Contemporary Management of the Periocular Area

AbstractPurpose of ReviewTo provide the reader with an overview of contemporary management of the periocular area.Recent FindingsThere are various surgical and non-surgical techniques for periocular rejuvenation, with a growing number of minimally invasive approaches. Surgical interventions include blepharoplasty, ptosis repair, browpexy, brow lift, and autologous fat grafting. Non-surgical periorbital rejuvenation techniques include botulinum toxin type A, soft tissue fillers, ablative laser resurfacing, and platelet-rich plasma. Recent surgical techniques focus on volume preservation and enhancement, such as fat repositioning or grafting, selective resection of the orbicularis oculi muscle, and careful skin removal.SummaryImproved understanding of the pathophysiology of the aging face is driving recent periorbital rejuvenation techniques toward volume preservation and enhancement.
