This study systematically evaluates the comprehensive impact of upper eyelid blepharoplasty on patients' quality of life, employing rigorous methodologies and standardized assessment protocols. Materials and Methods: A prospective, randomized controlled trial was conducted, involving 348 patients aged 49 to 87 years. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either continuous or intradermal sutures following upper eyelid surgery. Validated FACE-Q questionnaires were used to assess various outcomes, including early-life impact, expectations, satisfaction with eyes, overall face satisfaction, satisfaction with the outcome, psychological function, social function, and adverse effects. Results: Results indicate significant improvements in multiple domains of patient-reported outcomes following upper eyelid blepharoplasty, including satisfaction with eyes, overall face satisfaction, satisfaction with the outcome, psychological function, and social function. Notably, no significant differences were observed between suturing techniques regarding patient satisfaction and well-being. Adverse effects were minimal and improved over time. Conclusions: The study underscores the transformative nature of upper eyelid blepharoplasty in enhancing patients' quality of life, addressing both cosmetic and functional concerns. Utilizing standardized assessment tools like the FACE-Q questionnaire facilitates a comprehensive understanding of treatment outcomes and enables patient-centered care. Overall, this research contributes to the growing evidence supporting the positive impact of upper eyelid blepharoplasty on patients' well-being, emphasizing the importance of continued research and standardized assessment protocols in advancing patient care in cosmetic surgery.

Evaluation of visual field and ocular surface parameters by clinical comparison after blepharoplasty for dermatochalasis.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of upper eyelid blepharoplasty surgery on corneal topography, visual field, ocular surface, meibography, corneal biomechanics and dry eye parameters. METHODS: This prospective study included a total 80 eyes of 40 patients. Following a detailed ophthalmological examination, standardized patient satisfaction questions were posed to patients before and after upper eyelid blepharoplasty surgery. Visual field test, non-invasive break up time (NIBUT), meibography, and corneal topography parameters were analyzed and evaluated. RESULTS: The mean (+) visible areas in the visual field were found to be 46.20±24.96 preoperatively, 56.73±21.98 at the 1st postoperative month and 65.96±18.5 at the 3rd month, which were statistically significant. NIBUT values preoperatively, at 1 month and at 3 months were 11.26±4.48, 11.16±4.5 and 10.14±4.0, respectively, which were statistically significant. Meibomian gland loss rates on meibography preoperatively and postoperatively at 1 and 3 months were found to be 30.24±8.3, 29.36±8.2 and 28.22±7.7 respectively and were statistically significant. With the scoring system after blepharoplasty, patients reported improvement in their symptoms. CONCLUSION: Upper eyelid blepharoplasty surgery is predicted to increase the quality of vision. It was observed that there was a functional and cosmetic improvement in the complaints of the patients after blepharoplasty. However, blepharoplasty may cause changes in eyelid dynamics and cause dry eye syndrome.

Severe Corneal Damage After Minor Eyelid Surgery: A Case Series.

OBJECTIVES: To present three cases of serious corneal complications after seemingly minor and uncomplicated eyelid surgery. METHODS: These cases emphasize the real-world risk of corneal damage after oculoplastic surgery. RESULTS: The first case is a 46-year-old man referred to our department with a corneal perforation after bilateral blepharoplasty of both upper and lower eyelids. The second case concerns a 51-year-old woman who suffered an accidental coagulation of the cornea during the removal of upper eyelid papillomas, and the third case is a 55-year-old woman who had severe corneal thinning accompanied by visual loss after an upper lid blepharoplasty. All patients were stabilized without the need for corneal transplantation, although there were significant corneal scars and sequelae. CONCLUSIONS: Although complications after esthetic oculoplastic surgery are rare, the reported cases show that corneal damage can have a major impact on the patient's vision and quality of life. Strategies such as the use of a corneal shield can be used to mitigate these risks, but their use is debated. Nevertheless, diligent postoperative care is paramount. At the first postoperative visit, a basic visual acuity measurement should be performed. In cases where reduced vision is reported, particularly when accompanied by pain, patients should be urgently referred for specialized eye care.

Late-Onset Traumatic Corneal Conjunctival Epithelial Disorders due to Granular Formation After Cosmetic Suture Blepharoplasty.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to report conjunctival granular formation as one of the causative factors of a traumatic corneal conjunctival epithelial disorder after plastic suture blepharoplasty. METHODS: Clinical charts of 7 patients who had visited Ohshima Eye Hospital with a symptomatic corneal epithelial disorder and history of suture blepharoplasty were reviewed. Clinical evidence of conjunctival granular formations was observed in all patients at the tarsal conjunctiva facing to corneal conjunctival traumatic epithelial disorders. The desired outcome was to alleviate the disorder. The assessment included tabulating results after the placement of a soft contact lens bandage and subsequent partial tarsal plate resection of the granular formation. RESULT: Seven women (mean age 45.0 ± 10.9 years) enrolled in this study had previously undergone suture blepharoplasty (mean 18.3 ± 6.9 years before). Soft contact lens bandages relieved all of the patients' complaints immediately. After resecting the granular formation, the traumatic corneal conjunctival epithelial disorder disappeared, and no recurrence was observed after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: The conjunctival granular formation within the tarsal conjunctiva after suture blepharoplasty caused the late-onset traumatic corneal conjunctival epithelial disorder. A complete cure was obtained after resection of the granular formation at the tarsal conjunctiva. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to identify the removal of granular formations in 7 patients with late-onset traumatic corneal conjunctival disorders many years after blepharoplasty. The resection of these lesions is a promising procedure to treat late-onset ocular epithelial disorder after suture blepharoplasty.

The Efficacy of Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4) Wet Dressing in Reducing Eyelid Swelling and Bruising after Blepharoplasty: A Randomized, Controlled, and Observer-Blinded Assessment Study.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of wet dressing with 50% magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) solution on decreasing eyelid swelling and bruising after blepharoplasty. Fifty-eight patients (23 male and 35 female) who underwent bilateral blepharoplasty were enrolled in our randomized clinical trial. One side of the periorbital area (upper and lower eyelids) per patient received a wet dressing with 50% MgSO4 solution randomly, and the other side was cooled with an ice pack from the first postoperative day for two consecutive days (30 minutes per time and twice a day). The eyelid edema and ecchymosis were evaluated and classified using respective graded scales. Degrees of eyelid edema were similar after surgery in both groups (p > 0.05) and were significantly decreased with time. Compared with the cooled ones, less swelling was observed in the eyelids treated by MgSO4 wet compress on postoperative day 5 (p < 0.01). Both the incidence and area of ecchymosis were lower in the MgSO4 group than those in the cooling group (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05, respectively). Moreover, the majority of patients (39/58, 67.2%) indicated a preference for MgSO4 wet dressing over ice cooling. MgSO4 wet dressing can be conveniently applied to alleviate eyelid swelling and reduce recovery time after blepharoplasty.

Can Local Infiltration Influence Postoperative Recovery in Upper Blepharoplasty? A Case Series Study on Two Different Infiltration Methods.

Upper blepharoplasty is a common aesthetic surgery procedure which is frequently performed wide awake, under local anesthesia. However, advancements concerning the patients' perception during and after the procedure are still needed. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a new method for local anesthetic infiltration in the upper eyelid comparing it to the traditional needle injections.A prospective, randomized, and clinical trial was conducted on 20 patients who underwent upper eyelid blepharoplasty in local anesthesia. After randomization, one eyelid was infiltrated using a Nanosoft technology needle, while on the contralateral side traditional needle injections were performed. Preoperative demographics, Fitzpatrick, and SNAP test were recorded. Postoperative patients visual analog scale (VAS) scores for both infiltration methods and ecchymosis and edema were recorded.Our results showed that the mean VAS scores for perceived pain were significantly lower on the eye infiltrated with Nanosoft technology (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the rate of postoperative ecchymosis and edema were also significantly lower with Nanosoft technology (p = 0.0012 and 0 = 0.0197, respectively). All 20 patients were satisfied with outcomes, and there were no major complications or need for a revision.Our case series study suggests that Nanosoft technology may be a more effective and efficient method for the local anesthetic infiltration in upper eyelid blepharoplasty in reducing discomfort and downtime for the patient.

Effects of Midcheek Lift According to Dissection Plane and Range: An Anatomical Study.

BACKGROUND: Midcheek lift has been performed for cosmetic or reconstructive surgery of the lower eyelid. For midcheek lift through the subciliary incision, preperiosteal and subperiosteal dissections are the most often implemented, with good clinical outcomes. However, a comparative assessment of the effects of these 2 methods had not been conducted. OBJECTIVES: In this study we compared the effects of midcheek lift according to preperiosteal or subperiosteal plane and range of midfacial dissection. METHODS: Forty hemifaces of 20 fresh cadavers were dissected. One side of the hemiface underwent preperiosteal dissection, and the other side underwent subperiosteal dissection. After dissections of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 mm and all of the midcheek area from the inferior orbital rim, the length of the elevated lid-cheek junction was measured by placing upward traction on the lateral portion of the lower lid. RESULTS: In both methods, the length of the midcheek lift increased as the dissection progressed, and the length of the lift on the lateral side was greater than that on the medial side. The length of the pulled skin in the preperiosteal group was the greatest in most cases. However, in the full dissection cases, the midcheek lift length was not statistically different between the 2 surgical methods, especially on the lateral side. CONCLUSIONS: Flap elevation in lower blepharoplasty surgery can be predicted based on the surgical method and dissection range. Implementing a surgical plan that takes this into account can enhance both reconstruction and aesthetic surgery outcomes in the midcheek area.

New-Onset of Herpes Simplex Keratitis After Blepharoplasty, Case Series and Review of the Literature.

PURPOSE: To report 3 cases of new-onset herpes simplex keratitis (HSK) after uncomplicated extraocular plastic surgery and discuss potential risk factors. METHODS: This case series includes 3 patients who underwent uncomplicated blepharoplastic surgery. Within 2 weeks postoperatively, all patients reported ocular discomfort, and their ophthalmic examinations revealed corneal lesions suspicious of HSK. One case was confirmed as an active herpes infection, and the other 2 cases were clinically diagnosed with HSK. The patients were treated with oral acyclovir and followed up for up to 6 weeks. RESULTS: All patients demonstrated improvement without sequelae at follow-up visits from 5 days to 4 weeks after initiating acyclovir treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Risk factors for new-onset HSK after uncomplicated extraocular surgeries may be related to an immunocompromised state, postoperative administration of topical or periocular corticosteroids, or environmental factors such as psychological stress. Ophthalmologists, particularly plastic surgeons, should be vigilant for ocular discomfort following eyelid surgeries and consider the possibility of herpes infection. This report highlights the importance of recognizing and managing HSK in the context of extraocular plastic surgery.

Punctal Plug Granuloma After Blepharoplasty.

This case report discusses a diagnosis of foreign body granuloma resulting from a punctal plug in a patient aged 66 years with chronic dry eye and a history of blepharoplasty.

Lower Eyelid Complication After Blepharoplasty and COVID-19 Vaccination.

BACKGROUND: Following COVID-19 mass vaccination campaign, new- and unknown-related reactions have emerged. CASE REPORT: Four months after transcutaneous lower blepharoplasty and few days after the second dose of SARS-CoV-2 Pfizer mRNA vaccination, a 57-year-old man developed a bilateral palpebral ecchymosis. While the lesion healed spontaneously on the left side, the ecchymosis on the right lower lid did not regress. It presented swelling and hard consistency, clinically involving only skin layer. No alterations were revealed upon blood tests and instrumental evaluations. Histological examination showed lymphovascular hyperplasia on a probable reactive basis. The lesion was resistant to medical and surgical therapies. After 15 months, it regressed spontaneously. CONCLUSIONS: In the reported case, an evident chronological relationship exists between surgical site and vaccine reaction, while other etiopathogenetic factors were excluded. This case represents a previously undescribed condition linking postvaccination reaction and long-term surgical outcome.

Misdiagnosis and Treatment of Corneal Complications Caused by Suture Exposure After Buried-Suture Double-Eyelid Blepharoplasty.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to summarize the misdiagnosis and treatment of corneal complications associated with suture exposure in cases of buried-suture double-eyelid blepharoplasty. METHODS: This study retrospectively analyzed 14 patients with palpebral conjunctival and corneal complications due to suture exposure after buried-suture double-eyelid blepharoplasty at the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 2020 to July 2022. The patients' clinical symptoms included photophobia, lacrimation, pain, foreign body sensation, swelling of the eyelids, conjunctival hyperemia, secretion, etc. We recorded the patient's sex, age, surgical method, length of exposed suture, suture type, number of double-eyelid surgeries, surgical site, timepoint when eye discomfort occurred, misdiagnosed disease and treatment. RESULTS: Three patients were misdiagnosed with dry eye, nine patients were misdiagnosed with viral keratitis, and two patients were misdiagnosed with allergic conjunctivitis. All 14 patients had manifestations of photophobia, lacrimation, pain, foreign body sensation and conjunctival hyperemia. Eight patients had manifestations of swelling of the eyelids. Five patients had manifestations of eye secretions. There were 8 patients with corneal epithelial injuries and 6 patients with corneal ulcers. All patients underwent suture removal without further progression. Ten patients were treated with artificial tears, and 4 patients were treated with calf serum deproteinized gel after suture removal. CONCLUSION: If there is postoperative eye discomfort caused by eyelid and corneal complications in patients after buried-suture double-eyelid blepharoplasty, clinicians should carefully check whether there is suture exposure and determine the cause in a timely manner. Suture removal is the best way to treat this complication. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Intraoperative use of fibrin glue in blepharoplasty: a possible solution to reduce postoperative complication.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of intraoperative fibrin glue use on surgery for blepharoptosis. This retrospective study included patients with acquired blepharoptosis who underwent surgical correction and were followed for at least one month. Patients were classified into two groups depending on whether treated with antithrombotic agents or otherwise. All patients taking antithrombotic agents discontinued with the treatment one week prior to surgery in accordance with our clinical guidelines. Preoperative and postoperative marginal reflex distance 1(MRD1) and ecchymosis grade were evaluated and compared. The subjects were 56 patients (111 eyes) who discontinued antithrombotic agents before surgery and 59 patients (117 eyes) who had never taken antithrombotic agents. Fibrin glue was used in 13 patients (26 eyes, 23.4%) in the antithrombotic group, and 11 patients (21 eyes, 17.9%) in the non-antithrombotic group. The rate of severe ecchymosis was significantly lower in patients who used fibrin glue in the antithrombotic group at 1 week (11.5 vs 40.0%, p = 0.008). However, in non-antithrombotic group, there was no difference in the rate of severe ecchymosis according to the use of fibrin glue at 1 week (14.3 vs 30.2%, p = 0.181). In patients with a history of taking antithrombotic agents, the intraoperative use of fibrin glue is thought to be helpful as it could significantly reduce significant ecchymosis.

Minced Free Fat Graft Versus Pedicle Fat Flap to Efface Orbital Rim Hollow in Lower Blepharoplasty.

BACKGROUND: Lower eyelid fat flap repositioning during transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty (TCLB) is a widely accepted technique for preventing postoperative tear trough deformity. Its drawbacks include retraction, limited volume, transcutaneous fixation, and a complex insertion technique. The minced lower eyelid fat graft was introduced to overcome these drawbacks. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the outcome of preperiosteal pedicle fat flaps with minced free fat graft in TCLB. METHODS: Participants who underwent the pedicle fat flap procedure from April 2019 to April 2020 (Group A) and the minced free fat graft from May 2020 to May 2021 (Group B) with at least 6 months of follow-up were included. Subjective (pain, infraorbital numbness) and objective (chemosis, residual skin wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, tear trough deformity, bumps) postoperative outcomes, satisfaction (visual analogue scale score) at the last follow-up, and reoperation rates were compared. RESULTS: There were 142 participants (94% females) with a mean age of 48.4 years (range: 21-71) and a follow-up of 8.2 months (range: 6-36). There were 73 participants in Group A and 69 in Group B, with no significant differences in age (P = .6), sex (P = .7), or follow-up (P = .3). In addition to TCLB, Groups A and B had simultaneous upper eyelid and eyebrow procedures (53% vs 49%, P = .2), lateral canthal plication (77% vs 83%, P = .4), and pinch skin excision (82% vs 88%, P = .3). Groups A and B did not have significant differences in postoperative numbness (6.8% vs 1.4%, P = .2), chemosis (11% vs 10%, P = 1), skin wrinkles (12.3% vs 8.7%, P = .6), hyperpigmentation (1.4% in both groups), bumps (2.7% vs 7.2%, P = .3), tear trough deformity (0.0% in both groups), satisfaction score (97.7% vs 98.1%, P = .4), or reoperation rate (12.3% vs 5.8%, P = .2). CONCLUSIONS: The desired aim of fat redistribution in TCLB seems to be equally achievable with minced fat graft and pedicle fat flap techniques.

[Research progress of iatrogenic blepharoptosis repair after double eyelid surgery].

Objective: To summarize the etiology mechanism and treatment of iatrogenic blepharoptosis after double eyelid surgery in Asia. Methods: To extensively review the literature related to iatrogenic blepharoptosis after double eyelid surgery, and to summarize and analyze the related anatomical mechanism, existing treatment options, and indications. Results: Iatrogenic blepharoptosis is a relatively common complication after double eyelid surgery, sometimes it is combined with other eyelid deformities such as sunken upper eyelid and wide double eyelid, which makes it difficult to repair. The etiology is mainly caused by improper adhesion of tissues and scars, improper removal of upper eyelid tissue, and injury of a link of levator muscle power system. Whether blepharoptosis occurs after double eyelid surgery by incision or suture, it should be repaired by incision. The principles of repair include surgical loosening of tissue adhesion, anatomical reduction, and repair of damaged tissues. The key is to use surrounding tissues or transplanted fat to prevent adhesion. Conclusion: When repairing iatrogenic blepharoptosis clinically, appropriate surgical methods should be selected based on the causes and severity of the blepharoptosis, combined with treatment principles, in order to achieve better repair results.

Reducing Surgical Risks in a Blepharoplasty.

Blepharoplasty is one of the commonest procedures performed for facial rejuvenation. The eyelids play a vital role in maintaining ocular surface integrity and visual functioning. Care must be taken to avoid complications that pose a risk to vision and ocular comfort. In addition, cosmetic complications can adversely affect patient satisfaction. Here the authors review the common complications encountered with blepharoplasty surgery and discuss how to minimize the risk of these and how to treat them if they do arise. With careful preoperative patient counseling, sound intraoperative technique, and appropriate postsurgical care, blepharoplasty remains a safe and well-tolerated procedure.

Brow Position Change and its Potential Risk Factors Following Upper Blepharoplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

BACKGROUND: Eyebrow position affects human facial expression and aesthetic appearance. However, upper-eyelid surgeries may cause brow position changes and affect the function and aesthetics of the eyebrow. The purpose of this review was to assess the influence of upper-eyelid surgeries on brow position and morphology. METHODS: PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE were searched for clinical trials and observational studies published between 1992 and 2022. The brow height from the center of the pupil is analyzed to show the brow height change. The change in brow morphology is measured by the change in brow height from the lateral palpebral and the medial palpebral. Studies are further divided into subgroups according to different surgical techniques, author locations, and whether to conduct skin excision. RESULTS: Seventeen studies met the inclusion criteria. Nine studies and 13 groups were included in the meta-analysis, indicating that brow height decreased significantly after upper-eyelid surgeries (MD = 1.45, 95% CI [0.87, 2.07], P < 0.0001), and simple blepharoplasty, double-eyelid surgery, and ptosis correction can cause the brow position to drop by 0.67, 2.52, and 2.10 mm, respectively. East Asian authors group had a significant decrease in brow height compared with the non-East Asian authors group (28 groups, p = 0.001). Skin excision during blepharoplasty does not affect brow height. CONCLUSIONS: Brow position changes significantly following upper blepharoplasty according to the decrease in brow-pupil distance. The morphology of the brow showed no significant postoperative change. Different techniques and authors locations may result in different levels of postoperative brow descent.

Effect of Upper Lid Blepharoplasty Surgery on Corneal Topography and Corneal High-Order Aberrations.

The objective of this study was to prospectively investigate the effect of upper eyelid blepharoplasty surgery for dermatochalasis on corneal topographic data and high-order aberrations (HOAs). Fifty eyelids of 50 patients with dermatochalasis who underwent upper lid blepharoplasty surgery were prospectively studied. A Pentacam (Scheimpflug camera, Oculus) device was used to measure corneal topographic values, astigmatism degree, and HOAs before and at 2 months after upper eyelid blepharoplasty. The mean age of the patients included in the study was 55.96 ± 12.4 years, 40 (80%) were female and 10 (20%) were male. We found no statistically significant difference in the pre-and postoperative values of corneal topographic parameters (p > 0.05 for all). In addition, we observed no significant postoperative change in the root mean square values of low, high, and total aberration values. In HOAs, we detected no significant change in spherical aberration, horizontal and vertical coma, and vertical trefoil; we only found a statistically significant increase in horizontal trefoil values after surgery (p < 0.05). In our study, we found that upper eyelid blepharoplasty did not cause significant changes in corneal topography, astigmatism, and ocular HOAs. However, studies are reporting different results in the literature. For this reason, it is important for patients considering upper eyelid surgery to be warned about visual changes that may occur after surgery.

The Management of Lumps, Bumps, and Contour Irregularities of the Lower Eyelid and Cheek After Poor Outcome Fat Transfer.

BACKGROUND: The increasing popularity of fat transfer (FT) to the lower eyelids has led to an increase in unwanted lumps, bumps, and contour irregularities (LBCs). Few studies have addressed the management of LBCs. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to address the management of LBCs. METHODS: In this retrospective review, charts of all patients presenting for evaluation of LBCs following FT procedures to the lower eyelid were reviewed. Clinical characteristics on presentation and surgical findings were evaluated. Patient postoperative clinical course and complications were also documented. RESULTS: Forty-eight patients were included (45 women and 3 men), with an average follow-up of 14 months (range, 5-24 months). In 65%, LBCs manifested above the lower orbital rim (AR) and in 35% they were noted AR and below the rim (AR/BR). The type of contour deficits noted were a solitary nodule (SN) in 54%, a mixed picture (MP) in 23%, diffuse enlargement (DE) in 17%, and multiple nodules (MNs) in 6%. Combining lesion location and type of contour deficit, the most common presentation was an SN-AR in 22 patients (46%), followed by an MP-AR/BR in 8 patients (17%), and a DE-AR/BR in 5 patients (10%). Surgical findings revealed that grafted fat is consistently found separate from native eyelid/orbital fat, and within the orbicularis muscle when AR, and within the orbicularis muscle or the deep suborbicularis oculi fat when BR. CONCLUSIONS: LBCs tend to manifest in characteristic patterns with a predilection for an AR location. Recommendations on the diagnosis and management of these lesions are provided.
