Abstract (original English)
Lower blepharoplasty is one of the most common cosmetic rejuvenation procedures. Occasionally, adverse effects of the operation, ranging from operated and somewhat flattened unnatural look of the lower eyelid region to more severe cases of ectropion, retraction leading to functional disabilities, further compound the problem. The author has developed a technique focusing on two aspects in terms of the outcome of the operation in developing a technique that ensures a uniformly consistent and esthetically perceptible result. The anatomic basis for the technique is reviewed and described. We performed lower blepharoplasty using the septo-capsulopalpebral fascial recession flap. The procedure requires skin incision, maintenance of pretarsal muscular roll, skin-muscle flap elevation, orbital septum release, orbital fat removal, septo-capsulopalpebral recession flap, skin excision, and closure. No complications have occurred in 453 patients, including hematoma and dry eye. Lid malposition such as entropion or lagophthalmos was not seen in any patient. Regardless of the preoperative variations in the lower lid, the method corrected the prolapsed lower eyelid and provided satisfactory esthetic result after the operation. Recurrences have not been observed during the follow-up period. Lower blepharoplasty using the septo-capsulopalpebral fascial recession flap is effective to correct ba
What this study does not prove
- • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
- • This is a narrative review: it collects no new patient data and does not systematically appraise evidence quality.
