In this study, we present a new technique of placing platinum weight implants between the levator aponeurosis and inner septum to decrease such complications.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods  A total of 37 patients with paralytic lagophthalmos were treated between March 2014 and January 2017 with platinum weight placement (mean follow-up, 520.1 days). After dissecting through the orbicularis oculi muscle, the tarsal plate and levator aponeurosis were exposed. The platinum weights (1.0\u20131.4 g) were fixed to the upper margin of the tarsal plate and placed underneath the orbital septum.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results  Five patients could partially close their eye after surgery. The average distance between the upper eyelid and the lower eyelid when the eyes were closed was 1.12 mm. The rest of the patients were able to close their eye completely. Three patients patient developed allergic conjunctivitis after platinum weight insertion, which was managed with medication. None of the patients complained of discomfort in the upper eyelid after surgery. Visibility or extrusion of the implant were observed in three patients.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusions  Postseptal weight placement is a safe and reproducible method in both primary and secondary upper eyelid surgery for patients with paralytic lagophthalmos. It is a feasible method for preventing implant visibility, implant exposure, and entropion. Moreover, platinum is a better implant material than gold because of its smaller size and greater thinness.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5999\/aps.2017.01599","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,17]],"date-time":"2018-05-17T08:17:28Z","timestamp":1526545048000},"page":"222-228","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5999\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Upper
