NCT02879552 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 2

Last updated 2016-08-25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Increased tarsal platform show (TPS) and decreased brow fat span (BFS) are associated with favorable results in women undergoing cosmetic blepharoplasty. The authors evaluate the efficacy of a technique (brassiere sutures) to increase TPS and decrease the BFS.

Conditions

  • Efficacy of a Technique (Brassiere Sutures)

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Traditional upper blepharoplasty

The skin incisions were marked using a skin marking pen. Preseptal orbicularis skin and muscle were removed using a size-15 scalpel blade and scissors. Hemostasis was achieved with conservative electrocuatery. The skin was closed with a running 6-0 nylon suture.

PROCEDURE

Brassiere suture with blepharoplasty

Prior to skin closure as above, three 6-0 polyglactin sutures are passed along the lateral fourth of the orbital rim. The sutures attach the inferior orbicularis oculi edge to the arcus marginalis of lateral ROOF. Sutures are placed until there is a visible "plumping" of the sub-brow tissues.
