Abstract

External levator resection is a ptosis procedure that can be used in both children and adults, in patients with almost any degree of levator function, and those with a negative phenylephrine test. Since a skin incision is employed, this surgical approach is easily combined with upper blepharoplasty. The surgical technique and postoperative management are described in detail.
