Surgical advances. A comprehensive approach to surgical rejuvenation of the eyes.

Methods to rejuvenate the eye region include shortening of the forehead, raising the brow, improving the upper eyelids by excision of blepharochalasis tissue, and reducing lower eyelid fat pads by a transconjunctival approach and at the same time elevating the stretched lateral canthus by an effective canthopexy. The risks and complications of these procedures are minimal, circumscribing the shortcomings of conventional blepharoplasty.
