Overview

Retrospective study reports successful eyelid repositioning in facial palsy patients, indicating a simpler alternative to open surgery.

Key Points

  • Posterior medial canthal thermoplasty restores eyelid apposition and resolves medial canthal tendon laxity in facial palsy patients.
  • Satisfactory punctum alignment was achieved in 9 of 10 patients, while all 10 individuals achieved proper lid-to-globe apposition.
  • Retrospective study of 10 patients evaluated thermoplasty combined with 6/0 Vicryl anchorage alongside ancillary eyelid procedures.
