The punctum is a useful landmark for the upper lid and lower lid incision. The two fuse low in the upper eyelid, so the inexperienced surgeon is well advised to open the septum high up where there is a good barrier of preaponeurotic fat underneath to protect the levator. Rapid release of orbital pressure by opening the wound, releasing the lid with a lateral canthotomy with inferior and/or superior cantholysis, is most important. Many patients present for correction of dark circles under the eyes. Dark circles are caused by 3 factors: shadowing caused by fat bulging above the dark area, the blood supply of the fat showing through the thin eyelid skin, and thirdly, actual pigment in the epidermis and dermis. J. H. Oestreicher and K. Tarassoly, The mini tarsal strip lateral canthopexy for lower eyelid laser-assisted blepharoplasty-indications, technique and complications in 614 cases, Orbit, vol. 4, pp. Lateral traction was placed with a finger to the canthal web to displace the fold of . Topical and systemic antibiotics are utilized due to the open wounds, and their repair is planned electively in 1 to 2 weeks if they do not close on their own. CAS Patients should plan to not drive for a week, due to the blurriness caused by the ointment use. 8, no. 466474, 2010. More effect (in terms of lifting skin off the eyelashes) for less skin excision can be achieved by creating a higher lid crease during the blepharoplasty. Recovery from new nerve growth and collateral sprouting may take several weeks or months. j and k Posterior flap is folded over and sutured into the new inferior lid margin. Massry GG. 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. Medial canthal webbing. Proptosis, severe pain, decreased visual acuity, relative afferent pupillary defect, and elevated intraocular pressure confirm the diagnosis. I had MOHS five weeks ago for squamous cell, a single layer was removed from the upper side of my nose. Control of obvious bleeding points, if present is important. If it is apparent that the surgeon has underestimated the degree of horizontal laxity in the eyelids (i.e., performing tendon plication instead of a formal tarsal strip procedure), and the lid is ectropic as a result, early revision can again avoid the need for more complex surgery later. Intravenous mannitol 20% (12g/kg over 3060minutes). Dermatol Surg. I was given antibiotic drops but havent seen any improvement in two weeks.I also appear to have webbing forming in both eyes but more so on the right (which also looks smaller). If noted, however, it should be treated with bleaching creams. This is due to more rapid and wider diffusion of the local anaesthetic agent, affecting other structures such as cranial nerves. Milder eyelid laxity is treated by a form of lateral canthal tendon plication at the time of lower lid blepharoplasty, and dehiscence here is less common and of milder extent, and hence can usually be managed supportively [7]. The oblique divides the medial lower fat pad from the central lower fat pad and it should be easily identified, and thus protected. Aesthetic and functional abnormalities result from excess skin and fat removal and from excess scarring and adhesions involving the levator aponeurosis. If persistent, a superolateral skin excision with crease reformation will raise the persistently hooded side. Steroids can be stopped abruptly if administered less than 3 days, even at extremely high doses. R. R. Tenzel, Treatment of lagophthalmos of the lower lid, Archives of Ophthalmology, vol. Many surgeons apply a cold compress while the patient is in the recovery area. Occasionally, incision lines may look hypertrophied, particularly in keloid-forming patients. With an acute hemorrhage, intraorbital pressure rises abruptly, and the blood supply to the optic nerve is compromised. This is a retrospective case series describing the technique using illustrative cases from across three sites (London [UK], Adelaide [Australia], Sydney [Australia]). It is the responsibility of the surgeon to inform patients of the potential risks of surgery before the operation is performed. Jeong S, Lemke BN, Dortzbach RK, et al: The Asian upper eyelid: an anatomical study with comparison to the Caucasian eyelid. 372376, 1998. The rhomboid flap is an effective quick and simple technique for medial canthal reconstruction. A posterior lamellar graft is then placed between the cut lower edge of tarsal plate and the recessed cut conjunctival edge. Clark ML, Kneiber D, Neal D, Etzkorn J, Maher IA. lateral hooding looks worse than before.The right side has raised lumpy scarring which runs a little too far in, probably why I have the web? While we do connect people with vetted, board-certified doctors, we dont provide medical consultations, diagnosis, or advice. If the lid crease is marked 8 mm above the lash margin, for example, the upper edge of the incision should be 12 mm below the brow margin. A running prolene suture, with several interrupted reinforcements is useful. 7, pp. Prospective analysis of changes in corneal topography after upper eyelid surgery. Even well-adjusted patients will perceive and focus on asymmetry caused by bruising and swelling or discomfort during the early postoperative period. Yazici B, etinkaya A, akirli E. Bilobed flap in the reconstruction of inferior and/or lateral periorbital defects. 604606, 1989. Review of old or family photographs may be helpful in clarifying preferences and objectives. Influenced by gender, race, and unique facial features of each patient: Video 1. 102, no. Mackley CL. C. D. McCord Jr. and J. W. Shore, Avoidance of complications in lower lid blepharoplasty, Ophthalmology, vol. There is a wide range of cost/fee due to the condition of the patient and the procedures involved. It seems my canthoplasty has failed. 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. Incidence of postblepharoplasty orbital hemorrhage and associated visual loss. These can result from skin shortage, middle-lamellar (orbital septum) scarring, and posterior lamellar (retractors and conjunctiva) cicatrisation as seen in Figures 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. It has also caused the skin to be stretched down tight onto my nose from the bridge to the incision. Also, avoid excess cautery to the levator. Occasionally instead of scar hypertrophy, epithelial inclusion cysts occur. Remove granulation tissue and freshen wound edges. An allergist should guide the workup and management of this condition. Due to the complexity and intricate nature of eyelid anatomy, complications do exist. Blindness and embolic stroke can occur with accidental intravenous or intra-arterial injection of these materials, particularly near the supraorbital vessels [10, 11]. Patients must be taught to check their vision one eye at a time. d The posterior flap is created. True canalicular injury may require late repair if epiphora results. Antibiotic or steroid/antibiotic ointment may be applied twice a day to sutures and into the eyes at night. Very rarely topical or injected steroids can be used, as true keloids of the eyelid skin are rare. Canthal rounding can be cosmetically-unacceptable to patients. Antiglaucoma medications or anterior chamber drainage are treatments aimed at central retinal artery occlusion, not orbital hemorrhage. Canthal rounding can cause cosmetic or functional deficit with visual obstruction on lateral gaze. Patients undergo upper blepharoplasty for purely aesthetic reasons. As the surgeon, it is important to be aware of the potential complications of surgery. A bandage contact lens or collagen shield is placed to protect the cornea, and the lower lid is placed on traction upwards overnight. A free tarsoconjunctival graft can alternatively be used [2023]. Lid crease asymmetry is usually corrected by raising the lower eyelid crease. Is there help out there? e The posterior flap is folded into its new position. Absorbable upper lid sutures either in the skin or buried, have a risk of tissue reaction or dehiscence. Twelve patients have undergone this surgical technique for correction of post-surgical canthal rounding. If pigment is present without fat herniation, treatment with skin bleaching agents can be tried first. The primary insertion of the levator aponeurosis into the orbicularis muscle and into the upper eyelid skin occurs closer to the eyelid margin in Asians. I had an upper bleph three weeks ago (22 days out). Inadvertent injury to the lacrimal system should be avoided in upper blepharoplasty by limiting incision medially. Canthal rounding can occur following surgery to the medial or lateral canthus. Plast Reconstr Surg 1971; 47: 246. Scott KR, Tse DT, Kronish JW. Webs abnormal folds of skin can occur in both areas and are referred to as medial and lateral canthal webs. Posttreatment admission to hospital is recommended, with close visual acuity monitoring, head elevation, ice water compresses, intravenous steroids until 24 hours of stable vision have been noted, as well as imaging with CT scanning. Inadvertent trauma to an extraocular muscle with deep dissection in orbital fat may occur. Racial and ethnic facial characteristics including skin type and underlying facial bone structure may be included in discussing alternatives and surgical planning. In addition, supporting structures such as canthal tendons are tightened. Recognition is key, as is a rapid response. Crease formation should not be high on the levator (if above tarsal plate at all) to avoid a distorted westernized look, asymmetry, and ptosis. M. J. Hawes and G. A. Jamell, Complications of tarsoconjunctival grafts, Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, vol. J Allergy Clin Immunol 1986; 78:417. T. R. Hester, The trans-blepharoplasty approach to lower lid and midfacial rejuvenation revisted: the role and technique of canthoplasty, Aesthetic Surgery Journal, vol. Ophthalmic Surg 1990; 21:85. M. Ferri and J. H. Oestreicher, Treatment of post-blepharoplasty lower lid retraction by free tarsoconjunctival grafting, Orbit, vol. 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]. Freeman EE, Muoz B, Rubin G, West SK. Homeopathic treatments such as Bromelain and Arnica may help to minimize postoperative bruising and swelling. i Anterior flap is completely excised. 10391046, 1983. 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. Upper eyelid spacer grafts such as sclera or tarsus are best avoided, as they are unnecessary and can be unsightly and palpable to the patient. What is the standard eyelid surgery recovery time? S. J. Pacella and M. A. Codner, Minor complications after blepharoplasty: dry eyes, chemosis, granulomas, ptosis, and scleral show, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, vol. One should identify (and preserve) the inferior oblique and levator during surgery, to be confident they have not been injured. 438440, 2000. Eye 36, 564567 (2022). Blepharoplasty is an operation to modify the contour and configuration of the eyelids in order to restore a more youthful appearance. 366368, 1969. 7175, 1987. All research was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Many older patients do not have tearing with one obstructed canaliculus due to decreased tear production. He said he stitched the lower outer corner to the top lid! 2013;29:20814. Remember also that when the preaponeurotic fat is grasped and the septal attachments divided, it is possible to pull the superficial levator aponeurosis up with it. Ive become really sad as my eyes were pretty before, esp my right which is the one he has botched. Lid crease fixation is not always necessary. Frequency of cold compresses is decreased as the effectiveness of this therapy lessens. G. Y. Shaw and J. Khan, The management of ectropion using the tarsoconjunctival composite graft, Archives of Otolaryngology, vol. Patients typically are seen after blepharoplasty surgery or trauma with both cosmetic and functional (visual-field obstruction in lateral gaze) deficits. Removal or preservation of fat and muscle can help achieve these goals. The risk is failure, with reemphasis, doubling, or other scarring of the existing low crease. The skin and orbicularis oculi muscle form the anterior layers of the upper eyelid. Several surgical techniques to repair. Generally, the surgeon must leave 10mm of skin under the brows above the upper lid crease incision in order to avoid lagophthalmos, and more if the lid crease height is less than 10mm from the lid margin. Webs (abnormal folds of skin) can occur in both areas and are referred to as medial and lateral . It must be understood that old photographs do not represent a guarantee or even a goal, but rather act as a guidepost. J. P. Gunter and F. L. Hackney, A simplified transblepharoplasty subperiosteal cheek lift, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, vol. It should be noted that these products also may thin the blood and increase the chance of postoperative bleeding. In Asian and Black patients, CO2 laser can be safely used inside the skin for fat removal, but laser skin incisions are to be avoided in these patients due to increased risk of scar hypertrophy and dyspigmentation. The most common result which will be noted by the patient is lid crease asymmetry. Slight dehiscence can be treated with topical and oral antibiotics, but a complete dehiscence needs prompt debridement and repair to avoid lower lid retraction and scarring. Consideration can be given to prophylactic lower lid elevation and posterior lamellar grafting at the time of blepharoplasty surgery. 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. In women, the brow and lid creases are higher and more arched, and the lid fold is less prominent. Narcissists as 'victims': the role of narcissism in the perception of transgressions. Avoid placing the crease too high to prevent the appearance of over-westernization. Partial removal of orbicularis over the lateral orbital rim area may provide a small eyebrow elevation. Patients with unrealistic expectations may perceive an operative complication after uncomplicated surgery. R. R. Tenzel, Complications of blepharoplasty. A total of 20mm of skin should remain when measured vertically between the lower margin of the central eyebrow and the margin of the central eyelashes. Patients taking aspirin, anticoagulants, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, vitamin E, gingko, and other herbal medications should stop them, if possible, up to 3 weeks preoperatively. Unfortunately, even with careful patient selection and surgical planning, and an uneventful perioperative period, some patients may be dissatisfied with their results. e. Patient 12: Left lateral canthal rounding following blepharoplastysingle flap technique. 2 were supplied by DS and NJ. It is important to elicit particular concerns of each individual patient, and also for the surgeon to identify unrealistic expectations. f The flaps are secured into their new positions. In darker-skinned patients at risk for reactive posttreatment hyperpigmentation, pre and posttreatment with topical Retin-A and bleaching creams can be utilized. 20292041, 1999. 797802, 1981. I am devastated. Perin LF, Helene A, Fraga MF. Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. Therefore, careful incision planning and meticulous surgery will minimize this problem. The skin then bridges the superomedial hollow of the upper lid in a straight line. Prevent and treat with careful preop evaluation and perioperative artificial tears, ointments, punctal plugs, etc. Rapid treatment is critical. 4, pp. Important measurements to evaluate include palpebral fissure, marginal reflex distance, amount of lagophthalmos, and lid crease height. Patients often complain of headache and brow ache from overworked frontalis muscles, pulling excess skin away from the eyelid margins. Lower eyelid skin excision or laser resurfacing (or neither) is another key decision. Fronto-ethmoidal external approaches and more rarely external DCR and blepharoplasty represent the commonest iatrogenic causes of medial canthal webbing. Open or closed lateral canthoplasty often performed in conjunction with various facial rejuvenation procedures (Taban, OPRS 2010) (e.g., upper- and/or lower-lid blepharoplasty, midface lift) Contraindications. Ophthal Plast Reconstr Surg. Finally, management of complications is just as important as surgical technique. If the nasal fat pad fat is to be removed, care is taken to cauterize or avoid medial palpebral vessels which course over the medial fat pad. Am J Ophthalmol 2007;143:1013. Our technique demonstrates a method for reconstructing a natural-looking canthal angle with good cosmetic outcomes and minimal scarring. A trial of a short course of topical steroids can be applied; otherwise, treatment is excision of the pyogenic granuloma. 107, no. Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. When preparing for lower lid blepharoplasty, important features to note are the amount of excess skin and the presence of fine rhytids (wrinkles), prolapsed fat (quantity and location), malar bags or festoons, lid laxity, scleral show and pigmentary characteristics. Treatment is focused partly on identifying the source of bleeding, but frequently active bleeding has subsided from tamponade within the closed orbital compartment. (Remember there is an increased rate of dehiscence of the periosteal attachment in these circumstances.) It may be necessary to lighten the patients sedation to gain an accurate assessment of lid height, and sitting them upright is also useful. 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. Acute orbital hemorrhage requires prompt intervention. I had an upper eyelid surgery six months ago and it has been a disaster. 2, pp. Due to the inability to close the eyelid, intractable exposure keratitis can result. N. Shorr, J. D. Christenbury, and R. A. Goldberg, Tarsoconjunctival grafts for upper eyelid cicatricial entropion, Ophthalmic Surgery, vol. Excessive bruising can lead to a prolonged recovery, infection, cicatrisation, and skin pigmentation. Difficult to rectify? It forms a c shape and makes my eyes asymmetrical. The canthal rounding is split into its anterior and posterior lamellae using a 15-blade followed by Westcott spring scissors (Fig. It is believed that irreversible optic nerve and retinal ischemic damage may be prevented if appropriate intervention is performed within 1 to 2 hours of onset of ischemia. 1f). The most serious complication following upper blepharoplasty, Rare, with an estimated incidence of 1:20,000 (Ophthal Surg 1990;21:85). I am 13 days post op. The authors declare no competing interests. My doctor doesn't think he can repair it. 5, pp. I had eyelid surgery one year ago and have been left with a very unsightly scar. The conjunctivalised tissue appears effective at increasing the lid aperture and preventing re-adhesions, even when only a single flap is used and one lid margin is left to granulate. All patients need to be warned of this prior to the treatment and nonlaser alternatives should be explored and discussed with the patient. Injury to the inferior oblique or less commonly other extraocular muscles, is rare. Surgery can cost all different from street to street, even blocks to blocks in the same city, depending on the surgeon's reputation, skill and experiences. Involvement of an internist or hospitalist is helpful in managing fluid shifts caused by these osmotic agents. Epiphora from damage to the lacrimal outflow system can occur if the incision line is carried too medially and too close to the horizontal midline. Besides webbing and incisions up to my eye brows I have this sagging in my left eye. This is because they cause more harm than good. Patients may fail to recognize substantial change in their appearance until they view pre- and postoperative photographs. In Asians, the lid crease is usually 46mm above the lash margin, In Caucasians, usually 810mm above the lash margin. 2, pp. 6, pp. It is often necessary to tighten the lower eyelid at the time of blepharoplasty. The patient must be a resurfacing candidate to consider this treatment modality (Fitzpatrick skin type, I, II, or III), and the risks of hypopigmentation and hyperpigmentation stressed. The anterior flap is cut along the new superior lid margin using Westcott spring scissors and folded downwards to create the anterior lamella of the new inferior lid margin (Fig. The alternative argument is that epinephrine vasoconstriction is followed by rebound vasodilation, which may actually potentiate the risk of postoperative orbital hemorrhage. 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. 2005; 21:327. Plast Reconstr Surg. However with skin closure, this scar generally blends well with the normal smile lines in the lateral canthal area. 5, pp. 4, pp. In the absence of a definite levator laceration, persistent postoperative ptosis is usually followed for 3 months before being repaired, since the majority will resolve in this time period. Once patients concerns are identified, the surgeon should inquire about cardiac and thyroid disease, hypertension, diabetes, bleeding diathesis, and keloid scar formation. Understanding the differences in anatomy in the occidental and oriental eyelid is essential when performing blepharoplasty surgery in this population. Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. N. Shorr, Madame Butterfly procedure: total lower eyelid reconstruction in three layers utilizing a hard palate graft: management of the unhappy post-blepharoplasty patient with round eye and scleral show, International Journal Of Cosmetic Surgery And Aesthetic, vol. Im losing faith in him though and am looking elsewhere for revision. 1h) then split into its anterior and posterior lamellae as described earlier. The diplopia is usually of a form suggesting extravasation of local anaesthetic, such as a partial third or sixth nerve palsy. It is virtually unheard of for this to fail to resolve. It has also caused the skin to be stretched down tight onto my nose from the bridge to the incision. However, because of the complex structure and function of the eyelids, the potential for complications does exist. Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative, Eye (Eye) Moistened gauze may be placed over the closed eyelids. When needed, lid crease fixation method depends on surgeon's preferences and experience (. The procedure can be carried out under local anaesthesia only or in combination with sedation. The scar has webbed and is also very long and wide. I feel too much skin was taken medially and not enough at the outer side. Lagophthalmos due to internal scarring requires surgical exploration and lysis of the scar tissue. An unsightly complication following blepharoplasty is webbing of the tissue at the medial or lateral canthus. G. J. Leilli and R. D. Lieman, Blepharoplasty complications, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, vol. In the initial consultation, it is important for the surgeon to identify which unrealistic patients can be educated and operated on with confidence, and which ones cannot [1, 2]. If persistent, intense pulse light is a useful adjuvant treatment. Rapid treatment is critical.
