[Blepharoplasty].
BACKGROUND
We report a study of satisfaction index of 50 patients operated of blepharoplasty without complications.


METHODS
After a reminder of the anatomy of ageing palpebral and periorbital area, we describe the surgical techniques used to carry out the interventions according to the preoperative cosmetic assessment. The material used is the CO2 laser in continuous mode or the radio frequency in cut-coagulation mode.


RESULTS
In 88% of cases, the results correspond to aesthetic expectations of the patients. Other criteria of satisfaction are detailed (treatment of the associated wrinkles, fear of changing of the glance).


CONCLUSIONS
The plastic surgery of the eyelids and the glance is very valorizing for the surgeon. Patients' satisfaction and recognition are in general excellent. This is often the first step in the world of anti-age medicine and surgery.
