NCT04585217 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 23

Last updated 2023-10-23

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The objective is to compare the effect of suture material on blepharoplasty incision. Outcomes of blepharoplasty scar and/or cosmesis will be compared between plain gut and polypropylene suture. Additionally, the study will assess whether certain Fitzpatrick skin types are associated with increased rates of poor outcomes after blepharoplasty.

Conditions

  • Dermatochalasis
  • Ptosis, Eyelid

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Randomized laterality of suture materials for closure (6-0 polypropylene monofilament suture vs fast absorbing gut suture on right eyelid)

Plain gut suture (6-0 fast absorbing plain gut \[Sharpoint "Express gut" TM\]) and polypropylene suture (6-0 polypropylene \[Ethicon Prolene TM\]) will be used to close blepharoplasty incisions. Each patient will have one eyelid using plain gut suture and the other eyelid with polypropylene suture. Each subject will be randomized as to laterality.
