Zusammenfassung

Die Möglichkeit, mit Hilfe von Botulinumtoxin-A selektiv Muskeln für eine definierte Zeit zu lähmen bzw. zu schwächen, kann auch an den Augenlidhebern sinnvoll eingesetzt werden. Es entsteht eine protektive Ptosis. Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden die möglichen Einsatzgebiete diskutiert und insbesondere die praktische Durchführung erläutert. Die sichere und effektive Anwendung wird dargestellt und Ergebnisse werden vorgestellt.

Abstract

Selective muscles can be paralysed or weakened for a limited time period using botulinum toxin type A. The upper eyelid muscles can be a target, leading to a temporary protective ptosis. In this report we discuss indications for this application, describe how to perform the injection, and present results. The procedure is safe and effective.
