Summary

Patients were randomly allocated to the lower eyelid massage (experimental) or standard care (control) groups. The massage group received post-operative instructions. Data on demographics, injury profiles, lower eyelid scar contracture (graded by GLESCO criteria), eyelid malpositioning, comfort scores, and complications were gathered over a 6-month follow-up.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

lower eyelid massage

The massage technique was executed with the patient in a fully open-eyed state, maintaining an upward gaze. The lateral aspect of the distal phalanx of the index finger was employed, exerting pressure on the lower eyelid to bring its margin into contact with the upper eyelid margin for a duration of 10 seconds per repetition. This procedure comprised 10 repetitions per set, administered once hourly, spanning 10 hours daily. The massage instruction was provided either by the authors or plastic surgery residents.
