    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Plastic Surgery

    Background:

    • Postoperative care following blepharoplasty often involves cold compresses to reduce swelling and bruising.
    • Traditional eye patches can obstruct vision, potentially hindering patient mobility and cooperation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a modified iced saline compress technique for post-blepharoplasty patients.
    • To evaluate the impact of this technique on patient vision and cooperation.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing cotton gauze eye patches with the central portion removed.
    • Applying iced saline compresses with these modified patches after blepharoplasty procedures.

    Main Results:

    • Patients could maintain vision while using the compresses.
    • The technique facilitated improved postoperative cooperation from patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Modified iced saline compresses offer a practical solution for post-blepharoplasty care.
    • This method enhances patient comfort and compliance, potentially improving surgical outcomes.
