Conjoint fascial sheath suspension can achieve pleasing surgical efficacy and dynamic eyelid movement in the treatment of severe ptosis. In recent years, the palpebral margin incision technique has been applied for double-eyelid blepharoplasty, which is characterized by inconspicuous scarring, short convalescence, and natural-looking outcome. However, studies of the application of this technique in the treatment of ptosis are scarce. This article aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of conjoint fascial sheath suspension for treating severe blepharoptosis through palpebral margin incision. From March 2019 to January 2021, 32 patients (37 eyelids) underwent treatment with the modified technique. Preoperatively, levator muscle function and margin reflex distance 1 were documented. Correction effects, symmetry results, and complications were also evaluated postoperatively. Adequate or normal correction was achieved in 33 eyelids (89.2%), and 31 patients (96.9%) obtained good or fair symmetry results. Common complications were undercorrection and conjunctival prolapse, which were both observed in four eyelids (10.8%), followed by overcorrection and hematoma. The modified technique provides physical eyelid elevation and inconspicuous scarring and is effective for treating severe ptosis. Satisfactory functional and esthetic results could be obtained simultaneously without severe complications. This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
