Abstract
Twelve infants with severe unilateral or bilateral congenital ptosis were surgically repaired before 1 year of age in an attempt to achieve early functional and cosmetic improvement. In all cases, a frontalis suspension using polyfilament nylon suture (Supramid Extra) was performed. Postoperatively, 10 patients achieved near normal eyelid position and all had resolution of their chin-up head posture. Two slings eventually failed, requiring repeat procedures for recurrent ptosis. Two developed signs of cellulitis that were successfully treated with oral antibiotics.
