Abstract
Blepharochalasis is a distinct entity of redundant eyelids. It is characterized by a history of recurrent edema that leads to permanent changes in the eyelids. Even in the young, blepharoplasty may be indicated for psychological reasons or to relieve obstruction of vision, eyelid asthenia, and fatigue. Following surgery, recurrent edema may compromise the results or cause further eyelid changes. Effort should be made to define the etiology of the edema and correct the defect if possible.Keywords
