Evaluation of the eyebrow position after external Müller's muscle tucking—a new technique for ptosis repair

Eyebrow descent commonly occurs after ptosis repair or blepharoplasty surgery. The procedures used to correct acquired blepharoptosis are primarily classified into four groups. These procedures target the levator aponeurosis, Müller's muscle, both the aponeurosis and Müller's muscle, or the frontalis muscle. In this study, we used a new technique called external Müller's muscle tucking (EMMT) on 51 patients (94 eyelids), which targets the Müller's muscle for involutional blepharoptosis. The patients were assessed by means of a comparative analysis using pre- and postoperative digital photographs.
