Observation of Clinical Treatment Effect of Plastic Surgery of Asymmetric Double Eyelids

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of plastic surgery of asymmetric double eyelid.Methods:The clinical data of 70 patients with asymmetrical double eyelid who underwent plastic surgery in our hospital from April 2018 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into different groups based on different plastic surgery procedures.The control group(n=35 cases)were the patients who underwent double eyelid incision method,and the patients who used embedding double eyelid method were included in the observation group(n=35 cases).The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,incision size,healing time of incision,satisfaction of p1astic surgery and occurrence of complications were compared between the two groups.Results:The operation time and incision healing time of the observation group were shorter than those of the control group.The intraoperative blood 1oss and incision were less than those of the control group,and the satisfaction was higher than that of the control group.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of complications in the observation group was slightly lower than the control group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion:For asymmetric double eyelid,it should undergo embedding double eyelid plastic surgery,because the operation time and incision healing time are shorter.And intraoperative blood 1oss and incision size are smal1er,which can improve patient satisfaction and reduce the incidence of complications.

A practical technique of reverse orbicularis oculi muscle resection with preserved subcutaneous capillary network for double eyelid blepharoplasty

Background: Traditional full-incision double eyelid blepharoplasty has several significant disadvantages, including slow recovery and bilateral asymmetry, which results in high rates of patient dissatisfaction. These problems can be minimized using improved surgical techniques aimed at reducing tissue damage and bleeding, decreasing operation time, and especially at protecting the subcutaneous capillary network during the operation. We therefore aimed to guard the capillary network and reduce intraoperative bleeding using the practical technique of reverse orbicularis oculi muscle resection.Methods: Fifty cases of double eyelid blepharoplasty with traditional full-incision(group A) and 61 cases of reverse double eyelid blepharoplasty with a preserved capillary network(group B) were divided into two groups from October 1 to December 31, 2021 and from March 1 to May 31, 2022, respectively. The orbicularis oculi muscle was removed reversely from the front of the tarsal plate using double eyelid blepharoplasty, and the muscular membrane and subcutaneous capillary network were preserved. The operation time recorded in previous medical records was checked and compared with that of our novel technique. The recovery of double eyelid blepharoplasty was determined at 1, 4, and 12 weeks after the operation and patient satisfaction was also compared with that in previous medical records of patients in group A.Results: The reverse double eyelid blepharoplasty procedure was less complicated and easier to control than the traditional full-incision double eyelid blepharoplasty methodology. The average operation time of the double eyelid blepharoplasty cases with traditional full-incision was significantly greater than that of the cases of reverse double eyelid blepharoplasty with the capillary network preserved(45.68 ± 5.27 min and 31.11 ± 5.58 min,respectively;t=14.018 9, P=0.000 0). Patient satisfaction was 42% and 78.69%, respectively, at 1 week postoperation(χ~2=15.724 8, P=0.000 1), 62% and 90.16% at 4 weeks post-operation(χ~2=12.490 2, P=0.000 4),and 90% and 95.08%, at 12 weeks post-operation(χ~2=1.061 1, P=0.303 0).Conclusion: Reverse double eyelid blepharoplasty with preserved subcutaneous capillary network effectively decreases the operation time and improves post-operative patient satisfaction. It is a double eyelid blepharoplasty method worthy of popularization.

A Comparative Study in the Outcome of Primary Asian Blepharoplasty with and without Fat Removal

Background: Asian Blepharoplasty (AB) is one of the most commonly performed aesthetic procedures today. Despite the increasing demand for AB and advancements in surgical techniques, creating an optimal upper eyelid crease remains difficult. This study aimed to determine whether removing the preaponeurotic fat pad (PAF) had any effect on the revision surgery rates following primary Asian blepharoplasty. Methods: A retrospective comparative analysis was conducted on patients who underwent primary AB between January 2016 and December 2020. Patients were divided into PAF removed and PAF not removed groups. The outcomes in the groups were compared by the frequency of revision surgery following primary AB using the chi-square test (p Results: The study included 480 patients, 442 (92%) female and 38 (8%) male, and the final outcome was evaluated after 6 months postoperatively. 412 (86%) patients were observed to have PAF pads intraoperatively, while 68 (14%) had minimal/no PAF pads. In total, 115 (24%) patients underwent revision surgery, of whom 31 (27%) had PAF removed, 66 (57%) had PAF not removed, and 18 (16%) had minimal/no PAF noted. When compared to the PAF not removed group, the PAF removed group showed a significantly lower frequency of revision surgery between the two groups of patients (p = 0.0001). Conclusion: In the final outcome, not removing the PAF in primary AB indicated a strong association with an increase in revision surgery. The removal of PAF in primary AB showed a better overall outcome and patient satisfaction.
