Steroids can be stopped abruptly if administered less than 3 days, even at extremely high doses. 99, no. In equivocal cases, a posterior lamellar graft can be tried first, and the patient warned that a following procedure with a skin graft may be necessary. 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. Primary acquired cold urticaria. Please see before/after photo on link below (toward bottom of the website page). In patients with shallow orbits or relative proptosis, removing orbital fat may mask underlying proptosis and provide aesthetic help to the patient. The skin incision should still be kept low, perhaps at 5 to 6mm at the most. Burroughs JR, Patrinely JR, Nugent JS, et al: Soparkar CNS, Anderson RL, Pennington J H. Cold urticaria: an underrecognized cause of postsurgical periorbital swelling. 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. Any concomitant rise in intraocular pressure is secondary and treating it will not affect outcome. A partial improvement may be achieved with a posterior lamellar graft and horizontal tightening alone. Assess degree of lacrimal gland prolapse. Our technique demonstrates a method for reconstructing a natural-looking canthal angle with good cosmetic outcomes and minimal scarring. Proptosis, severe pain, decreased visual acuity, relative afferent pupillary defect, and elevated intraocular pressure confirm the diagnosis. Degree of swelling is related to surgical factors such as ecchymosis, cauterization, tissue manipulation, and patient response to surgery. Post-treatment admission to hospital is recommended, with close visual acuity monitoring, head elevation, ice water compresses, and intravenous steroids until 24 hours of stable vision have been noted. 29, no. Thank you. Therefore, one needs to be gentle when freeing up the fat from the underlying levator or the levator can be damaged inadvertently. The authors favor CO2 laser blepharoplasty with a trans-conjunctival lower lid approach. Patient discomfort from suture removal is minimized by using Jewellers forceps and sharp Vannas scissors. Prolonged surgery and reoperation with scarred tissue contribute to swelling and ecchymosis. Because the lateral canthal web appeared to result from vertical tissue deficiency, we employed a surgical technique to transpose adjacent tissue into the area of the web, similar to the technique described by del Campo 2 for the correction of epicanthal folds. Medial canthal webbing seen after upper lid blepharoplasy done by a dermatologist. Similarly, conjunctival chemosis caused by a transconjunctival incision and by drying related to lagophthalmos can cover the puncta, again leading to epiphora. 4, pp. The surgeon must know his or her patients anatomy and distinguish septum from levator. Due to the complexity and intricate nature of eyelid anatomy, complications do exist. Canthal rounding has been reported following periocular tumour or trauma reconstruction [4, 5]. I have inner eyelid webbing following a blepharoplasty 2 years ago. By asking the patient to pull against the levator with the traction suture will help modulate the eyelid height and achieve a more desired height. Wound may be repaired electively in 1 to 2 weeks if it does not close on its own. It has created a web (possibly medial canthal webbing) from my brow to lower eye. Gentle cautery applied to the orbital fat may contour and replace the remaining fat posteriorly into the orbit, providing needed volume and fullness. Despite the use of a lidocaine/marcaine mixture for local anesthetic, it is important to note that this form of diplopia is always gone by the next day. Understanding the differences in anatomy in the occidental and oriental eyelid is essential when performing blepharoplasty surgery in this population. CT scanning the orbits is important, but only after treatment has been carried out. Wanderer AA, Grandel KE, Wasserman SI, Farr RS. Filling in the hollowed areas can be problematic. Intravenous mannitol 20% (12g/kg over 3060minutes). Am J Ophthalmol 1996;121:677. How do you handle them? Mackley CL. Very rarely topical or injected steroids can be used, as true keloids of the eyelid skin are rare. The most serious complication following upper blepharoplasty, Rare, with an estimated incidence of 1:20,000 (Ophthal Surg 1990;21:85). 316320, 1988. Upper blepharoplasty with bony anatomical landmarks to avoid injury to trochlea and superior oblique muscle tendon with fat resection. This paper presents our experience using the single Z-plasty technique to successfully correct lateral canthal webs. Correlation of the vision-related functional impairment associated with blepharoptosis and the impact of blepharoptosis surgery. McKean-Cowdin R, Varma R, Wu J, et al. 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. Excess preaponeurotic and/or nasal fat is removed. Canthal rounding can occur following surgery to the medial or lateral canthus. 466474, 2010. Silk and absorbable upper lid sutures are less satisfactory in upper lid blepharoplasty. Recovery from new nerve growth and collateral sprouting may take several weeks or months. Allergy Asthma Proc 2003; 24:9. 5155, 1996. 7, pp. 21962208, 1998. It is important to tailor the incision upwards at the lateral extent or the hooding will persist. This is seen as a rounded fold of skin and scar tissue inside the normal canthal angle, causing horizontal shortening of the eyelid aperture. Antiglaucoma medications or anterior chamber drainage are treatments aimed at central retinal artery occlusion, not orbital hemorrhage. Patients who experience severe itching, erythema, and progressive conjunctival injection should be advised to discontinue topical ointment due to possible allergy. Medially, this often results from the incision nearing the lid margin too closely or if the incision is extended to far medially or inappropriately angled inferiorly. Heinze JB, Hueston JT. 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). 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. There were five men and seven women. Most patients only need to take 7 days off work. Body dysmorphic disorder. If concerned, the patient can be observed until signs of improvement are noted. What is the standard eyelid surgery recovery time? A posterior lamellar graft is then placed between the cut lower edge of tarsal plate and the recessed cut conjunctival edge. 2 months post upper, lowers, and canthoplasty. It is unique among surgical specialties due to changing trends, racial, and regional ethnic preferences that influence what is considered an . Many surgeons apply a cold compress while the patient is in the recovery area. May be administered in the operating room or preoperative holding area. READ MORE CO2 laser incisions need 7 days to heal, so sutures are removed on day 7 or 8. Visual field is repeated with the eyelids taped up. It has also caused the skin to be stretched down tight onto my nose from the bridge to the incision. He said he stitched the lower outer corner to the top lid! 106, no. Patients should plan to not drive for a week, due to the blurriness caused by the ointment use. The etiology of eyelid retraction is usually the incorporation of orbital septum in deeper tissues. I would like to have this corrected as soon as possible and need advice. Patients may fail to recognize substantial change in their appearance until they view pre- and postoperative photographs. Assess nasal fat pad and preaponeurotic fat pad protrusion. 7175, 1987. 11, pp. Multiple repairs may be required for the optimum result to be achieved. I feel too much skin was taken medially and not enough at the outer side. Mild lower-lid laxity or lateral canthal deformity. Visualized and palpated scar is released aggressively in the postblepharoplasty retraction circumstance, so the lid is freed from attachments to the inferior orbital rim. 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]. Patients may usually resume normal activities within 2448 hours after surgery. Is this resolvable? Incisions should be at least 4 to 5mm above the punctum to avoid the canaliculus. Patients should rest with their head up at least 45 to 60 degrees. 1c). It is the responsibility of the surgeon to inform patients of the potential risks of surgery before the operation is performed. With appropriate case selection, thorough discussion with surgical candidates, and careful surgical technique, most of these can be avoided. In patients (especially males) with prominent skin and orbicularis excess who are not laser candidates, fat is still removed transconjunctivally, the eyelid is tightened horizontally and a conservative skin muscle pinch excision is utilized. Canthoplasty repair for canthal rounding. Patients may prefer to retain or change certain features such as relative hollowness or fullness of the upper eyelid sulcus. May be due to inadvertent trauma, poor wound healing, excessive tension, early suture removal, and infection. Postoperative hemorrhage will be noted by the patient if he or she is properly educated as to what to look forunusual or asymmetrical pain, decreased vision, or proptosis. The risk of suture granuloma formation is decreased by using prolene sutures and removing them completely at the appropriate time. 10391046, 1983. Dysmorphophobia. Photographs of frontal plane and oblique view. Plast Reconstr Surg 1971; 47: 246. Relative merits and disadvantages of addressing concurrent blepharoptosis, eyebrow ptosis, eyelid retraction, and other sources of eyelid, eyebrow and orbital asymmetry can be included in the discussion on proposed blepharoplasty. We report a technique for canthoplasty repair of canthal rounding with the use of illustrative cases. For lower eyelid blepharoplasty in Asians, transconjunctival fat removal yields far superior results to an external approach [34]. Midfacial lifting is beyond the scope of this monograph [30, 31]. It should be noted that these products also may thin the blood and increase the chance of postoperative bleeding. Rapid treatment is critical. Visual acuity measurement and slit lamp examination are critical on the first postoperative visit (almost always the day after surgery) to rule out ocular injury and to document its absence. It is important to elicit particular concerns of each individual patient, and also for the surgeon to identify unrealistic expectations. Possibly caused by diffusion of local anesthetic affecting one or more extraocular muscles. Rapid treatment is critical. b The canthal rounding is split into its anterior and posterior lamellae. In addition, supporting structures such as canthal tendons are tightened. Use the Previous and Next buttons to navigate the slides or the slide controller buttons at the end to navigate through each slide. Mild inner webbing too. The skin and orbicularis oculi muscle form the anterior layers of the upper eyelid. Acute orbital hemorrhage requires prompt intervention. This can also lead to corneal dellen formation, or a dry cornea can break down de novo. Blink dysfunction is common postblepharoplasty because of postoperative swelling of the eyelid tissues. Lateral skin often takes longer to soften and smooth because it is thicker compared to eyelid skin. If youre experiencing a medical issue, please contact a healthcare professional or dial 911 immediately. The information on RealSelf is intended for educational purposes only. 372376, 1998. I am devastated. 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. Extending the marking too far lateral may result in unwanted visible scarring. Secondary revision surgery should remain an option during follow-up treatment and should be considered normal and occasionally necessary within weeks to months after surgery. Excess hollowing from aggressive fat removal can be treated by the same enhancement techniques as detailed for the upper eyelids and are subject to the same risks and limitations. Cicatricial canthal webs. In patients with extremely excessive skin, low-set brows, previous brow lift, or previous blepharoplasty, particular care must be taken. Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. Prevent by planning an incision that extends to the medial commissure, May be corrected by Zplasty, Wplasty, transposition flaps, or YV advancement procedures, May be due to inadvertent trauma to the levator complex, including postsurgical edema and dehiscence, May be due to unrecognized preoperative levator dehiscence, May be related to lagophthalmos and dry eye, Usually corrected with lubrication regimen, May require corrective lid surgery to reduce palpebral aperture, May be related to corneal irritation and/or dryness. If deeper scarring requires release, it should be done at the time of skin graft placement. Depth of excision depends on the preoperative plan. Postoperatively, the patient can aid recovery with a few simple interventionsice water compresses and head elevation. Photos in Fig. The eyelid crease may be between 412mm above the lash line. Absorbable upper lid sutures either in the skin or buried, have a risk of tissue reaction or dehiscence. Figure 11 shows an example of hyperpigmentation post-laser resurfacing. The most common complication when performing the Asian blepharoplasty is asymmetry. N. Shorr, J. D. Christenbury, and R. A. Goldberg, Tarsoconjunctival grafts for upper eyelid cicatricial entropion, Ophthalmic Surgery, vol. Sensory nerve fibers from the supraorbital, supratrochlear, and lacrimal nerves travel in the preorbicularis plane, suborbicularis fascial plane, and within the orbicularis muscle. The commonest form is caused when local anaesthetic is supplemented intraoperatively by direct fat injection once the conjunctiva (lower lid) or skin (upper lid) is open. 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. I had MOHS five weeks ago for squamous cell, a single layer was removed from the upper side of my nose. However, another approach to management to postoperative ptosis is to wait the 3 months and then perform a posterior Fasanella-Servat procedure. Anticoagulants contribute to continued extravasation of blood into the orbit, while comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes may contribute to compromised vascular integrity. Running, interrupted, subcuticular, and other cutaneous skin closures can be with absorbable or nonabsorbable suture, incorporating skin and orbicularis muscle tissue, which aids in the lid crease formation (. The experienced surgeon who is certain that the levator muscle and aponeurosis was identified and preserved during surgery will not be alarmed. 24, no. Blindness following blepharoplasty: two case reports, and a discussion of management. R. A. Ersek, Transplantation of purified autologous fat: a 3-year follow-up is disappointing, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, vol. The surgery involves removing redundant skin, fat, and muscle. Dry eye symptoms may worsen if there is a decreased blink after removal of orbicularis muscle. You are using a browser version with limited support for CSS. It forms a c shape and makes my eyes asymmetrical. It also includes deciding which technique to perform (steel blade versus CO2 laser, transconjunctival versus external approach to lower blepharoplasty). Asian eyelid includes a pretarsal fat pad and may include more volume in the preaponeurotic fat pads. Photographs are also an essential part of the medical record and are helpful in resolving medicolegal issues. If the obstruction is more distal than 8mm from the punctum (unlikely in blepharoplasty surgery), a canaliculo-dacryocystorhinostomy may reconstruct the system. Lowers were performed with transcutaneous approach. May occur with CO2 laser, steel scalpel, radiofrequency needle, or local anesthetic injection. Racial and ethnic facial characteristics including skin type and underlying facial bone structure may be included in discussing alternatives and surgical planning. However, it will always be less cosmetic than a primary blepharoplasty done conservatively, and it may take up to one year to blend in. G. J. Leilli and R. D. Lieman, Blepharoplasty complications, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, vol. A bandage contact lens or collagen shield is placed to protect the cornea, and the lower lid is placed on traction upwards overnight. Blepharoplasty is an operation to modify the contour and configuration of the eyelids in order to restore a more youthful appearance. May be accomplished by securing posterior skin to the levator complex at the superior border of the tarsal plate. There is no consistently effective treatment of hypopigmentation. Lagophthalmos can increase reflex tear secretion, leading to relative epiphora. 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. L. Guo, H. Bi, C. Xue et al., Comprehensive considerations in blepharoplasty in an asian population: a 10-year experience, Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, vol. Severe corneal scarring secondary to severe lagophthalmos after blepharoplasty done in a patient with Thyroid Eye Disease. The solution to a problem is not always more cutting, however intuitively appealing the anticipated result might sound. Incidence of postblepharoplasty orbital hemorrhage and associated visual loss. 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. R. L. Anderson and D. D. Gordy, The tarsal strip procedure, Archives of Ophthalmology, vol. It is, therefore, often wise to avoid further manipulation of the upper lid by taking a donor graft from it. All research was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. The rounding can have a significant component of scar tissue, creating an aesthetic or functional deficit that can be distressing for patients. Lubrication, cool compresses, and observation are essential to resolution. Lazzeri D, Agostini T, Figus M et al: The contribution of Aulus Cornelius Celsus (25 B.C.-50 A.D.) to eyelid surgery. Similarly, if the patient is asked to look up, the orbital septum will not move when grasped but the levator will. Ophthalmology 1999; 106:1705. 3, pp. Orbital hematoma, ectropion, and scleral show. Eyelid sensation after supratarsal lid crease incision. Swelling and bruising you may have will be virtually gone by day 10. Especially on one side more than the other! 6, pp. Lower eyelid skin excision or laser resurfacing (or neither) is another key decision. 8589, 1990. 3, pp. In men, the brow protrudes more anteriorly, and the eyelid crease is closer to the eyelid margin. 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. J Allergy Clin Immunol 1986; 78:417. Unfortunately, even with careful patient selection and surgical planning, and an uneventful perioperative period, some patients may be dissatisfied with their results. 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. Lowering a high lid crease has a lower success rate. Increased risk exists in the patient with proptosis, such as a patient with thyroid eye disease or the patient with a large or projecting glaucoma bleb. 366368, 1969. Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative, Eye (Eye) 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. The risk is failure, with reemphasis, doubling, or other scarring of the existing low crease. Tenzel RR: Complications of blepharoplasty. 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. 12, no. In darker-skinned patients at risk for reactive posttreatment hyperpigmentation, pre and posttreatment with topical Retin-A and bleaching creams can be utilized. Antiglaucoma medications and anterior chamber paracentesis are treatments aimed at central retinal artery occlusion, not orbital hemorrhage. Patients may inadvertently rub their eyes in the hours after surgery when their lids are numb or while sleeping. In the meantime, to ensure continued support, we are displaying the site without styles While we do connect people with vetted, board-certified doctors, we dont provide medical consultations, diagnosis, or advice. 5, pp. j and k Posterior flap is folded over and sutured into the new inferior lid margin. The patient has severe symptomatic lagophthalmos as well as an unsightly appearance. Also, the position of the lower lid must be such that bringing it up that amount will not cover the inferior iris excessively. 125, no. Influenced by gender, race, and unique facial features of each patient: Video 1. Control of obvious bleeding points, if present is important. A. N. Hass, R. B. Penne, M. A. Stefanyszyn, and J. C.
