| Core Tip |
We propose a methods-first framework to prevent and manage Botulinum toxin A–related eyelid ptosis. Using an evidence-mapped scoping synthesis, we derive the Levator Diffusion Risk Index to stratify diffusion risk, codify ten measurable injection safety rules (distance, plane, volume/dilution, and needle vector), and provide an evidence-graded, symptom-onset–anchored management algorithm with effect windows and contraindications. A minimum reporting checklist is included to standardize outcomes and enable prospective validation. |
