Abstract

Blepharoplasty is one of the most common performed procedures in cosmetic surgery.

By way of a muscle resection can the status of an older arise, which is characterised by thinner soft tissue covering, and increasing skeletonisation, depening of the supratarsal fold, hollowing and unnatural operated look.
