If the muscle strength of the upper eyelid muscle is relatively strong, the amount of shortening of the levator muscle is
relatively small, and the eyes can be closed after surgery. If the muscle strength of the upper eyelid muscle is relatively weak before surgery, the amount of shortening of the levator muscle is relatively large, and there may be incomplete closure after surgery. If there is no closure after surgery, it is generally two to three months of rest. The eyelid motor function recovers and the eyelids can be completely closed.
