[Prospective and comparative study of the double eyelid blepharoplasty with central minimal incision and with three
Objective:
To compare the clinical effect of the double eyelid blepharoplasty with central minimal incision and with three minimal incisions. Methods: From Jul. 2010 to May 2012, 268 cases (Group A) received double eyelid blepharoplasty with central minimal incision, while 102 cases (Group B) underwent double eyelid blepharoplasty with three minimal incisions. Photos were taken immediately, and 1,2, 4, 8,12 weeks after operation. Operation time, recovery time and postoperative complications were evaluated and recorded. The operation time and recovery time were analyzed by Wilcoxon rank sum test. The postoperative complications were analyzed by chi square test. The satisfactory degree was analyzed by t test.
Results:
The operation time in Group A was (25.63 ± 3.74) min, compared with that (29.90 ± 4.13) min in Group B (Z = -8.011, P <0.01). Meanwhile, the recovery time in Group A was shorter than that in Group B (Z = -15.887, P <0.01). The occurrence rate of postoperative complications,including hematoma,recurrence and scar hyperplasia in Group A was also lower than that in Group B. At the same time, the satisfactory degree in Group A was(97.302 ± 1.764), which was higher than that(88.628 10.880) in Group B (t = 12.650, P <0.05).
Conclusions:
The double eyelid blepharoplasty with central minimal incision, which is suitable for all cases except those who has serious blepharochalsais, has more advantages than double eyelid blepharoplasty with three minimal incisions.
