Abstract EN
Blepharoplasty is an operation to modify the contour and configuration of the eyelids in order to restore a more youthful appearance.
The surgery involves removing redundant skin, fat, and muscle.
In addition, supporting structures such as canthal tendons are tightened.
Other conditions such as ptosis, brow ptosis, entropion, ectropion, or eyelid retraction may also need to be corrected at the time a blepharoplasty is performed to ensure the best functional and aesthetic result.
Due to the complexity and intricate nature of eyelid anatomy, complications do exist.
In addition to a thorough pre operative assessment and meticulous surgical planning, understanding the etiology of complications is key to prevention.
Finally, management of complications is just as important as surgical technique.
