by Michael Burnstine (Author), Steven Dresner (Author), David Samimi (Author), Helen Merritt (Author)
The definitive resource on cutting-edge oculoplastic surgery of the upper face, eyelids, and eyebrows
While
an estimated 1.5 million brow and upper eyelid surgery procedures are
performed worldwide each year, this book is the first published
ophthalmologic text with detailed coverage focused solely on this topic.
Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery of the Upper Face: Eyelid Ptosis, Dermatochalasis, and Eyebrow Ptosis
by distinguished oculofacial plastic surgeons and educators Michael A.
Burnstine, Steven C. Dresner, David B. Samimi, Helen A. Merritt, and an
impressive group of international experts fills a void in the
literature. The succinct, richly illustrated text covers classification,
anatomy, evaluation, and a wide spectrum of surgical approaches for
each condition. Surgical videos are included.
Organized by 7
sections and 39 chapters, the book begins with clinical assessment of
patients who present with upper eyelid and eyebrow conditions, followed
by evidenced-based treatment protocols. All procedural chapters follow a
consistent format, enabling readers to classify problems, review
surgical steps, and consider key issues associated with each condition
and corrective procedure. Mechanical, involutional, neurogenic,
myogenic, and syndromic blepharoptoses detailed in Sections 2 to 6
include etiology, diagnosis, management, and diverse state-of-the-art
resection, repair, lift, fill, and augmentation techniques.
Key Features
- Each
procedural chapter includes an introduction, risks, benefits, informed
consent, indications, relative contraindications, a preoperative
checklist, required instrumentation, a step-by-step approach for
surgeons beginning their career, and refined tips for more experienced
surgeons.
- High quality full-color operative photographs enhance
knowledge of the most salient operative steps, while before and after
photos demonstrate the evidence-based efficacy of each surgery.
- Chapters
focused on brow surgery detail a full range of surgical and nonsurgical

neuromodulators.
This is a must-have surgical
resource for ophthalmology, otolaryngology, and plastic surgery
residents and practitioners. The highly practical, reader-friendly text
facilitates greater understanding of the clinical implications of each
ophthalmic surgery approach, thereby helping surgeons achieve improved
