"Functional Considerations in Aesthetic Eyelid Surgery"
Background: Aesthetic eyelid surgery involves intricate techniques to improve the appearance of the periorbital region. In the presence of preoperative ptosis, lower lid laxity or malposition, prominent eyes, and xerophthalmia (dry eyes), patients are at an increased risk of developing postoperative complications such as scleral show, ectropion, corneal injury, and persistent ptosis.
Methods: The authors identify patients at increased risk for functional problems after blepharoplasty and describe detailed preoperative evaluation to identify patients who may be at increased risk prior to surgery.
Results: In order to minimize the complications rates associated with blepharoplasty, it is of paramount importance to appreciate and address these functional concerns in the approach to blepharoplasty surgery.
Conclusion: After reading this article, the participant should be able to demonstrate a systematic approach to identify high-risk blepharoplasty patients and manage functional issues in both upper and lower blepharoplasty.
