Surgical and Surface Periorbital Anatomy

This chapter provides a detailed overview of the surgical and surface anatomy of the periorbital region, emphasizing its clinical significance in oculoplastic procedures. It explores the intricate bony structures forming the orbit and the complex arrangement of muscles and discusses their roles in both function and aesthetic outcomes. Special attention is given to the neurovascular supply and innervation, highlighting critical landmarks such as the supraorbital notch, inferior and superior orbital rims, and the implications for procedures like blepharoplasty and brow lifts. Additionally, the chapter reviews the anatomical variations that influence surgical approaches and potential complications, underscoring the necessity of a robust anatomical foundation for safe and effective periorbital surgery.
