Purposes:
To describe a surgical technique utilized in a group of Oriental patients to create a crease in the superior eyelid, associated or not with a blepharoplasty, and to review the main factors to attain a satisfactory final result.
Methods:
A retrospective study was made in 12 data of patients submitted to a surgery for creation of an eyelid crease during the period of April/2004 to April/2007. The surgical technique consisted of the removal of excess skin and retroseptal fat when present, and the placement of cutaneous sutures on the epitarsus to form an eyelid crease. A second surgery was done in two patients to improve the symmetry of the eyelid crease.
Results:
All patients demonstrated satisfaction with the final result, symmetrical eyelids and natural look being observed.
Conclusion:
The surgical technique utilized in this group of patients for the formation of an eyelid crease showed good esthetical results in all cases.
