Abstract
Comprehensive rejuvenation of the periorbital region commonly involves management
of the brow, as well as the upper and lower eyelids. Browlifting, upper and lower
blepharoplasty, fat transfer, and neuromodulators are frequently utilized with excellent
results. However, surgery in this region can be fraught with potential complications
ranging from a poor cosmetic outcome to orbital hematoma and vision loss. Although
avoidance of complications is preferred, it is incumbent on the surgeon to have a
detailed understanding of the pathophysiology, prevention, and management of these
complications. The authors examine the more common complications of periorbital surgery.
