Upper lid blepharoplasty. 1977

T J Baker, and H L Gordon, and P Mosienko

We reviewed, retrospectively, our upper lid blepharoplasties to critically compare our own postoperative results after (1) conventional blepharoplasty, or (2) fixation of the levator aponeurosis to the lower margin of the orbicularis, or (3) fixation of the levator to the lower margins of the orbicularis and the skin. We found no demonstrable difference in our results with these 3 techniques. It is our opinion that the standard conventional blepharoplasty (including excision of a strip of orbicularis muscle) is preferable for use in most caucasian eyelids. The results are as good, it is simple, and it is less likely to cause problems.
