In a text intended to be useful to reconstructive as well as cosmetic surgeons and practitioners in related disciples, Dr. Spinelli (plastic surgery, Weill Medical College of Cornell U.) provides a well-illustrated reference on upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty as well as other types of reconstructive and aesthetic surgery of the periocular region. Following introductory chapters on facial anatomy and eyelid pathophysiology, this ophthalmologist offers pearls of wisdom on various techniques--including their pitfalls. A final chapter contributed by New York colleagues addresses complications in this surgical specialty area.
