Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the design methodology and efficacy of skin excision in sitting and supine positions of blepharoplasty.Methods:A retrospective study was performed on 31 female patients who received double eyelid surgery at the Department of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, from January to June 2021. The patients ′ ages varied from 18 to 37 years, with a mean age of (26.5±5.2) years. Of the patients, 27 exhibited single eyelids, while 4 presented with shallow double eyelids. All patients demonstrated laxity of the upper eyelid skin. The method of utilizing the sitting and supine positions was employed to determine the extent of skin excision, subsequently leading to full-incision double eyelid surgery. Follow-up was performed through clinic visits and WeChat to monitor double eyelid morphology, complications, and evaluate patient satisfaction. Results:All 31 patients successfully underwent the surgical procedure. Postoperative follow-up duration varied from 3 to 12 months. The double eyelid lines manifested as natural and seamless, with suitable width. All patients exhibited satisfactory eyelid closure, with no instances of ectropion or incomplete eyelid closure. Skin laxity of the upper eyelid was significantly ameliorated in all instances. The patient satisfaction rate was 100% (31/31).Conclusions:The sitting and supine position for executing skin excision in double eyelid surgery is straight forward to implement. Postoperative outcomes demonstrate natural and seamless double eyelid contours, with adequate rectification of upper eyelid skin laxity.
