Objectives:
To explore the effect of surgery combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the correction of mild to moderate blepharoptosis.
Methods:
A retrospective study was conducted on 36 patients with bilateral mild to moderate blepharoptosis from January 2021 to January 2023, which were corrected by surgery combined with local multi-point injection of PRP. The postoperative effect was observed, and the incidence of postoperative complications and patient satisfaction were calculated.
Results:
Postoperative follow-up was 3 months to 2 years. Thirty-five cases of blepharoptosis were well corrected; 1 case (2.8%) had insufficient correction and was corrected by reoperation. There were no obvious complications such as incomplete closure, conjunctival prolapse, and exposed keratitis in 36 patients. All patients were satisfied.
Conclusion:
Surgery combined with PRP is effective in the correction of mild to moderate blepharoptosis with few complications and high satisfaction. As far as we know, this is the first time to apply PRP in the correction of blepharoptosis, which may provide a new idea for the clinical treatment of blepharoptosis and is worth popularizing.
