Summary

Upper lid blepharoplasty is not just about removing excess skin and fat. Achieving a satisfactory functional and aesthetic result after upper lid blepharoplasty can only be attained by understanding the anatomical changes that are responsible for the objectionable features causing symptoms, and by understanding how those features are addressed to leave a more youthful and normally functioning upper eyelid.
