This book is based primarily on the author’s clinical experience and therefore has its limitations. The author does not claim that his methods are the best, but hopes that the shortcomings of this work may be complemented through the insights and feedback of others.

Rather than providing a comprehensive overview of all eyelid surgical techniques, this book focuses on points from the author’s experience that have not been sufficiently addressed elsewhere, areas of differing opinion, aspects requiring special emphasis, and issues prone to complications. Techniques with which the author has limited experience, even if considered effective, have been omitted. Some explanations are repeated intentionally, as the concepts and mechanisms of eyelid surgery recur throughout multiple stages of the procedure.
