    TLDR The surgery for severe congenital ptosis in children is safe and effective, with good long-term results.
    This study evaluated the long-term outcomes of frontalis suspension surgery using autogenous temporal fascia or fascia lata in 12 children with severe congenital ptosis. With an average follow-up of 8 years, 11 children achieved good or excellent functional and aesthetic results, and there were no cases of recurrence or overcorrection. The procedure was found to be safe and effective, making it the preferred technique for treating severe congenital ptosis in young children.
