Upper eyelid ptosis correction by a revised tarsal resection technique.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Plastic surgeons are often asked to assist with the reconstruction of lower extremity wounds. These patients many times require free tissue transfer for coverage given paucity of soft tissue. Anecdotally, many orthopedic surgeons prefer muscle coverage--particularly in the setting of potentially infected b...
