Advanced rejuvenative upper blepharoplasty: enhancing aesthetics of the upper periorbita.
The surgical approach to rejuvenation of the periorbita continues to evolve with the application of procedures that are safe and effective with a greater sensitivity of aesthetics. Most of the topics in the recent literature discuss improvements with techniques relating to the lower eyelid and midface. Improved surgical techniques of the upper periorbita have been mostly limited to advances in brow lifting. The most common and traditional approach to upper blepharoplasty has remained essentially unchanged and has not considered, to the same degree as in the lower periorbita, the actual changes that occur with age or more accurate surgical approaches toward rejuvenation. The author presents an overview of his personal view of the concepts relating to the aging upper periorbita and discusses his experiences with this procedure.
