Abstract: Palpebral ptosis is the dropping of the upper eyelid and is one of the most common oculoplastic problems.This anomalous position of the eyelid is usually caused by a dysfunction of the lifting muscle, and can affect both adults and children.In the most serious cases, it can affect the visual axis by blocking the pupil and limiting or even totally preventing vision.The surgery treatment of palpebral ptosis is usually frontalis suspension allows to improve the vision field by raising the eyelid again while improving the physical appearance of the affected person by improving the look.We conducted a retrospective study on the anatomical and functional results of ptosis surgery using a silicone probe in 18 patients operated on in our establishment.The aim of this work was to evaluate the anatomical and functional results of the use of silicone probes in the frontal suspension and to highlight the advantages of silicone in this indication.
