Abstract
Cosmetic rejuvenation of the periocular area can include incisional and non-incisional procedures. Although the use of non-incisional procedures, including botulinum toxin , dermal fillers , and skin resurfacing, has gained in popularity, the oculoplastic surgeon should continue to be proficient in incisional procedures. The most common periocular incisional procedures include upper blepharoplasty , lower blepharoplasty , and browplasty . Careful preoperative evaluation is critical, and the choice of the appropriate surgery is paramount. The purpose of this chapter is to review the preoperative evaluation , operative procedures, and post-operative care for cosmetic upper blepharoplasty and browplasty .
