Abstract: Objective To explore the applied values of ultra-pulse CO2 laser in blepharoplasty by shortening procedure time, improving the surgical satisfactory result and alleviating the operative and postoperative hemorrhage. Methods 238 patients with bulging, redundant skin in the upper and lower eye lids, including brow lift (26 cases), double eye lid surgery (48 cases), and lower lash line incision (159 cases). Laser incision was implemented with the ultra-pulse CO2 laser system. Results Bleeding was scant in 238 cases and hence local swelling subsided quickly with excellent healing. No eetropion, he-matoma and diplopia ever occurred. 3 months to 3 years follow-up showed satisfactory for all the patients. The result was quite satisfied in clinical observation and postoperative follow-up. Conclusion Utilizing the ultra-pulse CO2 laser in blepharoplasty has confirmed the satifisfatory surgical results, decreasing the surgical time, and reducing the intraoperative and postoperative bleeding.
