title: [The significance of fascial tissue of the upper eyelid in double eyelidplasty].
abstract: The anatomical structure of fascial tissue of the upper eyelid is described in this article. It is emphasized that removing redundant fascial tissue is an important procedure in the double-eyelid operation of the upper eyelid. This is especially true for patients with baggy deformities or blepharochalasis. Based on this principle, 654 cases of double eyelidplasty were performed from 1990 to 1993 with satisfactory results revealed by postoperative follow-up of 1 month to 3 years.
