Abstract
Upper blepharoplasty is one of the most commonly performed plastic surgical procedures. It can improve both form and function of a patient’s eyelids. The following chapter describes, in detail, the indications, preoperative markings, key intraoperative steps, and postoperative care of an upper blepharoplasty. This can be done in one’s office under local anesthesia, or under MAC or general anesthesia depending on comfort and preference of both the surgeon and patient.
