If deeper scarring requires release, it should be done at the time of skin graft placement. Similarly, if the patient is asked to look up, the orbital septum will not move when grasped but the levator will. Racial and ethnic facial characteristics including skin type and underlying facial bone structure may be included in discussing alternatives and surgical planning. Mackley CL. T. R. Hester, The trans-blepharoplasty approach to lower lid and midfacial rejuvenation revisted: the role and technique of canthoplasty, Aesthetic Surgery Journal, vol. 2, pp. The addition of epinephrine to local anesthetic solutions prolongs the duration of action of the anesthetic agent and may reduce intraoperative bleeding. The swelling can also cause the puncta to turn inwards or evert by swelling or tissue contraction caused by incision lines or laser resurfacing, which also causes epiphora. 10391046, 1983. Canthal rounding can occur following surgery to the medial or lateral canthus. This can also lead to corneal dellen formation, or a dry cornea can break down de novo. Local anaesthetic infiltration in between the anterior and posterior lamella can help hydrodissect the layers prior to surgical separation of the layers. Nonsedating antihistamines may help control cold-induced symptoms. Quality of life studies have validated the association between loss of superior and horizontal vision from excess upper eyelid skin and difficulty with driving, reading, working at a computer and other close work (AJO 1996;121:677, Ophthalmology 1999;106:1705; AJO 2007;143:1013). The skin and orbicularis, lid margin, conjunctiva, and lower lid retractors are removed from the excess eyelid laterally, creating a lateral tarsal strip which is then anchored to Whitnalls tubercle inside the lateral orbital rim. It is often necessary to tighten the lower eyelid at the time of blepharoplasty. Dermatitis: Chronic dermatitis caused by redundant skin is an indication for surgery. Lid crease fixation is not always necessary. CO2 laser incisions need 7 days to heal, so sutures are removed on day 7 or 8. Twelve patients with post-surgical canthal rounding were included. 3, no. Prospective analysis of changes in corneal topography after upper eyelid surgery. This is because they cause more harm than good. Not only the surgeon but also the patient should be aware of preoperative asymmetry and the potential for minor touch up operations. 797802, 1981. 122, no. Body dysmorphic disorder. Surgery can cost all different from street to street, even blocks to blocks in the same city, depending on the surgeon's reputation, skill and experiences. Beyond this time period, one may be over treating the patient and exposing them to additional complications with very little prospect of improvement. Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. It aims to improve the appearance of the lower eyelids by addressing skin laxity, fat prominence, and adjusting the lower eyelid position. Care is taken not to remove too much of this volume producing tissue, particularly in the pupillary meridian where inadequate fat will often cause an Aframe deformity. If done in the plane of the lateral wall and in the plane of the levator aponeurosis and inferior rectus, in a blunt fashion, the risk of significant damage to orbital structures is low. 1f). Lid crease asymmetry is usually corrected by raising the lower eyelid crease. Restoring palpebral fissure shape after previous lower blepharoplasty. Is this resolvable? The flaps are secured into their new positions with interrupted vicryl 6/0 sutures (Fig. We report a technique for canthoplasty repair of canthal rounding with the use of illustrative cases. It is rare that true bony decompression either at bedside through the inferomedial floor or more fully in the operating room is required. The skin incision should still be kept low, perhaps at 5 to 6mm at the most. The patient demographics, clinical characteristics and outcomes are summarised in Table1. The surgeon should spread bluntly posteriorly into the orbit down the lateral wall and through the wounds to access deep hematomas and release them. If the incision line is a slightly thick and red at 4 weeks, then time, massage, and vitamin E cream is useful. Often lateral where there is increased vertical tension. Remember that the levator aponeurosis is the stage on which the fat removal of upper blepharoplasty is played; and it is natural for early postoperative dysfunction to occasionally be seen. Frequency of cold compresses is decreased as the effectiveness of this therapy lessens. Patient selection and patient satisfaction. In late cases, the relative contribution of lid laxity, skin shortage, and middle lamellar scarring is assessed by the three finger test. Visual field is repeated with the eyelids taped up. There were no peri- or post-operative complications. More effect (in terms of lifting skin off the eyelashes) for less skin excision can be achieved by creating a higher lid crease during the blepharoplasty. Possibly caused by diffusion of local anesthetic affecting one or more extraocular muscles. The patient was given topical steroids by his original surgeon, resulting in untreated intraocular pressure of 45OU. R. Z. Silkiss and H. I. Baylis, Autogenous fat grafting by injection, Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, vol. 5, pp. Especially on one side more than the other! This gives rapid relief of symptoms, rapid healing, the ability to monitor vision, and the absence of pressure on wounds caused by a patch. Perin LF, Helene A, Fraga MF. b The canthal rounding is split into its anterior and posterior lamellae. h Flap is marked. 4, pp. http://tabanmd.com/gallery/revisional-eyelid/. Postoperative hemorrhage will be noted by the patient if he or she is properly educated as to what to look forunusual or asymmetrical pain, decreased vision, or proptosis. If youre experiencing a medical issue, please contact a healthcare professional or dial 911 immediately. Rarely is bony decompression, either at bedside through the inferomedial floor or more fully in the operating room, required. Septum must be opened if fat is to be removed, but not the levator. Aspirin products: Ecotrin, Fiorinal, Percodan, Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: ibuprofen, naproxen, piroxicam, Nutritional supplements: fish oil, vitamin E, gingko biloba, ginseng. Lowering a high lid crease has a lower success rate. ISSN 1476-5454 (online) The primary insertion of the levator aponeurosis into the orbicularis muscle and into the upper eyelid skin occurs closer to the eyelid margin in Asians. Alternatively, removing anterior fat may unmask the underlying proptosis, and care should be exercised. The lid is placed on upward traction to facilitate this process, and an appropriately sized full-thickness graft is contoured to fit the defect after the eyelid is tightened horizontally. 6, pp. 21922196, 1979. Visual field loss increases the risk of falls in older adults: the Salisbury Eye Evaluation. Rapid treatment is critical. Median follow up was 12 months (range: 1.548). If essential, a lower incision is made and fat is teased forward between the skin and levator to prevent readhesion of these structures. Bruising will be experienced by every blepharoplasty patient, so it is not really a complication so much as an expected side effect. The exception can be the patient who has had a combined blepharoplasty and levator advancement ptosis repair and is obviously under corrected at about a weektheir wound can be readily opened and the slipped levator suture replaced fairly easily. Retrobulbar hemorrhage is a form of compartment syndrome, with the orbit bounded by four bony walls and the orbital septum acting as the compartment. If a second finger is required in the central eyelid pushing upward, usually a posterior-lamellar graft is required. If suspicious that an orbital hemorrhage has occurred, laser eye protectors (metallic scleral contact lenses) block vision and must be removed to assess the visual acuity. Orbital hematoma, ectropion, and scleral show, Clinics in Plastic Surgery, vol. In the tenth century, Middle Eastern surgeons described removal of excess eyelid skin to improve vision. Blindness following blepharoplasty: two case reports, and a discussion of management. Nonlaser-induced postoperative hyperpigmentation can result from hematoma formation and excess sun exposure. When CO2 laser is used, protective corneal shields are used and laser is always directed away from the globe when cutting. In darker-skinned patients at risk for reactive posttreatment hyperpigmentation, pre and posttreatment with topical Retin-A and bleaching creams can be utilized. Hard palate mucosa is commonly utilized for the graft [1419]. R. A. Goldberg, M. F. Marmor, N. Shorr, and J. D. Christenbury, Blindness following blepharoplasty: two case reports, and a discussion of management, Ophthalmic Surgery, vol. The rounding can have a significant component of scar tissue, creating an aesthetic or functional deficit that can be distressing for patients. B. C. K. Patel, M. Patipa, R. L. Anderson, and W. McLeish, Management of postblepharoplasty lower eyelid retraction with hard palate grafts and lateral tarsal strip, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, vol. Nonabsorbable sutures are removed 714 days after surgery. May be due to inadvertent trauma to the levator complex, including postsurgical edema and . If pigment is present without fat herniation, treatment with skin bleaching agents can be tried first. A test spot can be offered the patient although a good result with the test spot is not a guarantee of subsequent good results. This skin incision height is often quit low, 3 to 5mm depending on the preoperative consultation measurements. Also, avoid excess cautery to the levator. I had eyelid surgery one year ago and have been left with a very unsightly scar. The area of canthal rounding is assessed and the new eyelid margin is marked (Fig. Because of the complexities in modifying the overcorrected upper lid, a more mild degree of symptomatic lagophthalmos can be addressed via lower lid elevation with lower lid posterior lamellar grafting, as detailed in the next section. Correlation of the vision-related functional impairment associated with blepharoptosis and the impact of blepharoptosis surgery. Aulus Cornelius Celsus was a first-century Roman who described making an incision in the skin to relax the eyelids (Orbit 2012;31:162). Patient 3: Left lateral canthal rounding following tumour excision and reconstructionsingle flap technique. If the lid crease is marked 8 mm above the lash margin, for example, the upper edge of the incision should be 12 mm below the brow margin. If a definite levator laceration is observed, it should be repaired if it is causing ptosis. 99, no. This is due to more rapid and wider diffusion of the local anaesthetic agent, affecting other structures such as cranial nerves. The punctum is a useful landmark for the upper lid and lower lid incision. However, this was not encountered in our patient group. Another useful technique is to leave the traction suture in beyond one week. C. M. Stephenson and B. I had an upper bleph three weeks ago (22 days out). d The posterior flap is created. Lewis CM, Lavell S, Simpson MF. Google Scholar. Swelling and bruising you may have will be virtually gone by day 10. In Asians, the orbital septum fuses to the levator aponeurosis at variable distances below the superior tarsal border, Preaponeurotic fat pad protrusion and a thick subcutaneous fat layer prevent levator fibers from extending toward the skin near the superior tarsal border. It requires medial canthal scar revision with multiple z-plasty. Interrupted sutures are used to reapproximate the wound edges. Retrobulbar hemorrhage is a form of compartment syndrome, with pressure rising abruptly within the fixed 4 walls of the orbit. Unfortunately, even with careful patient selection and surgical planning, and an uneventful perioperative period, some patients may be dissatisfied with their results. The skin taken has made a hollow that makes the overhang look worse. There were no peri- or post-operative complications. The tissue to be excised is grasped with a forceps and meticulously dissected along the intended plane. My eyes were lovely and i fear Ive ruined them.I think Im a difficult as my eyes were good before and I wanted just a tweak. 604606, 1989. Many people never had a full wide open upper lid and appeared heavy-lidded in younger years and their lid crease height is at 7mm, not 10mm. j and k Posterior flap is folded over and sutured into the new inferior lid margin. Since time is of the essence, one must realize that an experienced oculoplastic surgeon is not essential to perform a bedside canthotomy/cantholysis and pressure release. Therefore, it is critical to release the septum from these deeper tissues. Narcissists as 'victims': the role of narcissism in the perception of transgressions. 5, pp. Am J Ophthalmol 2007;143:1013. Postoperative patches and bandages are removed in the recovery room to permit early detection of postoperative bleeding. Visualized and palpated scar is released aggressively in the postblepharoplasty retraction circumstance, so the lid is freed from attachments to the inferior orbital rim. Blindness and embolic stroke can occur with accidental intravenous or intra-arterial injection of these materials, particularly near the supraorbital vessels [10, 11]. Postoperative eyelid edema and levator edema are common and are temporary causes of ptosis. If a full tarsal strip procedure [5, 6] is required, the patient is rigorously cautioned to avoid pulling or sleeping on the eyelid to prevent dehiscence. Facial plastic and reconstructive surgery is a remarkably diverse specialty, ranging from maxillofacial trauma and reconstruction to facial rejuvenation, rhinoplasty, cleft surgery, microvascular surgery, facial cosmetic procedures, and pain control. 10361040, 1999. Wilhelmi BJ, Mowlavi A, Neumeister, MW. Secondary upper lid lengthening can also be done posteriorly if adequate skin grafting has already been carried out, thereby avoiding another skin incision. Anticoagulants may increase the risk of postoperative bleeding. Once patients concerns are identified, the surgeon should inquire about cardiac and thyroid disease, hypertension, diabetes, bleeding diathesis, and keloid scar formation. In conclusion, our technique demonstrates a method for reconstructing a natural-looking canthal angle with good cosmetic outcomes and minimal scarring. Massry GG. Fronto-ethmoidal external approaches and more rarely external DCR and blepharoplasty represent the commonest iatrogenic causes of medial canthal webbing. Secondary revision surgery should remain an option during follow-up treatment and should be considered normal and occasionally necessary within weeks to months after surgery. Patients should plan to not drive for a week, due to the blurriness caused by the ointment use. Absorbable upper lid sutures either in the skin or buried, have a risk of tissue reaction or dehiscence. Ophthalmology. Primary acquired cold urticaria. Is it possible my plastic surgeon injured my tear duct by cutting too far in? Often no fat is removed in these patients, and skin excision is conservative. The scar has webbed and is also very long and wide. Massage and steroid injections can help. Emerg Med Clin North Am 1998; 16:689. My case seems quite complex compared to other cases of rounding I have seen: there appears to be a split between the lower eyelid and the webbing as opposed to the whole angle being blunted. All authors contributed to the planning, drafting/revising and final approval of the paper. The oblique divides the medial lower fat pad from the central lower fat pad and it should be easily identified, and thus protected. Difficult to rectify? In the Asian upper eyelid, there is a lower fusion point between the orbital septum and the levator aponeurosis, which allows orbital fat to descend further down in addition to the increased fat in the preseptal fibroadipose layer. Rapid release of orbital pressure by opening the wound, releasing the lid with a lateral canthotomy with inferior and/or superior cantholysis, is most important. These are investigated and followed in the normal fashion for such conditions. Blepharoplasty is a widely practiced successful operation. What is the standard eyelid surgery recovery time? Anecdotally, these techniques involve dividing the rounded canthus, with or without the use of bolsters, to try and prevent re-adhesion of the new margins. 466474, 2010. I had an upper eyelid surgery six months ago and it has been a disaster. Patients with vitiligo may have an increased risk of hypopigmentation. Hass AN, Penne RB, Stefanyszyn MA, Flanagan JC. It forms a c shape and makes my eyes asymmetrical. Despite the use of a lidocaine/marcaine mixture for local anesthetic, it is important to note that this form of diplopia is always gone by the next day. Elimination of topical allergy, and occasionally short-term topical steroid use are helpful. 417425, 1993. Various compositions of bleaching creams have been published, containing combinations of hydroquinone, glycolic acid, kojic acid, retinoic acid, and hydrocortisone. Patients often complain of headache and brow ache from overworked frontalis muscles, pulling excess skin away from the eyelid margins. Photos in Fig. The surgery involves removing redundant skin, fat, and muscle. With an acute hemorrhage, intraorbital pressure rises abruptly, and the blood supply to the optic nerve is compromised. 1h) then split into its anterior and posterior lamellae as described earlier. The two fuse low in the upper eyelid, so the inexperienced surgeon is well advised to open the septum high up where there is a good barrier of preaponeurotic fat underneath to protect the levator. You are using a browser version with limited support for CSS. R. A. Ersek, Transplantation of purified autologous fat: a 3-year follow-up is disappointing, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, vol. The experienced surgeon who is certain that the levator muscle and aponeurosis was identified and preserved during surgery will not be alarmed. 1, pp. Interrupted suture placement can incorporate superficial fibers of levator aponeurosis just above the superior edge of the tarsal plate. On average, this amount is between 1 to 2mm. 2005; 21:327. However, rapid release of orbital pressure by opening the wound, lateral canthotomy and inferior and/or superior cantholysis is critical. The conjunctivalised tissue appears effective at increasing the lid aperture and preventing re-adhesions, even when only a single flap is used and one lid margin is left to granulate. The horizontal laxity of the tarsoligamentous sling of the lower eyelid is often overlooked at the time of surgery, which allows the other abnormalities to manifest themselves after surgery [12, 13]. Review of old or family photographs may be helpful in clarifying preferences and objectives. Figure 2 shows an example of upper lid retraction secondary to upper lid overcorrection. 7175, 1987. Adams J, Murray R. The general approach to the difficult patient. If brow ptosis is present, straight-ahead photograph with eyebrows elevated by the patient demonstrates compensation. A lateral canthal web is a known complication of blepharoplasty. 3, pp. Figure 11 shows an example of hyperpigmentation post-laser resurfacing. G. Y. Shaw and J. Khan, The management of ectropion using the tarsoconjunctival composite graft, Archives of Otolaryngology, vol. Cicatricial canthal webs. R. L. Anderson and D. D. Gordy, The tarsal strip procedure, Archives of Ophthalmology, vol. How risky is this to correct and when is it safe to do? You have full access to this article via your institution. Clin Plast Surg 1983; 10:321. Another outcome noted by patients is asymmetry of lateral hooding reduction. 767771, 1990. Im losing faith in him though and am looking elsewhere for revision. When skin shortage dictates skin graft placement, the technique is similar to that for other forms of cicatricial ectropion. The lid should be kept on upward traction 1 to 7 days with a frost suture to the lateral eyebrow [28, 29]. It must be understood that old photographs do not represent a guarantee or even a goal, but rather act as a guidepost. Orbit 2012; 31:162. Patients taking aspirin, anticoagulants, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, vitamin E, gingko, and other herbal medications should stop them, if possible, up to 3 weeks preoperatively. The information on RealSelf is intended for educational purposes only. Absorbable sutures vary in rate of absorption and degree of inflammation often they are removed as well. Therefore, careful incision planning and meticulous surgery will minimize this problem. All patients except one reported good surgical outcomes, defined as cosmetically and functionally acceptable result to the patient and surgeon, after one procedure. Ophthal Plast Reconstr Surg. 6, pp. PubMedGoogle Scholar. Complications of blepharoplasty can be minor or serious. It is important to tailor the incision upwards at the lateral extent or the hooding will persist. B. Laser can be used to expose the superficial fibers of the levator for incorporation into the skin closure.
