ABSTRACT
The periorbital region forms the epicenter of facial aging changes and receives highest attention from physicians and patients. The concern about visual function, clubbed with the need for hidden incisions, makes the periocular region a highly specialized surgical area, most appropriately handled by an ophthalmic plastic surgeon. The article provides an overview of cosmetic eyelid and facial surgery in the periocular region. Common aesthetic surgical procedures as well as ocular side-effects of commonly performed periocular injections are discussed from the dermatologist's point of view.

Se presenta un estudio anatómico del Sistema Aponeurótico Profundo Cérvico Facial (SAP) formado por la Cápsula Parotidea, la Aponeurosis Maseterina y la Aponeurosis Cervical Superficial. Las disecciones cérvico faciales se realizaron en seis cadáveres frescos no formolizados. La experiencia quirúrgica se basa en 76 ritidoplastías con tratamiento de SMAS Platisma, realizadas entre 1989 y enero de 1996. Se realiza una descripción de las características anatómicas del SAP y de sus relaciones con el SMAS y los ramos del Nervio Facial
