title: Baggy lids:a classification and newer aspects of treatment to avoid complications.
abstract: A clinical classification of baggy lids is presented to allow for categorization of existing deformities and their subsequent surgical correction. Standard photographic documentation is suggested for impartial evaluation of the selected surgical procedure. A technique in the placement of skin incisions and their modifications, based on position and degree of skin excess, is outlined and recommendations directed toward avoidance of complications are proposed.
