Blepharoplasty in the eyelids can restore local function and aesthetics. Techniques for performing the procedure are constantly renewing, so it is necessary understand possible complications. This article of narrative review of the literature gathered the most relevant findings on the topic to generate information about complications of eyelid blepharoplasty from different possible approaches in the procedure alone or associated with other components. The keywords “eyelid blepharoplasty” and “complications” guided the search in the Medline database.
