The operative procedure was resection of the levator muscle and its aponeurosis through an anterior approach. Fifty-five percent of the patients with slight ptosis were improved, with the eyelid having a normal position. All the patients with moderate ptosis were improved--half to a normal eyelid position, and half with a residual slight ptosis. All but one patient with severe ptosis were improved, and half of these to a normal eyelid position.
