Abstract

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgeries and the skills and techniques for this surgery have evolved over time. Upper blepharoplasty can be divided into two main: incisional technique and non-incisional technique (suture ligation), each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. With the desire to improve and combine the advantages and overcome the disadvantages of the two techniques of incisional and non-incisional technique, authors around the world have researched combining incisional and non-incisional methods, giving good results. In this article, we present three cases of upper eyelid blepharoplasty using the suture ligation technique combined with excess skin and fat removal with good results, natural-looking eyelids with symmetry in the desired position, and few side effects.
