Q&A on mandibular transient syndrome

Q: Can mandibular transient syndrome, where the right eyelid droops and opens and closes with the mouth, be treated surgically? Description:From birth to now 22 years old, my parents did not pay attention to it when I was a child. When I grew up, I went to the hospital, but the local doctor didn’t understand what was going on. My right eyelid was drooping, and I couldn’t control it. A: Because of the mild degree of ptosis, it is possible to surgically elevate the upper eyelid slightly, but it is not recommended to do an interruption of the jaw-transient contact because this procedure is highly damaging and the problem of incomplete postoperative eye closure is more serious. Q: Does surgical elevation of the upper lid require an incision from the outside? Will there be scars right underneath? Can’t I treat the symptom of one opening and one closing? This is the most distressing thing! A: If you want to lift the one-sided problem, you have to accept the more obvious problem of incomplete eye closure, and surgery has both pros and cons. Q: After the surgery will be under the scar or greater trauma? A: The problem of leaving scars, usually the scars are not very obvious, but the other disadvantages mentioned earlier may also bother you. The jaw transient linkage problem is more obvious when the eyes look down, so when looking down you can properly lower your head to reduce the degree of eyelids down, so to speak, a behavior compensation, you try it!
