BACKGROUND: @entity1736 correction with minimal eyelid scarring is a desirable outcome. The aim of this study was to describe in detail our method of @entity1736 correction transconjunctivally using buried suture method and to demonstrate its effectiveness. METHODS: From June 2012 to May 2013, we performed a @entity1736 correction transconjunctivally using buried suture method on 458 eyelids in 245 @entity1 . During this procedure, we utilized six separate threads to form multiple knots. This thread was transconjunctivally inserted into the point located above the superior tarsal margin involving the superior levator palpebral and M  ller muscles. RESULTS: A total of 409 eyelids (89%) were successfully corrected. Undercorrection was encountered in 49 eyelids (25 @entity1 ). Of the 25 @entity1 , only 16 @entity1 were dissatisfied with the undercorrection and thus underwent reoperation. Three @entity1 with asymmetric @entity1736 also underwent reoperation. Five @entity1 required reoperation to correct eyelid fold loosening, which occurred during the follow-up period. No major complications such as overcorrection, persistent @entity146 , and @entity1036 were observed. CONCLUSIONS: Using our technique, we could achieve the desired correction by accurately checking the rate of correction. We have demonstrated here excellent predictability and success rate in mild and moderate @entity1736 . We believe that a @entity1736 correction transconjunctivally using buried suture method is an effective treatment method.
