Area of Science:

  • Oculoplastic surgery
  • Facial plastic surgery

Background:

  • Lower lid blepharoplasty addresses aging concerns like dermatochalasis and pseudoherniated fat.
  • Various surgical techniques exist, each with specific indications and potential complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and evaluate the preexcision (pinch) technique for lower lid blepharoplasty.
  • To highlight the benefits of preserving the pretarsal orbicularis oculi muscle.

Main Methods:

  • A preexcision (pinch) technique was employed in over 1000 cases.
  • Skin excision is estimated by pinching, with preservation of the pretarsal orbicularis oculi muscle.
  • Focus on cases with dermatochalasis and pseudoherniated fat, excluding lateral skin redundancy.

Main Results:
