Eye-Opening Effect Achieved by Modified Transconjunctival Lower Blepharoplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Enophthalmia (abnormally sunken eyeball in the socket) and ptotic upper lid, as well as lower lid symptoms, are commonly observed in patients seeking periorbital rejuvenation.

Objectives

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty (TCLB) modified by adding deframing and decompression maneuvers to the lower orbital fat compartment (LOFC) and its support structures to obtain better results in both the lower and upper lids.

Methods

Modified TCLB was performed in patients with lower eyelid symptoms. Palpebral fissure height (PFH) (the distance between the upper and lower eyelids in vertical alignment with the center of the pupil) was measured before surgery and 12 months postoperatively from 3-dimensional photographs
