Infraeyebrow Blepharoplasty for Blepharochalasis of the Upper Eyelid : Its Indication and Priority

الملخص EN

Eyelid bags and blepharochalasis are the result of relaxation of lid structures like the skin, the orbicularis oculi, and mainly the orbital septum.

Therefore, this aged appearance cannot be improved sufficiently with only a skin and orbicularis oculi resection.

To improve this appearance, we use a very effective method of tucking of the orbital septum with infraeyebrow excision of the skin and the orbicularis oculi.

Between January 2005 and April 2011, 103 patients (206 lids) were treated.

There were 89 female and 14 male patients whose ages ranged from 43 to 75 years (mean = 65.2 years).

After infraeyebrow excision, blepharoplasty with tucking of the orbital septum, the concealed lid crease becomes apparent and a good rejuvenation effect is obtained in all patients.
