These results with non-absorbable sutures are supported by Johnson I et al i .[1] Furthermore, our paper[2] noted that intraoperative suture adjustment for suture height has a good efficacy profile. In conclusion, we condone the use of "hang-back" sutures for suture adjustment in external ptosis surgery, if non-absorbable sutures are used. [Extracted from the article]
