QMP Aesthetic Eyelid and Periorbital Surgery: Surgical Adjuncts and Pearls for Success

by Guy Massry, MD and Amy Patel, MD

Join Dr. Guy Massry, master oculoplastic surgeon, as he performs seven aesthetic eyelid surgeries in this highly educational video collection.  Dr. Massry begins each case with a descriptive surgical plan.  He then takes the viewer step-by-step through each case, inserting surgical pearls and words of wisdom gathered over a 20-year career.  Dr. Massry’s goal is to impart to the viewer what experience has taught him, so that when performing surgery on this highly delicate area, outcomes and success are enhanced and complications are minimized.

Viewers will surely benefit from fundamental concepts, such as marking and anesthetic injection techniques, to the abundant identification of relevant anatomy, to more thought-provoking ideas, such as why various surgical maneuvers or adjuncts are added.  The video is supplemented with medical illustrations and additional educational material.  Tips to avoid complications are discussed, as well as relevant terms, literature, and innovators in the field.

Procedures include:

• Upper lid blepharoplasty, brow fat pad suspension sutures, lower lid transconjunctival blepharoplasty with subperiosteal fat repositioning, closed canthal suspension, intraciliary skin excision (flap technique)
