Abstract

In permanence, no technique for fixing ciliary elevation in frontoplasty has conclusively proved to be the best. They have been proposed with suture or screws trying to make the results last. The experience with these two methods is shown, with a follow-up of twelve months. Materials and methods: Frontoplasty was performed in 17 patients with ciliary elevation in a period of one year with follow-up to three months in its entirety and twelve in three of them. Fixation with screws was used in seven, nine with suture and one did not use fixation material. Prospective descriptive method of case series with measurements by standardized photogrammetry. Results: none had recurrence of ciliary ptosis and all reported satisfaction with the result. Conclusions: in the twelve-month follow-up there were no recurrences or complications. The methodological characteristics of the study do not allow for recommendations, but they do create the basis for long-term follow-up with a greater number of patients.
