    • Abstract:
      Since 2005 we have treated many older patients with upper blepharochalasis but no obvious aponeurotic ptosis by infraeyebrow excision of skin and orbicular muscle with tucking of the orbital septum. Thirty-five patients (70 lids) were studied, age range 61-80 years (mean 68). There were 6 men and 29 women, who were followed up for 3 months to 2 years (mean 7 months). All patients reported improvement in the upper visual fields and lessening of headaches and neck stiffness. The lateral drooping of the lid also improved, and the crease was more clearly defined than before the operation. There were no serious complications. We conclude that infraeyebrow blepharoplasty with tucking of the orbital septum is a simple and effective treatment for blepharochalasis in older East Asian patients.
