| Abstrakt: |
When contemplating upper lid ptosis and blepharoplasty surgery, preoperative evaluation is essential so that the patient and the surgeon have similar expectations as to the final result of the surgery. Blepharoplasty and ptosis repair can be performed as a combined procedure in the adult. The procedure involves excising excess skin and underlying orbicularis muscle, and in some cases, orbital fat. The levator aponeurosis is advanced onto the tarsus and the excess levator excised. An eyelid crease is formed during closure by passing a suture through the advanced aponeurosis. |
