Levator tucking.
Nine cases of ptosis were repaired by levator tucking. There were 4 postoperatuve complications. Tucking seems to offer no advantage over levator resection or the Fasanella-Servat procedure in the lesser degrees of ptosis. A new firmer tucking procedure is suggested for those who wish to try this technique.
