[Advantages of a double approach to upper blepharoplasty associated with eyelid malpositions].
During upper blepharoplasty, myocutaneous excess and fat pads are treated using an anterior approach. Eyelid malpositions such as involutional ptosis or lid retraction could be associated and should be treated with associated procedures. Aponeurotic surgery on the levator muscle can make use of the same anterior approach, with the major difficulty of dosage. In cases of ptosis with a positive epinephrine test or minor muscular retraction, the Müller muscle-conjunctival surgery via a posterior approach seems to be more reproducible. Double-approach techniques are described.
