[Blepharoplasties. Different techniques of surgery].
The authors, reviewing their own experience of Blepharoplasty (92 cases) since ten years, discuss the principal approaches used depending on the age of the patient, the amount of adipose tissue, the lower lid tarsal and muscular laxity and the quality of the skin excess. On the lower eye lid they emphasize the interest of the transconjunctival approach in young an or coloured people and they undermine a cutaneo-muscular flap in the classical technique. On the upper eye lid, they combine the skin excision with an orbicular muscle strip and in old people with a suspension of the lateral canthus. A good choice between these different approaches avoid the rare complications (ectropion and scleral show) because blepharoplasty must be considered like a "variable geometry" operation.
