title: En bloc resection in upper eyelid blepharoplasty.
abstract: Upper eyelid blepharoplasty as traditionally performed may fail to adequately debulk the eyelids especially in the middle age or older patient. A technique used by the senior author for the past 10 years is described. The en bloc resection of redundant upper eyelid tissue can be readily combined with other procedures.
