Abstract

An adjunctive technique for lower lid blepharoplasty is presented. This operative procedure uses the principle of anchoring the upper margin of the lower lid by suturing a triangular muscle flap from it to the lateral-superior part of the orbital rim. This more effective support for the lower lid margin permits one to excise more redundant tissue without getting an ectropion.
