Eye rejuvenation and upper eyelid

The upper eyelids are certainly one of the most important areas of the face from an aesthetic point of view, despite their small size. If they are swollen and heavy due to an excess of skin and / or of fat, the look appears tired and sad. If they show a hollow aspect, with a too high positioned upper eyelid groove, the face is given an aged, if not even skeletal, appearance.

Dr. Romeo has done well to dedicate an entire volume to this particu- lar facial area proposing traditional solutions as well as little-known techniques, such as the re-shaping of the furrow by the infiltration of hyaluronic acid.

Dr. Romeo’s book has a practical approach and offers numerous examples of defects that need to be addressed in clinical practice, with common solutions described in great detail. Certainly his inte- resting observations on the different problems dealt with from an original aesthetic point of view and the corresponding therapeutic proposal through the anatomic approach are most worthwhile.

The work is richly illustrated with photographs depicting various possible defects to be found in the upper eyelids accompanied with the corresponding outcome after the procedures suggested by the author. Furthermore, the interested reader will be able to find instructions on the solutions and treatment of some reported complications.

In conclusion, I have no doubt that this new book written by Francesco Romeo will certainly have a great success among plastic surgeons.
