Upper blepharoplasty

Abstract

The goal of upper blepharoplasty is to create an aesthetically pleasing upper lid and brow complex. When evaluating the potential blepharoplasty patient, it is important to determine whether or not there is also a ptosis component in the eyelid examination, and if so, whether or not this will be addressed during the blepharoplasty surgery. The superior blepharoplasty technique is described and possible complications discussed. Upper blepharoplasty can be a highly rewarding procedure. It is critical to understand the relevant eyelid anatomy.
