Blepharochalasis, a rare eyelid disorder, causes recurrent swelling. Surgical correction using eyelid tucks, blepharoplasty, and fat grafts can effectively treat the atrophic form after symptoms resolve.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Blepharochalasis is an uncommon disorder characterized by recurrent eyelid edema in young individuals.
  • It can present in hypertrophic (fat herniation) or atrophic (fat atrophy) forms.
  • Chronic episodes lead to ptosis, lateral canthal laxity, and redundant eyelid skin with fine wrinkling and telangiectasias.

Observation:

  • Four cases of atrophic blepharochalasis are presented.
  • The patients experienced the characteristic signs of chronic blepharochalasis, including redundant eyelid skin and laxity.

Findings:

  • Surgical interventions included external levator aponeurosis tuck, blepharoplasty, lateral canthoplasty, and dermis fat grafts.
  • These procedures were performed to correct the atrophic changes after the active phase of the syndrome.

Implications:

  • This case series suggests that a combination of surgical techniques can effectively reconstruct the eyelids in advanced atrophic blepharochalasis.
  • The described surgical approach addresses both functional (ptosis) and aesthetic (redundant skin, laxity) concerns.
  • Further studies are warranted to evaluate long-term outcomes and refine surgical strategies for this rare condition.
