Lid surgery

[Guest guest]

Could anyone tell me more about 'sling surgery?' for eye lid

correction please.

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I am NOT the expert on this as I only have one child

who has BPES and was not with him during his surgery.

(He was still in Korea - before we adopted him.) But

what I do know is that they implanted silicone rods or

slings in his eyebrows that hold his eyelids open.

The doctor explained it to me as a little loop tied

from the eyebrow to the eyelid and back up to the

eyebrow. It corrected the ptosis part of BPES. You

can see pictures of him under " Eisele Family " .

Hopefully someone else will have more technical info

for you. April

April thank you for your response. Can you also tell me if this surgery has affected the ability to close his eyes properly and is blinking normal? april Eisele <aprileisele@...> wrote: Hi ,I am NOT the expert on this as I only have one childwho has BPES and was not with him during his surgery.
