Frontalis Sling 9/17/18

I often get emails inquiring about my son's appearance post-surgery. I'm posting this photo today because it is a good representation how his eyebrow muscle lifts his eyelid (see his left eye).  So, I thought this photo might be helpful for those who are contemplating or facing frontalis sling surgery. Please let me know if you have any questions. 

Update 8.17.18

Just an update on this little man....all is well. His lid is not dropping more than it has in the past. His vision seems good. He is able to intentionally raise his eyelid to a more symmetrical position with his other eye if desired (for a photo, for example). His eyelids are not symmetrical regularly, but this doesn’t effect him in any way. He is occasionally asked “what’s wrong with your eye” or told “ you look really sleepy”, but these types of questions and comments don’t phase us anymore. We’ll visit his eye specialist next summer, but until then....all is well.
