Eyelid Phenol Peel

Abstract

Deep peeling with phenol solutions has been criticized because of the hypopigmentation that usually results. The lower eyelid skin after routine blepharoplasty will retain its hyper-pigmentation and fine wrinkles. Phenol peeling of the lower eyelid will produce a complementary lightening of the skin and improvement in the wrinkling. This report explains the technique used by the author to improve blepharoplasty results.
