Anchor blepharoplasty
Anchor blepharoplasty refers to a specific upper eyelid surgery procedure that tightens the upper eyelid platform skin that is the skin between the upper eyelid lashes and the upper eyelid crease. This procedure specifically addresses the crepey skin that develops on the upper eyelid platform and also deals with lash ptosis, a common situation where the upper eyelid eyelashes droop down. This procedure supports the upper eyelid lashes. An anchor blepharoplasty should be part of every upper eyelid blepharoplasty. However, it is not commonly offered because very few surgeons possess the technical skill needed to execute this extremely important, but often neglected, component of upper blepharoplasty.
