Area of Science:

Oculoplastic surgery
Facial plastic surgery

Background:

Lower blepharoplasty can lead to significant complications if not performed correctly.
Understanding techniques to improve outcomes and patient satisfaction is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate outcomes, patient satisfaction, and complications of transcutaneous lower blepharoplasty.
To identify key surgical techniques that enhance results and minimize adverse effects.

Main Methods:

Retrospective review of 265 primary transcutaneous lower blepharoplasty cases over 2 years.
Exclusion of patients with prior eyelid surgery.
Analysis of demographic data, surgical techniques, and complications using standardized photographs.

Main Results:

High patient satisfaction and satisfactory outcomes observed in 265 patients.
Complications included 1% scleral show (two patients requiring revision) and 1.9% intralamellar scarring.
No other complications or patient dissatisfaction were reported.

Conclusions:

Transcutaneous lower blepharoplasty, incorporating controlled skin resection, muscle innervation preservation, orbicularis suspension, and canthal support, yields improved outcomes.
This technique demonstrates exceptionally low complication and revision rates.
Component-based surgical approach enhances safety and efficacy in lower eyelid rejuvenation.
