Clin Plast Surg. 2025 Jan;52(1):13-20. doi: 10.1016/j.cps.2024.08.003. Epub 2024 Sep 10.

Abstract

Successful lower blepharoplasties address patient-specific lower eyelid, canthal, and lid-cheek junction pathology. Various technical procedures have been described to address the lower eyelid lamellae and tarsoligamentous sling. The most appropriate procedure should be tailored for each patient in an algorithmic approach to ensure optimal esthetic outcomes and minimize risk.
