Antibiotic ointment may be placed over incision. If the patient continues to have difficulty describing or demonstrating what he or she desires changed, and into what, it obligates the surgeon to promote discussion or present alternatives until clear agreement occursotherwise, surgery should not be done. It seems my canthoplasty has failed. Nonsedating antihistamines may help control cold-induced symptoms. B. b. 5, pp. Pre- and post-operative photographs of selected cases are shown in Fig. May be due to incision extended too far medially. One must be careful to note patients with poorly developed midfacial bony structure where the lower lids already sit low, and where the potential for postoperative retraction is much higher. Pronounced or prolonged erythema is relatively uncommon and can be treated with topical 1% hydrocortisone cream or intense pulsed light treatments. Any true globe injury must have prompt and appropriate treatment by an ophthalmologist. In the tenth century, Middle Eastern surgeons described removal of excess eyelid skin to improve vision. 7, pp. The skin incision should still be kept low, perhaps at 5 to 6mm at the most. Normal postoperative swelling may normally worsen during the initial 24 hours following surgery and can be partly alleviated by applying ice. Hi. You are using a browser version with limited support for CSS. It requires medial canthal scar revision with multiple z-plasty. I have inner eyelid webbing following a blepharoplasty 2 years ago. Filling in the hollowed areas can be problematic. There were no peri- or post-operative complications. Arch Ophthalmol 1999; 117:907. Lower blepharoplasty is one of the most common facial plastic surgery. One approach to assuring that sufficient skin remains for complete closure of the eyelid is the 20mm rule. Unfortunately, even with careful patient selection and surgical planning, and an uneventful perioperative period, some patients may be dissatisfied with their results. I would like to have this corrected as soon as possible and need advice. Plast Reconstr Surg 2010; 125:1017. Medial canthal webbing. Progressive postoperative periorbital inflammation may indicate infection, allergy to topical medication and rarely primary acquired cold urticaria (PACU). This skin incision height is often quit low, 3 to 5mm depending on the preoperative consultation measurements. Some surgeons prefer to place a corneal protector in each eye. This is a retrospective case series describing the technique using illustrative cases from across three sites (London [UK], Adelaide [Australia], Sydney [Australia]). J. If canthotomies have not restored vision, spreading bluntly posteriorly into the orbit along the lateral wall to access deep hematomas and release them, may be helpful. Fat pearls, fat injections, dermis fat grafts, and alloplastic injections can be tried. Adams J, Murray R. The general approach to the difficult patient. The canthal rounding is split into its anterior and posterior lamellae using a 15-blade followed by Westcott spring scissors (Fig. Primary acquired cold urticaria. 12, no. Z. Reassuring the patient that privacy will be maintained helps facilitate the patients ability to articulate his or her desired outcome. 21962208, 1998. Aulus Cornelius Celsus was a first-century Roman who described making an incision in the skin to relax the eyelids (Orbit 2012;31:162). Millman AL, Williams JD, Romo T, Taggert N. Septal-myocutaneous flap technique for lower lid blepharoplasty. Patient 3: Left lateral canthal rounding following tumour excision and reconstructionsingle flap technique. Nonabsorbable sutures are removed 714 days after surgery. 1a). Similarly, when using the CO2 laser to cut fat lobules free, one needs a back stop (usually a Q-tip) to absorb the transmitted laser energy and avoid damage to the structures that lie beneath (levator, Mullers muscle, conjunctiva and globe). 87, no. Medially, this often results from the incision nearing the lid margin too closely or if the incision is extended to far medially or inappropriately angled inferiorly. Up and down gaze photographs document levator excursion. h Flap is marked. Is this resolvable? Cautery to achieve hemostasis may affect nerve or muscle. Interrupted suture placement can incorporate superficial fibers of levator aponeurosis just above the superior edge of the tarsal plate. 2, pp. 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. 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. Even well-adjusted patients will perceive and focus on asymmetry caused by bruising and swelling or discomfort during the early postoperative period. After 24 hours of spinal-trauma dose level of steroids (solumedrol 30mg/kg bolus over 15 minutes followed by 5.4mg/kg per hour) without response, one can discontinue the drug, possibly after repeat imaging. Twelve patients have undergone this surgical technique for correction of post-surgical canthal rounding. Upper blepharoplasty can yield significant functional and aesthetic benefits for patients. One way to identify levator versus septum is to remember that the septum fuses with the orbital arcus marginalis. Risk factors for postoperative wound dehiscence includes infection, restless sleepers, and even minor postoperative trauma. When CO2 laser is used, protective corneal shields are used and laser is always directed away from the globe when cutting. Ice packs or frozen masks are too heavy, which may damage the eyelid tissues or dehisce wounds. Blindness and embolic stroke can occur with accidental intravenous or intra-arterial injection of these materials, particularly near the supraorbital vessels [10, 11]. If a definite levator laceration is observed, it should be repaired if it is causing ptosis. Alternatively, removing anterior fat may unmask the underlying proptosis, and care should be exercised. Unfortunately, treatment beyond 1 to 6 hours of total or near-total vision loss is unlikely to be effective. Fat removal will help the first two causes, and laser skin resurfacing can aid the third if the pigment is relatively superficial. Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. If a third finger is required to recruit skin by pushing the mid face up, skin grafting or possible mid face lifting may be necessary. Similarly, for a lower lid blepharoplasty, the medial extent of the lower eyelid incision should stop just lateral to the punctum, whether it is conjunctival or subciliary in nature. 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. The information on RealSelf is intended for educational purposes only. This is particularly important if incisions are made with the CO2 laser. Ptosis of varying degree is common for patients to experience the day after upper lid blepharoplasty. Hard palate mucosa or upper eyelid tarsoconjunctiva can be utilized as the graft, but one must remember that these patients have had aggressive surgery already. Other conditions such as ptosis, brow ptosis, entropion, ectropion, or eyelid retraction may also need to be corrected at the time a blepharoplasty is performed to ensure the best functional and aesthetic result. 18, no. I am 13 days post op. 21922196, 1979. The surgery involves removing redundant skin, fat, and muscle. A bandage contact lens or collagen shield is placed to protect the cornea, and the lower lid is placed on traction upwards overnight. Lateral skin often takes longer to soften and smooth because it is thicker compared to eyelid skin. R. R. Tenzel, Complications of blepharoplasty. Blood supply to critical structures including the optic nerve become compromised. 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. It has been shown that elderly people have a greater risk of falling if they have excess upper eyelid skin obstructing their visual field (Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 2007;48:4445). M. J. Hawes and G. A. Jamell, Complications of tarsoconjunctival grafts, Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, vol. Antiglaucoma medications or anterior chamber drainage are treatments aimed at central retinal artery occlusion, not orbital hemorrhage. Google Scholar. 4, pp. 2, pp. Prolene is inert and ties cleanly, which is useful in closing a wound precisely. T. R. Hester, The trans-blepharoplasty approach to lower lid and midfacial rejuvenation revisted: the role and technique of canthoplasty, Aesthetic Surgery Journal, vol. 29, no. Dysmorphophobia. Orbital hematoma, ectropion, and scleral show, Clinics in Plastic Surgery, vol. (Remember there is an increased rate of dehiscence of the periosteal attachment in these circumstances.) Prevent and treat with careful preop evaluation and perioperative artificial tears, ointments, punctal plugs, etc. im interested in revision double eyelid surgery as i want a thicker crease + parallel. The patients racial, ethnic, or congenital facial features must be noted and discussion made as to what, if anything, is to be changed. The lower lateral marking is extended to the orbital rim or end of the eyebrow and may course superiorly or follow existing creases to meet the upper mark. If early cicatrix formation is detected, local nondepot steroid injection can occasionally eliminate the need for more involved surgery. I had an upper bleph three weeks ago (22 days out). Adjunctive procedures include brow ptosis repair (internal trans-blepharoplasty, direct, coronal, or endoscopic), ptosis repair, lacrimal gland suspension, eyelid lengthening, and lower eyelid tightening or lateral canthopexy. Fronto-ethmoidal external approaches and more rarely external DCR and blepharoplasty represent the commonest iatrogenic causes of medial canthal webbing. Canthal web revision (Canthoplasty, Revision Canthoplasty) The area where the upper and lower lids meet is called the canthus. The laser must always be directed away from the globe even through eye shields are in place. 24, no. Incidence of postblepharoplasty orbital hemorrhage and associated visual loss. If the surgeon thought to preserve the excised skin in moist gauze, this can be utilized up to one week postoperatively. Persistent cases are treated by a V- to-Y plasty procedure. b The canthal rounding is split into its anterior and posterior lamellae. 81, no. There are currently 25 Eyelid Surgery + Webbing questions and doctor answers on RealSelf. Fortunately, with time, these tend to diminish. Brown, The use of tarsus as a free autogenous graft in eyelid surgery, Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, vol. It is important to tailor the incision upwards at the lateral extent or the hooding will persist. As the surgeon, it is important to be aware of the potential complications of surgery. Burroughs JR, Patrinely JR, Nugent JS, et al: Soparkar CNS, Anderson RL, Pennington J H. Cold urticaria: an underrecognized cause of postsurgical periorbital swelling. The surgeon must know his or her patients anatomy and distinguish septum from levator. The procedure can be carried out under local anaesthesia only or in combination with sedation. Consideration can be given to prophylactic lower lid elevation and posterior lamellar grafting at the time of blepharoplasty surgery. I have started massaging the area and wearing silicone strips at night. Can J Ophthalmol 2003; 38:223. Visual field loss increases the risk of falls in older adults: the Salisbury Eye Evaluation. Due to the complexity and intricate nature of eyelid anatomy, complications do exist. I am devastated. If essential, a lower incision is made and fat is teased forward between the skin and levator to prevent readhesion of these structures. Do I have any good options? The use of the CO2 laser and maintaining a dry surgical field with bipolar cautery or by defocusing the CO2 laser will minimize the occurrence of postoperative ecchymosis. 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. Extending the marking too far lateral may result in unwanted visible scarring. In one patient there was rounding recurrence. Patient education and cold avoidance are the primary means of treatment. Steroids can be stopped without taper if administered less than 3 days, even at extremely high doses. The incision, which is made along the previously marked lines, can be made with a 15Bard Parker blade, an incisional CO2 laser, a diamond blade, or a needle-tipped Bovie or radiofrequency instrument. The information on RealSelf is intended for educational purposes only. 125, article 1017, 2010. Recognizing that orbital haemorrhage with vision loss is a possible although rare complication from blepharoplasty surgery is important. Patients with unrealistic expectations may perceive an operative complication after uncomplicated surgery. 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 posterior flap is cut along the new superior lid margin and folded downwards before being secured into its new position as described earlier (Fig. Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. Preoperative preparation may include asking the patient to stop smoking, reduce alcohol intake, and optimize overall general health. 1d and 1e). Excessive trauma to the levator muscle, levator aponeurosis, and pre-aponeurotic fat pad can result in upper lid retraction, scleral show, and lagophthalmos. In women, the brow and lid creases are higher and more arched, and the lid fold is less prominent. 2 were supplied by DS and NJ. Canthoplasty repair for canthal rounding. Complications of blepharoplasty can be minor or serious. Anyone you share the following link with will be able to read this content: Sorry, a shareable link is not currently available for this article. Elimination of topical allergy, and occasionally short-term topical steroid use are helpful. On average, this amount is between 1 to 2mm. Relative . Another outcome noted by patients is asymmetry of lateral hooding reduction. The median age was 65.5 years (range: 2688). 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. Battu VK, Meyer DR, Wobig JL. Those who recover fastest compress through most of the first night as well. Photos in Fig. If a second finger is required in the central eyelid pushing upward, usually a posterior-lamellar graft is required. The surgical technique was developed by one of the senior authors (NJ). 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. Diagrams and photos in Fig. Nonlaser-induced postoperative hyperpigmentation can result from hematoma formation and excess sun exposure. Lelli GJ, Lisman RD: Blepharoplasty complications. 3, pp. If noted, however, it should be treated with bleaching creams. My doctor doesn't think he can repair it. Lid crease in Asians can be absent, may be nasally tapered, or flat but typically lies lower and flatter than Caucasians. Postoperative eyelid edema and levator edema are common and are temporary causes of ptosis. As an alternative to suture closure, some surgeons prefer octyl2cyanoacrylate for blepharoplasty wound closure. Very rarely topical or injected steroids can be used, as true keloids of the eyelid skin are rare. 767771, 1990. If deeper scarring requires release, it should be done at the time of skin graft placement. Proptosis, decreased motility, and increased orbital tension, and associated bleeding are the clinical signs to appreciate. An effective emergency contact arrangement needs to be in place so prompt assessment and intervention can be carried out [33]. Epiphora from damage to the lacrimal outflow system can occur if the incision line is carried too medially and too close to the horizontal midline. Intravenous mannitol 20% (12g/kg over 3060minutes). It is virtually unheard of for this to fail to resolve. 1h) then split into its anterior and posterior lamellae as described earlier. The conjunctival incision made in a transconjunctival lower lid blepharoplasty never requires sutures. Local anaesthetic infiltration in between the anterior and posterior lamella can help hydrodissect the layers prior to surgical separation of the layers. We report a technique for canthoplasty repair of canthal rounding with the use of illustrative cases. The most serious complication following upper blepharoplasty, Rare, with an estimated incidence of 1:20,000 (Ophthal Surg 1990;21:85). 106, no. 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. Postoperatively, the management of patients concerns can range from reassurance to surgical intervention, depending on the concern. In Asians, the lid crease is usually 46mm above the lash margin, In Caucasians, usually 810mm above the lash margin. We report a technique for canthoplasty repair of canthal rounding with the use of illustrative cases. The surgeon needs to stop the bleeding but at the same time avoid excess cautery or other trauma to the muscle. Article Similarly, corneal epithelial breakdown can result in transient pain, foreign body sensation and tearing. If youre experiencing a medical issue, please contact a healthcare professional or dial 911 immediately. Explain and document how daily visual function is affected. Lower eyelid of this patient shows cicatricial ectropion with middle lamellar scarring causing lid retraction as well after blepharoplasty elsewhere. The authors declare no competing interests. Lid crease fixation is not always necessary. With our technique, we make use of the excess horizontal tissue to create the flaps, which in turn are folded and secured to realign the canthal angle discrepancies. 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. Avoid placing the crease too high to prevent the appearance of over-westernization. Cautery is applied as needed to achieve hemostasis. http://tabanmd.com/gallery/revisional-eyelid/ Helpful Mehryar (Ray) Taban, MD, FACS Oculoplastic Surgeon, Board Certified in Ophthalmology ( 302) Lazzeri D, Agostini T, Figus M et al: The contribution of Aulus Cornelius Celsus (25 B.C.-50 A.D.) to eyelid surgery. The patient has severe symptomatic lagophthalmos as well as an unsightly appearance. 2003;111:44150. N. Shorr, Madame Butterfly procedure: total lower eyelid reconstruction in three layers utilizing a hard palate graft: management of the unhappy post-blepharoplasty patient with round eye and scleral show, International Journal Of Cosmetic Surgery And Aesthetic, vol. 316320, 1988. Identifying patients with body dysmorphic syndrome, dysmorphophobia, or narcissistic behavior helps screen for those who may not be appropriate candidates for surgery. 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. Plast Reconstr Surg. If brow ptosis is present, straight-ahead photograph with eyebrows elevated by the patient demonstrates compensation. I experienced significant swelling in my tear duct area (especially on the right side) My right eye now appears to have webbing on the inner corner. The addition of epinephrine to local anesthetic solutions prolongs the duration of action of the anesthetic agent and may reduce intraoperative bleeding. Anticoagulants contribute to continued extravasation of blood into the orbit, while comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes may contribute to compromised vascular integrity. Allergies and a list of medications should be noted. Younger patients may want to retain fullness above the lid crease so that preservation of orbicularis muscle may be considered, Older patients may need to retain blink efficiency so that so that preservation of orbicularis muscle may be considered, In Caucasian women, the crease is usually 811mm above the lid margin. Jordan DR, Mawn LA. I had strange eyes that if tired could look so puffy/saggy but if not they were near perfect (a little excess always present left side). Fortunately, diplopia after blepharoplasty is extremely rare but is still a known complication. Control of obvious bleeding points, if present is important. Federici TJ, Meyer DR, Lininger LL. It is rare that true bony decompression either at bedside through the inferomedial floor or more fully in the operating room is required. Assess nasal fat pad and preaponeurotic fat pad protrusion. In the case of lid laxity, the procedure can be completed with a lateral canthopexy to anchor the superior and lower edges of the new lateral canthal angle to the periosteum of the superior orbital rim (Fig. Assess degree of lacrimal gland prolapse. 3, pp. Once patients concerns are identified, the surgeon should inquire about cardiac and thyroid disease, hypertension, diabetes, bleeding diathesis, and keloid scar formation. Canthal rounding can cause cosmetic or functional deficit with visual obstruction on lateral gaze. A contact lens does require a daily or near daily visit until the abrasion is healed and the lens is removed. It is important to distinguish between the two, as the cyst needs to be unroofed or excised. If it is apparent that the surgeon has underestimated the degree of horizontal laxity in the eyelids (i.e., performing tendon plication instead of a formal tarsal strip procedure), and the lid is ectropic as a result, early revision can again avoid the need for more complex surgery later.
