Blepharoplasty is an operation to modify the contour and configuration of the eyelids in order to restore a more youthful\r\nappearance. The surgery involves removing redundant skin, fat, and muscle. In addition, supporting structures such as canthal\r\ntendons are tightened. Other conditions such as ptosis, brow ptosis, entropion, ectropion, or eyelid retraction may also need to\r\nbe corrected at the time a blepharoplasty is performed to ensure the best functional and aesthetic result. Due to the complexity\r\nand intricate nature of eyelid anatomy, complications do exist. In addition to a thorough pre operative assessment and meticulous\r\nsurgical planning, understanding the etiology of complications is key to prevention. Finally, management of complications is just\r\nas important as surgical technique.
