Many techniques have been developed for the correction of eyelid ptosis. A new tarsal plate resection technique is described for use in cases of minimal ptosis with fair to good levator function. The procedure involves a horizontal lenticular excision of the tarsal plate, placed so that equal amounts of tarsus remain above and below the excision. The height of the excision is equal to the amount of ptosis correction desired, as determined in the preoperative examination. This precision in surgical correction is the chief advantage of the procedure. The technique also spares Müller's muscle, thus retaining the lid-elevating action of that muscle. Good results have been achieved in 6 patients, some showing excellent results after nine years.
