Application of infraeyebrow blepharoplasty for bubble-eye deformity by removing both preseptal fat tissue and fat pad under orbicularis oculi
Objective To determine the effects of infraeyebrow blepharoplasty for bubble-eye deformity by removing both preseptal fat tissue and fat pad under orbicularis oculi. Methods A total of 32 cases who receiving above mentioned surgical techniques in our department from December 2009 to August 2012 were enrolled and retrospectively analyzed in this study. The ectopic lacrimal gland was restored at the same time if it was discovered. In 5 to 7 d after surgery
the sutures were removed
and the patients were followed up for 3 to 18 monthes. Down-time
swelling
surgical scar and clinical outcomes were observed and recorded. Results In all patients
swelling was slight
and then disappeared in 5 to 6 d after removing the sutures. The down-time caused by surgery was only 2.3 d in average
ranging from 1 to 5 d. During the following-up
blepharochalasis was significantly corrected
and along with the mitigation of Crow’s feet in 17 cases. All surgical scars were almost undetectable
as well as the baggy appearance with the loss of the distention in 1/3 out of upper eyelid. Conclusion Infraeyebrow blepharoplasty for bubble-eye deformity by removing both preseptal fat tissue and fat pad under orbicularis oculi
along with restoring the ectopic lacrimal gland
is a effective surgical approach for correcting bubble eye deformity based on anatomy discovery
