Patients were included if aged 30 to 100 years old and underwent upper eyelid blepharoplasty with one surgeon between 2012 and 2014. Exclusion criteria were thyroid eye disease, myasthenia gravis, myotonic dystrophy, pregnancy, blepharoptosis, prior eyelid surgery or trauma, concurrent brow surgery, and topical alpha-agonists. The following data were collected preoperatively and at postoperative months 1 and 6: age, gender, BMI, brow position, MFD, margin to crease distance (distance between eyelid margin and crease, MCD), and vertical skin distance (distance between eyelid margin and brow, VSD).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A total 322 eyelids of 164 patients underwent 208 skin excisions, 26 crease elevations, and 88 combined skin excision and crease elevation.
