Abstract
Periorbital rejuvenation is a distinctly unique part of plastic surgery. There is no other area of the face that has had contributions from such a variety of well-trained specialized surgeons. The contributions of ophthalmologists, oculoplastic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons, plastic surgeons, and dermatologists have all added to our knowledge, understanding, and continued refinement of blepharoplasty, browlift surgery, midface rejuvenation, and adjunctive procedures. This chapter will describe the evolution of our modern surgical techniques and describe some of the key contributors to the field.
