Ptosis is the abnormally low position of the upper eye lid, sometimes known as "lazy eye". If left untreated in infants it can impair the development of vision, and in adults it may be an indicator of muscle weakness, endocrine disease, cancer or poisoning. This comprehensive text and atlas offers ophthalmologists in practise and in training complete coverage of the causes, diagnosis, evaluation and surgical interventions available to remedy this condition. Presented in ten chapters from anatomy and differential diagnoses to surgical interventions, this book shows the latest surgical techniques firstly through line drawings before moving to clinical photographs of the techniques. The book also covers the surgical management of other associated conditions i.e. telecanthus, epicanthus, and ectropion that may need to be managed in conjunction with Ptosis and contains an invaluable list of drugs reported to induce Ptosis and syndromes and diseases associated with the condition.

A Manual of Systematic Eyelid Surgery, Third Edition delivers clear, step-by-step descriptions and detailed line diagrams depicting many of the most commonly performed eyelid surgery procedures which the author finds most useful, including the newest aesthetic techniques.

This new, full-color atlas features practical guidance on the management of a full range of aesthetic eyelid disorders. Examining both functional and cosmetic issues, it helps readers select the most appropriate management strategies and to offer their patients the best possible outcomes. Over 250 color images, including 100 exquisite original illustrations, show readers precisely how to perform the techniques described.

Traditionally, professional medical and surgical society meetings, journals, and texts are single-specialty driven to accommodate specific specialists with information most important to them. A consequence of this structure is that it can create an unintentional and artificial barrier to sharing knowledge that can benefit patient outcomes. Cosmetic and reconstructive surgeons, more than ever, are seeking to know what other specialists are doing. This publication, the first of a series, focuses on the brow and upper eyelid rejuvenation and presents varied and complementary techniques from the core specialties of Plastic surgery, Oculoplastic surgery, Facial plastic surgery, and Dermatology to address all aspects of rejuvenation procedures of the upper face. Surgical and non-invasive techniques are presented concisely, focusing on time-tested as well as novel procedures. The most talented and accomplished subspecialists in their respective fields provide insights into such topics as Preoperative Evaluation for the Upper Eyelid and Brow; Aesthetic Enhancements in Upper Blepharoplasty; Asian Upper Lid Blepharoplasty; Prevention and Intraoperative Management of Blepharoplasty Complications; Ptosis Repair in Aesthetic Blepharoplasty; Adjunctive Fat Grafting of the Brow/Upper Lid; The Open Brow Lift; Adjunctive Skin Care of the Brow and Upper Lid; among many others. Specific techniques, Patient perspective and goals, and clear anatomic descriptions are presented with each procedure, with several offering technique videos. Guest editors Babak Azizzadeh and Guy Massry strongly believe that, with more and varied practitioners with different training taking on cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries or procedures, transparency of information is essential in order to expose the best information to all practitioners of this art and science.

Benefit from the keen insights and expert knowledge of Clinton McCord Jr., MD, and Mark Codner, MD, as they share their vast experience in treating aesthetic and reconstructive problems of the eyelids and periorbital area in this master work. No other book provides this depth of experience with an oculoplastic surgeon and a plastic surgeon pooling their talents and their unique insights to offer readers the advantage of their combined expertise. The result is a remarkable two-volume clinical work that provides comprehensive guidance for solving both common and rare problems encountered in treating eyelid and periorbital conditions. It is destined to find a valued place in the libraries of young and experienced surgeons alike. Comprehensive Coverage This two-volume, four-DVD combination covers it all—from basic anatomy to the latest refinements and advances in technique. Divided into three parts, the book begins with fundamentals and includes four significant chapters: anatomy; eyelid function, innervation, and biomechanics; basic principles; and tissue grafts. These initial chapters provide an important foundation for planning aesthetic and reconstructive surgical interventions and include essential information on eyelid physiology, acquiring donor tissues for use in eyelid surgery, and basic suturing and flap techniques. Part II focuses on aesthetic surgery of the eyelid and periorbital area. It includes the range of procedures needed for an aesthetic practice, including brow lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty, midface lift, Asian blepharoplasty, and treatment of aesthetic complications. The final two chapters in this section discuss the adjunctive use of tissue fillers, botox, and fat grafting for enhancing the results of aesthetic procedures in this anatomic area. The authors are assisted in this section by select contributions by Dr. William Chen (Asian Blepharoplasty), Dr. Foad Nahai (Transpalpebral Blepharoplasty), Drs. Roderick Hester and Kristin Boehm (Fat Grafting) and Mary Popp, RN (Botox and Injectable Fillers). The final part is devoted to reconstructive surgery and includes a comprehensive approach to ptosis surgery, upper and lower eyelid reconstruction, entropion and ectropion reconstruction; it also covers special topics such as surgery for facial paralysis, malignant eyelid tumors, eyelid trauma, Graves’ disease, and treating pediatric patients. Other important topics include variations in canthal anchoring and the use of spacer materials. An Invaluable Resource Beautiful four-color artwork and photographs provide step-by-step descriptions of each surgical procedure. These volumes are filled with tips and tricks, clinical nuances, and personal insights for improving your results and addressing surgical challenges. The Ideal Print/Video Combination This book is a virtual gold mine of information, supplemented by more than 45 video clips offering more than five hours of descriptive surgical video for standard aesthetic and reconstructive procedures along with alternative approaches. This video footage is contained on multiple DVDs that accompany these volumes. To aid the reader, the video segments are keyed into the text and are also included in the table of contents. Therefore, when reading about different surgical techniques, the reader is able to supplement the written word by viewing a dynamic demonstration of the procedure. This duality is enormously helpful in explaining the subtle nuances of different operations. This invaluable book will become a treasured part of your library and a trusted resource that you will refer to time and again.

A text that contains detailed descriptions and bandw illustrations of the eyelid surgical procedures that are used most frequently by the authors (an oculoplastic surgeon abetted by two plastic surgeons). Some of the procedures described are "time honored" but have been modified. Others are new, and although routinely used for a period of time, have not been previously published. Because of the inclusion of introductory chapters on anatomy and basic surgical techniques, detailed discussions of problem evaluation and management, and the presentation of a broad scope of surgical procedures, the text is suitable for both entry-level and experienced surgeons.
