    Area of Science:

    • Oculoplastic Surgery
    • Cosmetic Surgery

    Background:

    • Standard blepharoplasty techniques can lead to complications such as lagophthalmos and ectropion.
    • Aesthetic outcomes in blepharoplasty are often dependent on precise surgical techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present an advanced surgical technique for upper lid blepharoplasty.
    • To introduce a modified skin excision technique for lower lid blepharoplasty.
    • To enhance safety and aesthetic outcomes in blepharoplasty procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Upper lid blepharoplasty involves creating a supratarsal fold by removing fat pads, orbicularis fibers, and orbital septum, with skin fixation to the levator aponeurosis.
    • Lower lid blepharoplasty utilizes triangular skin excision for precise closure and fixation of the skin flap to the lateral orbital rim.

  • These techniques aim to minimize skin excision and prevent specific postoperative complications.

    • Main Results:

    • The described upper lid technique yields a concave, high supratarsal fold with reduced skin excision.
    • The lower lid technique minimizes "dog-ear" formation and reduces the risk of ectropion.
    • Both techniques enhance safety by preventing lagophthalmos and ectropion, respectively.

    Conclusions:

    • These advanced blepharoplasty techniques offer improved aesthetic results and safety profiles.
    • The presented methods are particularly beneficial for reducing the incidence of specific postoperative complications.
    • Surgeons performing blepharoplasty should consider these advanced techniques for optimal patient outcomes.
