The margin-reflex distance (MRD) and the corneal staining had been evaluated at each pre- and postoperative visit. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance and t test for paired data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>MRD was absent before surgery in all cases: it ranged from \u22121 mm to \u22124 mm (-2.4\u00b10.8 mm). Immediately after surgery, it increased to 2.9\u00b10.3 mm, and then progressively reduced by 0.6 mm within the first 3 months (p=0.001); a further reduction of 0.2 mm, occurring between 3 and 12 months after surgery, was not statistically significant. After the 12-month visit, no changes in MRD were found at follow-up for any patient. Corneal staining, which was present in five patients over the first 2 postoperative weeks, recovered without sequelae. Complications occurred in three eyes: overcorrection and corneal ulcer in one case requiring removal of the silicone band, one granuloma, and one extrusion of the silicone band from the upper frontal incision.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>During the study period, the frontalis suspension with a silicone band was an effective and safe procedure.
