Abstract

The Fasanella–Servat procedure was originally described by Fasanella and Servat to correct small to medium amounts of ptosis in patients with normal levator excursion. This procedure has fallen out of favor in recent years because of complications that include contour abnormalities, corneal abrasions, and the inability to grade the resections with an accurate nomogram. A modified Fasanella–Servat procedure has been described by Samimi et al, with the goal of minimizing contour abnormalities and corneal abrasions.
