[Ptosis operations with silicone suspension at the eyebrow].
In severe ptosis with minimal or absent levator muscle function the lid can be connected with the frontalis muscle by means of silicone material. In our 18 patients (21 ptotic lids) the silastic rods arranged as a double sling to Crawford gave better results than the thinner silastic tube single slings.
