INTRODUCTION: The treatment of choice for medium to severe @entity1736 is frontalis suspension. The aim of this study is to describe a new modified surgical technique of frontalis suspension for @entity3065 using an autogenous tendon. @entity1 AND METHODS: Frontalis sling with double parallelogram fixation using autogenous tendon was performed on 14 upper lids in 9 @entity1 . The clinical and cosmetic improvement was determined by the lid contour, lid height symmetry, and lid creases. Surgical results were compared 12 and 18 months after surgery. RESULTS: All the @entity1 presented normal opening of the eyes and correct shape of the eyelid with an improved palpebral fold. They manifested their satisfaction with surgery. The symmetry obtained in all cases was satisfactory. CONCLUSIONS: This modified technique for frontalis suspension could be a good alternative to raise the ptotic upper eyelid. The use of an autogenous tendon has long-term results.
