangle structure to establish a connection between the tarsal plate and the frontalis muscle, and the tension is adjusted according to the palpebral fissure height and corneal protection needs. After fixation, suture and bandage. Postoperative monitoring focuses on eyelid closure, corneal dryness, and material position, 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.
