| Abstract |
PURPOSE
The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty combined with the pinch skin excision technique. METHODS: This study followed 15 patients over a six-month period who had undergone transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty combined with the pinch skin excision technique. The follow-up period exceeded 6 months. After subconjunctival injection of local anesthetic, incisions of the conjunctiva and lower lid retractors were made. The exposed fat pads were excised by clamping, excising, and cauterizing the base of the pad. The conjunctiva was closed with a continuous 6-0 Vicryl suture. If there was mild skin excess, a pinch skin excision technique was used. RESULTS: There were no complications (i.e., lower eyelid retraction, ectropion, etc.). All 15 patients were satisfied with the final result. CONCLUSIONS: The transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty combined with the pinch skin excision technique in middle-aged patients with prominent lower eyelid fat and skin excess had lower complication rates and higher patient satisfaction than the transcutaneous approach. |
