Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Laser Technology

Background:

  • The conventional scalpel method is standard for double-eyelid surgery.
  • Minimizing bleeding and operation time are key goals in blepharoplasty.
  • Laser technology offers potential advantages in surgical procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the carbon dioxide (CO2) laser in double-eyelid operations.
  • To compare laser-assisted blepharoplasty with the conventional scalpel technique.
  • To assess outcomes including operation time, bleeding, healing, and complications.

Main Methods:

  • A Sharplan CO(2) laser was utilized as both a cutting and hemostatic tool in defocused mode.
  • Eighty cases of laser double-eyelid operations were performed.

  • Comparative analysis with the conventional scalpel method was conducted.
  • Outcomes were assessed intraoperatively, immediately postoperatively, and at 3, 7, 10 days, 1 month, and 3 months.

    • Main Results:

    • The laser technique significantly shortened operation time and minimized intraoperative bleeding.
    • The healing process was comparable to the conventional scalpel method.
    • The procedure demonstrated safety and efficiency.

    Conclusions:

    • The CO2 laser is a viable and advantageous tool for double-eyelid surgery.
    • It offers benefits in terms of reduced bleeding and operative time.
    • While generally safe, potential complications such as conjunctival tearing, hematoma, and wound disruption require consideration.
