• Multiple surgical methods were performed to correct the blepharoptosis. However, the recurrence of blepharoptosis is not uncommon in clinical practice. The Temporal-Fasciae-Complex Sheet (TFC sheet) was an ideal autologous material in correcting the severe blepharoptosis. In the present retrospected study, we introduced our experience in the correction of severe recurrent blepharoptosis with the technique of TFC sheet suspension, and describe the follow-up results to illustrate its effectiveness and practicality. A total of 16 patients (23 eyes) with severe recurrent blepharoptosis were enrolled in this study. All the patients were performed with temporal-fasciae-complex sheet suspension surgeries for revision> 12 months after the primary surgeries by the same treatment group. The margin-to-reflex distance 1 (MRD1), correction effect, and eyelid symmetry were used to evaluate clinical outcomes. 19 eyelids (82.6%) showed good correction results, and 5 eyelids (21.7%) showed fair correction results. The average value of preoperative-MRD1(pre-MRD1) was − 0.17 ± 0.97, and the average value of postoperative-MRD1(post-MRD1) was 4.01 ± 1.24. There was a statistically significant difference between pre-MRD1 and post-MRD1 (p < 0.0001). Good symmetry was observed in 13 patients (81.3%). All patients enrolled were satisfied with the surgical results. The Temporal-Fasciae-Complex Sheet Suspension is an effective and safe method for correcting the recurrent blepharoptosis.
