title: [Cosmetic lower eyelid blepharoplasties].
abstract: Between April 1988 and December 1991 42 patients underwent a bilateral lower eyelid blepharoplasty. Depending on the etiology either a skin-muscle-flap or a skin-flap technique was used. When the lid was lax, it was shortened by a wedge-resection to prevent postoperative ectropion. The results were satisfactory with either technique.
