Abstract

The author's current perspective of blepharoplasty is a product of a 30-year evolution in treating the aging eyelid. A review of the literature highlighting the most recent techniques can provide the reader with state of the art thinking by many authors on the subject. Some-times, however, a single surgeon's lifetime experience with a surgical procedure also can be insightful. The article details the author's experience with blepharoplasty.

Restrictive horizontal strabismus following blepharoplasty.

PURPOSE: To report a case of horizontal diplopia after a four-lid blepharoplasty. DESIGN: Observational and interventional case report. METHODS: Analysis of the history and management of a 64-year-old man who underwent a four-lid blepharoplasty, after which he developed horizontal diplopia. RESULTS: The patient was found to have a restrictive esotropia. He underwent a recession of the left medial rectus on an adjustable suture, with recurrence of the same pattern of diplopia one month after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: The involvement of the extraocular muscles as a complication of blepharoplasty is uncommon, but when it is present, it may be very difficult to treat.
