The definitive resource on cutting-edge oculoplastic surgery of the upper face, eyelids, and eyebrows While an estimated 1.5 million brow and upper eyelid surgery procedures are performed worldwide each year, this book is the first published ophthalmologic text with detailed coverage focused solely on this topic.
