The Pinch Blepharoplasty

Abstract

This article's raison d'etre is simple: to deliver a decidedly lucid and sanguinely compelling description of a lower eyelid surgical rejuvenation strategy. By bestowing the surgeon greater control of the lower eyelid, a more esthetic result with fewer complications can be reliably delivered. The pinch blepharoplasty does so by offering 3 unique advantages: First, it respects and preserves both esthetic and functional eyelid posture. Second, it treats the excess eyelid skin and wrinkles comprehensively. And third, it simultaneously addresses the orbital and nasojugal grooves.
