Reconstructive upper lid blepharoplasty.

Abstract

Cosmetic upper eyelid blepharoplasty is not a procedure comprising skin and fat resection only. Efficient and effective functional repair of the upper lid requires brow stabilization or elevation, levator aponeurotic repair, lacrimal gland suspension, and cutaneous laser resurfacing when necessary.

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.
