Abstract

The Müller’s muscle–conjunctival resection (MMCR) ptosis procedure is recommended for patients with blepharoptosis whose upper eyelids elevate to a normal level when 10% phenylephrine drops are applied to the upper ocular fornix. Candidates usually have minimal congenital ptosis and varying degrees of aponeurotic ptosis. The advantage over the Fasanella–Servat and external levator advancement procedures is that MMCR preserves the tarsus and produces predictable results with excellent upper eyelid contour.
