Abstract

Post-blepharoplasty lower lid retraction remains a challenging problem to treat. Traditionally, procedures to correct lower lid retraction include lateral canthal suspensions, spacer grafts, midface lifting, and frost sutures. Many of these techniques are discussed in the accompanying chapter. However, with the advent of dermal hyaluronic acid fillers, as well as autologous fat transfer, my understanding of the mechanism of lid retraction has evolved as well as my approach to treatment.
