Abstract

The use of proper instrumentation in ophthalmic plastic surgery is an essential element to successful surgical outcomes. However, the surgeon must be aware that without proper adherence to the basic surgical principles, surgical outcomes will be suboptimal. The surgeon must have an intimate knowledge of the eyelid, orbital, and facial anatomy. Furthermore, an understanding of the anatomy and the natural tissue planes allows the surgeon to surgically dissect the tissue planes as atraumatically as possible with the aid of appropriate and adequate instrumentation.
