Brow suspension surgery was performed on 7 dogs with redundant facial skin folds, associated ptosis, and entropion. The surgical technique involved subcutaneous placement of polyester mesh strips to suspend the upper eyelid from the dorsal frontalis muscle and the underlying periosteum of the skull. Visual impairment associated with ptosis was resolved in all dogs at the 2 week reevaluation period. Upper eyelid position was maintained in 4 of 7 dogs available for long-term follow-up. One dog developed persistent draining tracts in the region of the implant, and removal of part of the implanted mesh was eventually required. Upper eyelid height in this dog, however, was maintained following mesh removal, probably because of fibrosis around the implant. Brow suspension is an option for surgical management of upper eyelid ptosis and entropion in dogs with redundant skin folds and avoids the need for facial skin fold excision.
对7只患有面部皮肤褶皱过多、伴有上睑下垂和睑内翻的犬进行了眉悬吊手术。手术技术包括将聚酯网带置于皮下，将上睑从额背侧肌肉和颅骨下方的骨膜悬吊起来。在2周的重新评估期，所有犬与上睑下垂相关的视力障碍均得到解决。7只可供长期随访的犬中，有4只上睑位置得以维持。1只犬在植入物区域出现持续引流道，最终需要移除部分植入的网带。然而，这只犬在移除网带后上睑高度仍得以维持，可能是因为植入物周围形成了纤维化。眉悬吊是治疗皮肤褶皱过多犬上睑下垂和睑内翻的一种手术选择，并且无需切除面部皮肤褶皱。
