Summary
Nanosoft technology significantly reduced pain and swelling during upper eyelid blepharoplasty compared to traditional needles. This new method offers improved patient comfort and faster recovery for aesthetic surgery.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Plastic Surgery
- Anesthesiology
Background:
- Upper blepharoplasty is commonly performed under local anesthesia.
- Patient perception and comfort during and after the procedure require improvement.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of Nanosoft technology for local anesthetic infiltration in upper eyelid blepharoplasty.
- To compare Nanosoft technology with traditional needle injections for pain, ecchymosis, and edema.
Main Methods:
- A prospective, randomized clinical trial involving 20 patients undergoing upper blepharoplasty.
- One eyelid infiltrated with Nanosoft technology, the contralateral with traditional needles.
- Postoperative pain (VAS), ecchymosis, and edema were recorded.
Main Results:
- Nanosoft technology resulted in significantly lower mean Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain scores (p < 0.05).
- Significantly reduced rates of postoperative ecchymosis (p = 0.0012) and edema (p = 0.0197) were observed with Nanosoft technology.
- All patients reported satisfaction with no major complications.
Conclusions:
- Nanosoft technology appears to be a more effective and efficient method for local anesthetic infiltration in upper eyelid blepharoplasty.
- This technique may reduce patient discomfort and postoperative downtime.
- Further research can validate these findings for broader clinical application.
