Several materials are available for this purpose. Autologous fascia lata is considered best among naturally occurring materials; however, it may not be possible to harvest fascia lata in young children. Among various synthetic materials, silicone has been used frequently and has given good results.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>This is a retrospective analysis of patients operated on from September 2008 to August 2013.

Of these 25 patients, 10 had blepharophimosis syndrome, 10 had congenital ptosis, 3 had third nerve palsy, 1 had double elevator palsy, and 1 had post-levator resection. Good cosmetic correction was achieved in 34 eyes (89.4%) after a mean follow-up of 18 months (range: 6 to 60 months). Complications observed included significant eyelid lag and lagophthalmos (5 eyes), undercorrection (4 eyes), suture granuloma (3 eyes), sling exposure at forehead incision (3 eyes), bilateral chronic eyelid edema (1 patient), and late recurrence of ptosis (1 eye).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Silicone is a safe material for frontalis suspension in patients with severe ptosis; however, recurrence, granuloma formation, sling exposure, and chronic inflammation can occur with use of silicone rod.<\/jats:p>\n            <jats:p>\n              <jats:bold>\n                [\n                <jats:italic>J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus.<\/jats:italic>\n                2015;52(2):93\u201397.]\n              <\/jats:bold>\n            <\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3928\/01913913-20150313-11","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,23]],"date-time":"2015-03-23T14:13:17Z","timestamp":1427119997000},"page":"93-97","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Results and Complications of Silicone Frontalis Sling Surgery for Ptosis"],"prefix":"10.3928","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"Rakesh Kumar","family":"Bansal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Surabhi","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2308","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_1_2_2","volume-title":"Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery: Decision Making and Techniques","author":"Della Rocca RC","year":"2012","unstructured":"Della Rocca RC, Bedrossian EH, Arthurs B.
