We make Use of this fact when we try to keep the lid in the properposition by means of an appropriately placed bandage (page 680); but wecan also secure a permanent effect of this kind by shortening the skin ofthe lid at the margin of the orbit in a horizontal direction, so that it becomestense and presses the lid backward. We first make an incision ab (Fig. 435)parallel to the lid and then from the extremities of the middle third of thisincision make the converging incisions ce and de downward as far as themargin of the orbit. The piece so delimited is cut out, and then the twolateral borders of the incision, after the connections have been loosened up Fig. 435 Fig. 436.
