In 20 patients with irreversible facial palsy, dynamic voluntary lid closure was achieved by implantation of 0.8-1.6 g gold weights in the upper lid. Because of the high rate of efficiency, low complication rate and technical simplicity, this method is recommended more often than comparable procedures (magnet or wire-spring implantation).
