Algorithm-Based Levator Aponeurectomy —Reply
In Reply We thank Innocenti et al for their comment on our article. Although we do agree that long-term follow-up is necessary to establish the longevity of each procedure, there is no consensus in the literature regarding the necessary minimum follow-up time for upper-eyelid ptosis repair procedures. Several prior published reports of ptosis repair techniques have had similar or less follow-up time compared with our study. In addition, Doxanas did not notice late recurrences of ptosis at 3 or more years after surgery. Frueh et al suggested that late recurrences may be related to the use of dissolvable sutures to repair or...

Algorithm-Based Levator Aponeurectomy
To the Editor We read with great interest the article titled “Role of algorithm-based levator aponeurectomy in small-incision external ptosis surgery for involutional ptosis” by Repp et al. The authors clearly described a new surgical algorithm for treatment of involutional ptosis considering the biomechanical property of the superior levator complex. Apo neurotic ptosis is the most common type of acquired ptosis, resulting from involutional changes of the levator aponeurosis as a consequence of its gradual stretching or attenuation of its strength. We congratulate Repp et al for the new technique proposed to control t...

Suturing Technique for the Correction of the Obtuse Nasolabial Angle —Reply
In Reply We thank Drs D ’Ascanio and Piazza for pointing us in the direction of the history of techniques dealing with the obtuse nasolabial angle. We had not found these articles in our literature search because of their early year of publication. Nevertheless, it is very interesting to read that a similar technique was already described in 1943 by Aufricht and republished by Daley in 1944. Furthermore, it is pleasing to know that that technique is successfully being used by the associates of “Valerio Micheli-Pellegrini” Study Center. First, it shows us the relevance of the described problem, and second, the t enabi...
