Periorbital rejuvenation is a common aesthetic goal sought by patients presenting to the plastic or oculoplastic surgeon. For this reason, it is critical that the surgeon understand the functional considerations, such as preexisting blepharoptosis, which will contribute to the ultimate aesthetic outcome. This article will review the anatomy of the normal and ptotic lid and will discuss the approach to diagnosing and characterizing the type and degree of lid ptosis. High-yield surgical techniques for ptosis correction will then be described, including the indications for and steps of each procedure. Finally, the diagnosis and management of common complications that follow ptosis surgery will be discussed. Our main objective is to arm the surgeon with the preoperative and operative planning tools to successfully manage comorbid ptosis and thereby improve blepharoplasty outcomes.
