Abstract
- The authors operated 7 cases with severe ptosis and moderate to severe jaw-winking phenomenon, with the extirpation of the levator muscle above Whitnall's ligament on affected eye and the bilateral frontalis suspension with preserved fascia lata. Seven patients observed for up to 22.5 months have had cosmetically and functionally desirable results with disappearance of jaw-winking phenomenon.
