Dissection of left orbit from an anterior approach
Muscle fibers near medial angle of eyelids
Note that no fibers attach to the anterior surface of the medial palpebral ligament.

- Medial palpebral ligament
- Angular head of levator labii superioris muscle (cut across)
- Frontal nerve
- Corrugator supercilii muscle
- Supratrochlear nerve
- Orbital septum (note its downward extension deep to the orbicularis muscle toward an attachment on the posterior lacrimal crest)
