Abstract
Upper blepharoplasty is one of the more common facial plastic procedures. The upper
lid and brow complex are managed together. Whether upper blepharoplasty is performed
for medical or cosmetic reasons, the aim is to improve appearance while retaining
natural shape and maintaining (or improving) function. For optimal results, it is
important to understand relevant eyelid anatomy and the concept of maintaining youthful
volume and position of the eyelid brow orbit complex. Management of patient expectations,
meticulous planning, and a degree of surgical finesse all contribute to the desired
outcome. The article will focus on the assessment, techniques, and complications of
upper blepharoplasty, which involve management of the skin, orbicularis oculi, preaponeurotic
fat, levator aponeurosis and muscle as related to concomitant ptosis, and lateral
brow complex via transblepharoplasty (internal) brow lift and fixation.
