    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Plastic Surgery
    • Nursing Care

    Background:

    • Eyelid deformities can significantly impact appearance and function.
    • Blepharoplasty is a common surgical procedure for correcting these deformities.
    • While generally safe, blepharoplasty carries potential risks and complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To detail major and minor complications associated with traditional blepharoplasty.
    • To emphasize the critical role of nursing in managing and mitigating these risks.
    • To provide guidance for nurses in preventing blepharoplasty complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of literature on blepharoplasty complications.
    • Analysis of nursing interventions for risk management.
    • Description of common and uncommon adverse events.

    Main Results:

    • Blepharoplasty surgery has a high success rate for aesthetic improvement.
    • Complications, though infrequent, can range from minor (e.g., swelling, bruising) to major (e.g., vision impairment, infection).
    • Proactive nursing care is essential for minimizing complication incidence.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective nursing management is key to maintaining the safety profile of blepharoplasty.
    • Understanding potential complications allows nurses to implement targeted preventative strategies.
    • Collaboration between surgical teams and nursing staff enhances patient safety and surgical success.
