ABSTRACT
The authors describe myectomy at the lateral border of the orbicularis oculi muscle during blepharoplasty to attenuate periorbital wrinkles ("crow's feet"). There were no surgical, aesthetic or functional complications whit this procedure. All patients that underwent surgery presented wrinkle attenuation. Most evident results could be seen in those patients with a lesser degree of cutaneous photoaging. The author conclude that this is a safe, fast, and easy procedure, which presents good aesthetic and functional results.
