The Fasanella–Servat Procedure for Ptosis

The Fasanella–Servat procedure is useful in correcting ptosis of the upper eyelid. It does so by removing conjunctiva, Müller’s muscle, and tarsus using a posterior eyelid approach. A graded algorithm provides a high success rate in patients who have ptosis with good levator muscle function. The surgery is quick and atraumatic and can be used in frail and elderly patients. The surgery can be used to correct upper eyelid contour abnormalities.
