Normal anatomical landmarks may be distorted or absent, and standard surgical techniques are frequently no longer applicable.

- Ocular surface protection and blinking mechanics
Equally important, he determines what should not be corrected, recognizing that excessive intervention can worsen both appearance and function.
Surgical planning prioritizes stability, safety, and realistic improvement rather than complete normalization.
The objective is a controlled, medically responsible correction that restores comfort, balance, and durability—often providing patients with their final revision rather than another temporary attempt.
