Simultaneous Double Eyelid Blepharoplasty and Blepharoptosis Correction With Levator Aponeurosis Plication Technique

“…These techniques involve resection of normal structures and may lead to loss of upper eyelid stability, abnormal eyelid contour, and increase of infection and hematoma risk. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Because the levator aponeurosis plication technique was described by Eversbusch 12 and Jones et al, 13 the levator aponeurosis plication for correction of blepharoptosis has attracted extensive attention of plastic surgeons. Unlike the levator aponeurosis resection, the levator aponeurosis plication does not involve resection of normal structures.…”

“…Currently, some techniques have been applied to double eyelid blepharoplasty to correct ptosis, such as Müller's muscle resection, tarsus resection, and levator aponeurosis resection. These techniques involve resection of normal structures and may lead to loss of upper eyelid stability, abnormal eyelid contour, and increase of infection and hematoma risk 4–11 . Because the levator aponeurosis plication technique was described by Eversbusch 12 and Jones et al, 13 the levator aponeurosis plication for correction of blepharoptosis has attracted extensive attention of plastic surgeons.…”
