Frontalis suspension is a commonly used surgery that is indicated in patients with blepharoptosis and poor levator muscle function. The surgery is based on connecting the tarsal plate to the eyebrow with various sling materials. Although fascia lata is most commonly used due to its long-lasting effect and low rate of complications, it has several limitations such as difficulty of harvesting, insufficient amounts in small children, and postoperative donor-site complications. Other sling materials have overcome these limitations, but on the other hand, have been reported to be associated with other complications. In this review we focus on the different techniques and materials which are used in frontalis suspension surgeries, as well as the advantage and disadvantage of these techniques.
额肌悬吊术是一种常用于上睑下垂且提上睑肌功能不良患者的手术。该手术是通过各种吊带材料将睑板与眉毛相连。尽管阔筋膜因其持久效果和低并发症发生率而最常被使用，但它有几个局限性，如取材困难、儿童取材量不足以及术后供区并发症。其他吊带材料克服了这些局限性，但另一方面，据报道也与其他并发症有关。在这篇综述中，我们重点关注额肌悬吊手术中使用的不同技术和材料，以及这些技术的优缺点。
