Abstract:
Aesthetically attractive eyelids typically exhibit a combination of features, including ideal eyebrow height, volume, and contour; appropriate eyelid height and shape; harmonious upper eyelid fullness; and a balanced amount of visible tarsal platform or eyelid crease show. Patients may exhibit a dysmorphic appearance or asymmetry of the upper eyelid for various reasons, either congenital or acquired. Bony and soft tissue asymmetries, variation in globe position, and innervational or mechanical defects may lead to issues warranting correction with blepharoplasty, brow surgery, and/or ptosis repair.
