The Importance of Counseling, Planning and Choosing the Proper Surgical Technique for optimal Results in the upper Face.

Abstract

The eye is an important component of facial aesthetics and blepharoplasty can play a vital role in facial harmonization and aging process. Regeneration of the periorbital area has always been a focus of plastic surgeons and especially facial surgeons. Dermatochalasis mostly found in older patients is characterized by excess eyelid skin. Hooded eyelids are the most common concern among patients interested in blepharoplasty. Blepharoplasty alone or combined with other cosmetic surgeries such as brow lifting or facial lifting or other facial and skin rejuvenation represents the best approach in these cases for optimal results. The key to a successful eyelid surgery is a careful analysis of the face, a carefully conceived surgical plan and meticulous operative technique.
