Plast Reconstr Surg. 1977 Jun;59(6):831-4. doi: 10.1097/00006534-197706000-00007.

Abstract

Fixation of the orbicularis muscle to the levator muscle in an upper blepharoplasty can create a higher supratarsal fold in selected caucasians. The technique that I introduced two years ago has been refined to eliminate one of the major problems (postoperative morbidity).
