Core Tip

Core Tip: There is a significant shift in upper lid blepharoplasty towards a more conservative approach that emphasizes anatomical preservation over extensive tissue removal. This paradigm shift parallels the holistic approach of panfacial rejuvenation, focusing on volume conservation and augmentation instead of resection. The editorial discusses the findings by Miotti et al and highlights their findings.
