Abstract:
Objective:To measure the partial parameters of the soft tissues of upper eyelid in young women with single eyelid in Shantou City, Guangdong Province, and to explore the asymmetry rate of the left and right palpebral fissure and its regularity.Methods:From March 2018 to July 2019, the Medical Cosmetology Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College measured 108 young women with single eyelid, aged 18-35 years, with an average age of 24.6 years. Before operation, palpebral fissure width (PFW), palpebral fissure height (PFH), palpebral fissure inclination (PFI) and central eyebrow height (CEH) were measured. The resected intra-orbital septum fat pad during the procedure was weighed. Both direct measurement and the photo measurement were used to obtain the average value of the two sets of data for final analysis. We calculated out the incidence rate of asymmetry of each palpebral item.Results:The paired t-test showed that the mean value of PFW was (25.76±1.50) mm on the left and (26.04±1.55) mm on the right ( t=2.93); the mean value of PFH was (9.70±1.15) mm on the left and (9.49±1.05) mm on the right ( t=3.12); the mean value of PFI was (9.77±2.57)° on the left and (9.67±2.28)° on the right ( t=2.01); the mean value of CEH was (12.05±1.61) mm on the left and (12.32±1.69) mm on the right ( t=-2.66); the mean value of the weight of the intra-orbital septum fat pad was (0.20±0.11) g on the left and (0.22±0.12) g on the right ( t=2.29). There were significant differences between the two sets of data (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The asymmetric phenomenon of the upper eyelid is commonly found in Shantou young female undergraduates, in which the PFH in the left is higher than that in the left; the PFW, the CEH, the weight of the intra-orbital septum fat pad in the right more commonly found than that in the left.. This study provides a certain reference for the clinical evaluation of the operation.
