Abstract
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is a commonly performed functional and aesthetic surgical procedure. As such, it is important for the eyelid surgeon to be familiar with the identification and treatment of the spectrum of potential postoperative complications inherent to the procedure. These complications range from annoying suture granulomas to vision-threatening orbital compartment syndrome. Some of these problems may be avoided with appropriate preoperative planning and experienced intraoperative decision making. Other complications are unpredictable, not preventable, and require management in a timely fashion. This chapter introduces the spectrum of postoperative complications related to upper eyelid blepharoplasty and reviews considerations for their prevention and management.
