摘要

Background

Traditional transcutaneous lower blepharoplasty often compromises the orbicularis oculi muscle, raising risks of complications like ectropion.

Objective

To evaluate the clinical outcomes of a modified transcutaneous lower blepharoplasty technique that preserves the palpebral orbicularis oculi muscle.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted on 65 patients who underwent this procedure between January and May 2024. Surgical outcomes, complications, and patient satisfaction were assessed.

Results

The technique effectively improved lower eyelid bag deformity with high patient satisfaction, while avoiding damage to the orbicularis oculi muscle and related complications commonly seen in traditional surgeries.

Conclusions

The transcutaneous lower blepharoplasty with preservation of the palpebral orbicularis oculi muscle is a safe and effective surgical method, offering excellent aesthetic results, particularly for patients with lower eyelid skin laxity and orbital fat herniation.
