Blepharoplasty in the patient with exophthalmos.
The plastic surgeon performing blepharoplasty should maintain a high degree of surveillance for the presence of exophthalmos. Exophthalmos may be masked by the presence of eyelid compensations and substantial amounts of eyelid fat. The surgeon should know how to detect the condition and measure its extent.
