[Ptosis surgery: shortening the levator aponeurosis of Müller's muscle and the tarsus using an anterior approach].
In cases of moderate congenital ptosis, better lid elevation can be achieved by resection of the levator muscle through a skin incision, combined with tarsectomy and shortening of the superior tarsal muscle. The function of the levator muscle can thus be fully exploited.
