“…48 Orbicularis denervation may occur following lower lid blepharoplasty; patients undergoing inferior transcutaneous blepharoplasty without canthal support may have lower lid malposition in up to 20%. 49 Evaluation of the lower lid with blink, particularly watching for movement of the lid medially with blink, can help provide crucial information regarding viable remaining muscle. Previous studies have suggested that a preservation of a minimum of 5 mm of pretarsal muscle is needed to prevent eyelid denervation.…”

Upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty are common procedures performed to provide a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. However, this seemingly straightforward procedure may result in lid malpositions, frustrating the patient and surgeon alike, which ultimately require further treatment. We review preoperative assessment pearls to avoid these lid malpositions, as well as options for treating any postoperative complications related to lid position. Many of the techniques discussed in this article, in addition to many other oculoplastic procedures, are available to view in Dr. Richard C. Allen's operative video library at: http://webeye.ophth.uiowa.edu/eyeforum/video/plastics/.
