If a second finger is required in the central eyelid pushing upward, usually a posterior-lamellar graft is required. 438440, 2000. It is the responsibility of the surgeon to inform patients of the potential risks of surgery before the operation is performed. J. H. Oestreicher, N. K. Pang, and W. Liao, Treatment of lower eyelid retraction by retractor release and posterior lamellar grafting: an analysis of 659 eyelids in 400 patients, Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, vol. 125, article 1017, 2010. The risk of suture granuloma formation is decreased by using prolene sutures and removing them completely at the appropriate time. There were no peri- or post-operative complications. 7, pp. Patients must be taught to check their vision one eye at a time. Secondary upper lid lengthening can also be done posteriorly if adequate skin grafting has already been carried out, thereby avoiding another skin incision. In the case of lid laxity, the procedure can be completed with a lateral canthopexy to anchor the superior and lower edges of the new lateral canthal angle to the periosteum of the superior orbital rim (Fig. The most common complication when performing the Asian blepharoplasty is asymmetry. How do you handle them? Significant medial canthal tendon laxity (see above) Consideration can be given to prophylactic lower lid elevation and posterior lamellar grafting at the time of blepharoplasty surgery. The rhomboid flap is an effective quick and simple technique for medial canthal reconstruction. 21, no. PubMedGoogle Scholar. Twelve patients with post-surgical canthal rounding were included. If a third finger is required to recruit skin by pushing the mid face up, skin grafting or possible mid face lifting may be necessary. volume36,pages 564567 (2022)Cite this article. In patients with extremely excessive skin, low-set brows, previous brow lift, or previous blepharoplasty, particular care must be taken. Severe lower eyelid ectropion and retraction in a patient who underwent blepharoplasty elsewhere followed by several reparative attempts by the same surgeon. Am J Ophthalmol 2007;143:1013. The lower lid is then tightened if lax or given an upward vector with a minimal Elschnig tarsorrhaphy if not lax. The patient has severe symptomatic lagophthalmos as well as an unsightly appearance. I had an upper eyelid surgery six months ago and it has been a disaster. Complications of blepharoplasty can be minor or serious. The surgery involves removing redundant skin, fat, and muscle. A. N. Hass, R. B. Penne, M. A. Stefanyszyn, and J. C. Flanagan, Incidence of postblepharoplasty orbital hemorrhage and associated visual loss, Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, vol. Involvement of an internist or hospitalist is helpful in managing fluid shifts caused by these osmotic agents. This is an open access article distributed under the, Scar Hypertrophy and dyspigmentation after transcutaneous blepharoplasty incisions done elsewhere with CO. Upper lid retraction after upper lid blepharoplasty. CT scan is important, but only after initial decompression treatment has been carried out. The lid is placed on upward traction to facilitate this process, and an appropriately sized full-thickness graft is contoured to fit the defect after the eyelid is tightened horizontally. Not only the surgeon but also the patient should be aware of preoperative asymmetry and the potential for minor touch up operations. 10391046, 1983. The information on RealSelf is intended for educational purposes only. The oblique divides the medial lower fat pad from the central lower fat pad and it should be easily identified, and thus protected. In the tenth century, Middle Eastern surgeons described removal of excess eyelid skin to improve vision. In lidocaine (amide-type) sensitive patients, procaine (ester-type) may be used. An alternative approach is the "pinch method" where eyelid skin is grasped and gathered until the skin is tight and the lashes begin to evert. 12, no. All research was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. 21, no. The same principle applies in lower lid fat removal to protect the inferior oblique. Clark ML, Kneiber D, Neal D, Etzkorn J, Maher IA. 4, pp. Tenzel RR: Complications of blepharoplasty. Lower blepharoplasty is one of the most common facial plastic surgery. Severity of visual field loss and health related quality of life. Visual field is repeated with the eyelids taped up. These techniques are similar to those utilized to treat the eyelid retraction of thyroid eye disease [27]. Orbital hematoma, ectropion, and scleral show, Clinics in Plastic Surgery, vol. 1j and 1k). Laser resurfacing in appropriate patients combined with transconjunctival blepharoplasty and appropriate lid tightening gives a far superior result to conventional exterior blepharoplasty, in terms of scar avoidance, avoidance of eyelid retraction, and a more natural and complete resolution of skin redundancy and rhytids. 34, no. B. C. K. Patel, M. Patipa, R. L. Anderson, and W. McLeish, Management of postblepharoplasty lower eyelid retraction with hard palate grafts and lateral tarsal strip, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, vol. Review of old or family photographs may be helpful in clarifying preferences and objectives. Lagophthalmos secondary to upper lid overcorrection. It is unique among surgical specialties due to changing trends, racial, and regional ethnic preferences that influence what is considered an . Emerg Med Clin North Am 1998; 16:689. Is this resolvable? For an upper lid blepharoplasty, ending the incision just lateral to the punctum avoids medial canthal webbing as well as lacrimal system injury. Therefore, it is critical to release the septum from these deeper tissues. The skin then bridges the superomedial hollow of the upper lid in a straight line. May be due to incision extended too far medially. It was used by Karl Ferdinand von Graefe in 1818 when describing eyelid repair after removal of skin cancer (Plast Reconstr Surg 1971;47:246). Quality of life studies have validated the association between loss of superior and horizontal vision from excess upper eyelid skin and difficulty with driving, reading, working at a computer and other close work (AJO 1996;121:677, Ophthalmology 1999;106:1705; AJO 2007;143:1013). May require fat transplants or filler injection to correct the orbital volume deficiency, May be related to surgery or preoperative asymmetry of the face, lid, or brow. Difficult to rectify? Dysmorphophobia. Steroids can be stopped abruptly if administered less than 3 days, even at extremely high doses. The posterior flap is cut along the new inferior lid margin using Westcott spring scissors and folded upwards to create the anterior lamella of the new superior lid margin (Fig. Explain and document how daily visual function is affected. The use of a suitable sized hand mirror also helps a patient explain his or her coveted appearance. im worried that i wont be satisfied with my results if i only get the upper bleph, but im also worried about getting bad scars / webbing with epicanthoplasty. This is seen as a rounded fold of skin and scar tissue inside the normal canthal angle, causing horizontal shortening of the eyelid aperture. Dermatitis: Chronic dermatitis caused by redundant skin is an indication for surgery. 372376, 1998. Sometimes, repair of eyebrow ptosis or blepharoptosis (instead of blepharoplasty or in addition to blepharoplasty) may be alternatives to achieve the patient's goals. Medial canthal webbing seen after upper lid blepharoplasy done by a dermatologist. 2, pp. 1g). Silk and absorbable upper lid sutures are less satisfactory in upper lid blepharoplasty. 11, pp. Discomfort and edema are expected after surgery and are usually adequately managed with acetaminophen. If concerned, the patient can be observed until signs of improvement are noted. I experienced significant swelling in my tear duct area (especially on the right side) My right eye now appears to have webbing on the inner corner. g Lateral canthopexy. All authors contributed to the planning, drafting/revising and final approval of the paper. If the surgeon thought to preserve the excised skin in moist gauze, this can be utilized up to one week postoperatively. Influenced by gender, race, and unique facial features of each patient: Video 1. Inadvertent trauma to an extraocular muscle with deep dissection in orbital fat may occur. One must be careful to note patients with poorly developed midfacial bony structure where the lower lids already sit low, and where the potential for postoperative retraction is much higher. S. J. Pacella and M. A. Codner, Minor complications after blepharoplasty: dry eyes, chemosis, granulomas, ptosis, and scleral show, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, vol. The canthal rounding is split into its anterior and posterior lamellae using a 15-blade followed by Westcott spring scissors (Fig. Patients who view cosmetic surgery as a commodity rather than a medical procedure with attendant risks should not be operated on. Fortunately, with time, these tend to diminish. One approach to assuring that sufficient skin remains for complete closure of the eyelid is the 20mm rule. It is virtually unheard of for this to fail to resolve. Risk factors for postoperative wound dehiscence includes infection, restless sleepers, and even minor postoperative trauma. 7175, 1987. 3, pp. Occasionally spacer grafts are required to completely correct the lid retraction. Lubrication, cool compresses, and observation are essential to resolution. This will significantly speed up the recovery time. 5, pp. 367373, 1972. 5155, 1996. The patient had symptomatic exposure keratitis despite copious lubrication and taping the eyelids closed at night. In addition to a thorough pre operative assessment and meticulous surgical planning, understanding the etiology of complications is key to prevention. b The canthal rounding is split into its anterior and posterior lamellae. Finally, management of complications is just as important as surgical technique. It requires medial canthal scar revision with multiple z-plasty. 758760, 1989. Fortunately, diplopia after blepharoplasty is extremely rare but is still a known complication. 417425, 1993. Black EH, Gladstone GJ, Nesi FA. G. W. Jelks and E. B. Jelks, Repair of lower lid deformities, Clinics in Plastic Surgery, vol. Patients should rest with their head up at least 45 to 60 degrees. Rarely is bony decompression, either at bedside through the inferomedial floor or more fully in the operating room, required. Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. Treatment includes vitamin E cream, massage, and topical or injected corticosteroids. Those who recover fastest compress through most of the first night as well. 1, pp. The scar has webbed and is also very long and wide. The anterior flap is then cut along both superior and inferior lid margins and completely excised (Fig. Lower eyelid of the same patient shown in Figures. b. 767771, 1990. Many surgeons apply a cold compress while the patient is in the recovery area. Article A bandage contact lens or collagen shield is placed to protect the cornea, and the lower lid is placed on traction upwards overnight. I have started massaging the area and wearing silicone strips at night. Prompt decompression of the orbit alone can restore vision. In the initial assessment, patients are encouraged to voice their desires and concerns regarding the aesthetic appearance and functional features of their eyelids. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41433-021-01497-y, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41433-021-01497-y. Plast Reconstr Surg 2010; 125:1017. Blindness following blepharoplasty: two case reports, and a discussion of management. The alternative argument is that epinephrine vasoconstriction is followed by rebound vasodilation, which may actually potentiate the risk of postoperative orbital hemorrhage. If a definite levator laceration is observed, it should be repaired if it is causing ptosis. Improved vision needs to be monitored by hospital staff or by the patient for stability for 1 to 3 days after treatment is stopped. The surgical technique was developed by one of the senior authors (NJ). C. D. McCord Jr., The correction of lower lid malposition following lower lid blepharoplasty, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, vol. Approximately 11.5 cc of anesthetic is injected through a 27- or 30gauge needle in the plane between skin and orbicularis muscle across the entire eyelid. Careful preoperative marking will minimize the incidence of this result and of course many minor degrees of asymmetry will disappear with time. In New York city, I would say it ranges Good evening and thank you for your question .Complications of blepharoplasty can be minor or serious. Younger patients may want to retain fullness above the lid crease so that preservation of orbicularis muscle may be considered, Older patients may need to retain blink efficiency so that so that preservation of orbicularis muscle may be considered, In Caucasian women, the crease is usually 811mm above the lid margin. A running prolene suture, with several interrupted reinforcements is useful. Visualized and palpated scar is released aggressively in the postblepharoplasty retraction circumstance, so the lid is freed from attachments to the inferior orbital rim. Absorbable upper lid sutures either in the skin or buried, have a risk of tissue reaction or dehiscence. Another mechanism is direct or indirect injury to the inferior oblique during surgery. Another possible issue is post-operative conjunctival thickening and persistent redness in the operated area. 103, no. Laser can be used to expose the superficial fibers of the levator for incorporation into the skin closure. In Caucasians, the orbital septum attaches to the levator aponeurosis at or slightly above the superior tarsal border or over the anterior surface of the tarsus. Treatment of conjunctival chemosis can alleviate downward pressure on the lower eyelid. e The posterior flap is folded into its new position. Lateral skin often takes longer to soften and smooth because it is thicker compared to eyelid skin. Restoring palpebral fissure shape after previous lower blepharoplasty. 21, no. 20, no. Figure 2 shows an example of upper lid retraction secondary to upper lid overcorrection. Canthal rounding can occur following trauma or surgery to the medial or lateral canthus, causing possible aesthetic or functional deficits to patients. Canthal rounding can cause cosmetic or functional deficit with visual obstruction on lateral gaze. Multiple repairs may be required for the optimum result to be achieved. 207212, 2008. i Anterior flap is completely excised. Many older patients do not have tearing with one obstructed canaliculus due to decreased tear production. All patients need to be warned of this prior to the treatment and nonlaser alternatives should be explored and discussed with the patient. When skin shortage dictates skin graft placement, the technique is similar to that for other forms of cicatricial ectropion. The lid should be kept on upward traction 1 to 7 days with a frost suture to the lateral eyebrow [28, 29]. 3 The lateral canthal angle is sharp and crisp, with the lateral commissure closely opposed to the globe . An allergist should guide the workup and management of this condition. Measurement and precision are key to avoiding overcorrection. Patient discomfort from suture removal is minimized by using Jewellers forceps and sharp Vannas scissors. A test spot can be offered the patient although a good result with the test spot is not a guarantee of subsequent good results. Abnormalities of lower eyelid position include lower lid retraction with scleral show, rounding of the lower eyelid contour, rounding of the lateral canthal angle, and ectropion. 4350, 1985. Anyone you share the following link with will be able to read this content: Sorry, a shareable link is not currently available for this article. 1d and 1e). In addition, placement of an upper lid traction suture is important or the skin graft will be ineffective [79]. The incision, which is made along the previously marked lines, can be made with a 15Bard Parker blade, an incisional CO2 laser, a diamond blade, or a needle-tipped Bovie or radiofrequency instrument. The information on RealSelf is intended for educational purposes only. Temporary sutures may approximate the skin before application of the glue. However, rapid release of orbital pressure by opening the wound, lateral canthotomy and inferior and/or superior cantholysis is critical. Am J Ophthalmol 1996;121:677. In the face of frank orbital hemorrhage with proptosis, a frozen globe, and vision loss, bold measures are called for. The procedure can be carried out under local anaesthesia only or in combination with sedation. May be due to inadvertent trauma, poor wound healing, excessive tension, early suture removal, and infection. In men, the brow protrudes more anteriorly, and the eyelid crease is closer to the eyelid margin. 4, pp. J Allergy Clin Immunol 1986; 78:417. Battu VK, Meyer DR, Wobig JL. Usually, it is a mistake to try and change their upper eyelid nature too drastically, unless this desire and postoperative appearance is made abundantly clear. Excess preaponeurotic and/or nasal fat is removed. Facial plastic and reconstructive surgery is a remarkably diverse specialty, ranging from maxillofacial trauma and reconstruction to facial rejuvenation, rhinoplasty, cleft surgery, microvascular surgery, facial cosmetic procedures, and pain control. J. 1, no. I have started massaging the area and wearing silicone strips at night. The erythema lasts an average of 3 months in women but can be covered readily with make up after 8 or 9 days. Patient education and cold avoidance are the primary means of treatment. 107, no. Ptosis of varying degree is common for patients to experience the day after upper lid blepharoplasty. McCullough ME, Emmons RA, Kilpatrick SD, Mooney CN. All ophthalmologists should feel comfortable treating orbital hemorrhage with canthotomy and cantholysis. L. Guo, H. Bi, C. Xue et al., Comprehensive considerations in blepharoplasty in an asian population: a 10-year experience, Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, vol. 106, no. Antiglaucoma medications or anterior chamber drainage are treatments aimed at central retinal artery occlusion, not orbital hemorrhage. Dissection in the lateral canthal area may result in altered lymphatic drainage. Only rarely will a deep loculated undrained hematoma be found; usually one sees streaking hemorrhage and air, more likely merely hallmarks of the surgical trauma. Occasionally, incision lines may look hypertrophied, particularly in keloid-forming patients. Swelling and bruising you may have will be virtually gone by day 10. 8, no. This is particularly important if incisions are made with the CO2 laser. the best experience, we recommend you use a more up to date browser (or turn off compatibility mode in Our patients reported excellent outcomes post-operatively without any significant scarring. We report a new technique for canthoplasty repair of canthal rounding with the use of illustrative cases. d. Patient 9: Left lateral canthal rounding following blepharoplastydouble flap technique (right side not shown). 18, no. 6, pp. Unrealistic expectations include those patients who desire no upper lid fold at all, operated patients (who already look over corrected) desiring further improvement, patients who plan to return to their high demand occupation the day after surgery or those who book travel within the first week of surgery. I have inner eyelid webbing following a blepharoplasty 2 years ago. The punctum is a useful landmark for the upper lid and lower lid incision. im interested in revision double eyelid surgery as i want a thicker crease + parallel. Crease formation should not be high on the levator (if above tarsal plate at all) to avoid a distorted westernized look, asymmetry, and ptosis. Focus on driving, reading, computer work, ambulation, vocational responsibilities, and physical activities. What is the standard eyelid surgery recovery time? My eyes were lovely and i fear Ive ruined them.I think Im a difficult as my eyes were good before and I wanted just a tweak. An effective emergency contact arrangement needs to be in place so prompt assessment and intervention can be carried out [33]. However, certain caution should be taken to avoid and manage postoperative ptosis. Blepharoplasty is an operation to modify the contour and configuration of the eyelids in order to restore a more youthful appearance. Dry eye symptoms may worsen if there is a decreased blink after removal of orbicularis muscle. As the surgeon, it is important to be aware of the potential complications of surgery. Laser resurfacing is utilized where skin shrinkage and rhytid reduction are desired. Nonsedating antihistamines may help control cold-induced symptoms. 6, pp. Proptosis, severe pain, decreased visual acuity, relative afferent pupillary defect, and elevated intraocular pressure confirm the diagnosis. Many people never had a full wide open upper lid and appeared heavy-lidded in younger years and their lid crease height is at 7mm, not 10mm. 2, pp. Ophthalmic Surg 1990; 21:85. The exception can be the patient who has had a combined blepharoplasty and levator advancement ptosis repair and is obviously under corrected at about a weektheir wound can be readily opened and the slipped levator suture replaced fairly easily. Upper blepharoplasty can yield significant functional and aesthetic benefits for patients. The lateral canthal angle is reformed to an acute configuration [2426]. Lastly, there are occasional patients who develop unrelated cranial nerve palsies some weeks or months after surgery by chance alone. For lower eyelid blepharoplasty in Asians, transconjunctival fat removal yields far superior results to an external approach [34]. Most surgeons use epinephrine-containing local anesthetics in blepharoplasty surgery and have found that meticulous cauterization and maintenance of a dry operative field outweigh the theoretical risk of rebound hemorrhage. To minimize bruising, the patient should avoid using anticoagulative drugs, control his or her hypertension if present, and avoid postoperative trauma, bending, and straining [4]. An aesthetically pleasing eye has an almond shape with superior arc that peaks medially 27 and a slight upward inclination of the lateral canthal angle (positive canthal tilt).
