    Summary

    CO2 laser skin coagulation offers a novel solution for lower eyelid laxity after transconjunctival blepharoplasty. This method effectively retracts excess skin, improving eyelid tone and cosmetic outcomes without surgical excision.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Plastic Surgery
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Transconjunctival blepharoplasty can result in lower eyelid overlaxness.
    • Inadequate skin retraction may compromise cosmetic results after this procedure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a method for controlled eyelid retraction using CO2 laser skin coagulation.
    • To assess the efficacy of CO2 laser treatment for periocular skin reshaping in cases of lower eyelid laxity.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 37 patients with lower eyelid laxity post-blepharoplasty was treated.
    • A 10W CO2 laser with a 5-mm defocused beam diameter and 100 ms pulses was utilized for skin coagulation.
    • The procedure aimed at controlled retraction of the eyelid skin.

    Main Results:

    • The CO2 laser treatment led to effective retraction of excess eyelid skin.
    • Patients achieved improved lower eyelid tone and desired cosmetic appearance.
    • No skin excision was required for the treated cases.

    Conclusions:

    • CO2 laser skin coagulation is a safe and effective method for periocular skin reshaping.
    • This technique provides a viable alternative treatment for blepharochalasis without skin excision.
    • The procedure successfully addresses lower eyelid laxity following transconjunctival blepharoplasty.
