Lid crease asymmetry is usually corrected by raising the lower eyelid crease. Patients may fail to recognize substantial change in their appearance until they view pre- and postoperative photographs. Posttreatment admission to hospital is recommended, with close visual acuity monitoring, head elevation, ice water compresses, intravenous steroids until 24 hours of stable vision have been noted, as well as imaging with CT scanning. Unfortunately, treatment beyond 1 to 6 hours of total or near-total vision loss is unlikely to be effective. In lidocaine (amide-type) sensitive patients, procaine (ester-type) may be used. Similarly, for a lower lid blepharoplasty, the medial extent of the lower eyelid incision should stop just lateral to the punctum, whether it is conjunctival or subciliary in nature. Milder eyelid laxity is treated by a form of lateral canthal tendon plication at the time of lower lid blepharoplasty, and dehiscence here is less common and of milder extent, and hence can usually be managed supportively [7]. The canthal rounding is split into its anterior and posterior lamellae using a 15-blade followed by Westcott spring scissors (Fig. Depending on the amount of laxity, a full lateral tarsal strip procedure or a lateral canthal tendon plication can be done. Valerie Juniat. Canthal web revision (Canthoplasty, Revision Canthoplasty) The area where the upper and lower lids meet is called the canthus. Anecdotally, these techniques involve dividing the rounded canthus, with or without the use of bolsters, to try and prevent re-adhesion of the new margins. Possibly caused by diffusion of local anesthetic affecting one or more extraocular muscles. The conjunctival incision made in a transconjunctival lower lid blepharoplasty never requires sutures. Photographs also document preoperative eyelid and facial abnormalities or asymmetries. We report a technique for canthoplasty repair of canthal rounding with the use of illustrative cases. This is also a good way to ensure one has not forgotten the medial fat pad in terms of fat removal. Early injection takes advantage of the time required to move, position, prep, and drape the patient, during which time the anesthetic will take effect. Institutional Review Board/Ethics Committee approval was obtained. Plast Reconstr Surg 1978; 61:347. 219228, 1991. The median age was 65.5 years (range: 2688). Open or closed lateral canthoplasty often performed in conjunction with various facial rejuvenation procedures (Taban, OPRS 2010) (e.g., upper- and/or lower-lid blepharoplasty, midface lift) Contraindications. Increased risk exists in the patient with proptosis, such as a patient with thyroid eye disease or the patient with a large or projecting glaucoma bleb. On average, this amount is between 1 to 2mm. Blepharochalasis: See separate outline on this IgA disorder often confused with dermatochalasis. Removal or preservation of fat and muscle can help achieve these goals. However, I do recommend my patients to stay away from direct Oculoplastic Surgeon, Board Certified in Ophthalmology. Intravenous mannitol 20% (12g/kg over 3060minutes). Occasionally spacer grafts are required to completely correct the lid retraction. Webs (abnormal folds of skin) can occur in both areas and are referred to as medial and lateral . Postoperatively, the management of patients concerns can range from reassurance to surgical intervention, depending on the concern. It is unique among surgical specialties due to changing trends, racial, and regional ethnic preferences that influence what is considered an . Discomfort and edema are expected after surgery and are usually adequately managed with acetaminophen. Old photographs are useful to determine the patients youthful upper eyelid fold configuration. If skin shortage is evident however, full-thickness skin grafting may be needed. It has also caused the skin to be stretched down tight onto my nose from the bridge to the incision. Ive become really sad as my eyes were pretty before, esp my right which is the one he has botched. 1, no. If there is insufficient tissue to create both anterior and posterior flaps, for example in smaller areas of canthal rounding with less conjunctiva available, a modification to the above method to create a single flap can be used instead (DS). The two fuse low in the upper eyelid, so the inexperienced surgeon is well advised to open the septum high up where there is a good barrier of preaponeurotic fat underneath to protect the levator. The patient had symptomatic exposure keratitis despite copious lubrication and taping the eyelids closed at night. Lower eyelid of this patient shows cicatricial ectropion with middle lamellar scarring causing lid retraction as well after blepharoplasty elsewhere. Blood supply to critical structures including the optic nerve become compromised. 1g). If a second finger is required in the central eyelid pushing upward, usually a posterior-lamellar graft is required. 1, pp. Dupuis C, Rees TD: Historical notes on blepharoplasty. The authors favor CO2 laser blepharoplasty with a trans-conjunctival lower lid approach. Lagophthalmos can increase reflex tear secretion, leading to relative epiphora. This is because most patients will initially experience small amounts of lagophthalmos from ongoing local anaesthetic effect on the orbicularis, swelling, and stiffness of the eyelids. In men, the brow protrudes more anteriorly, and the eyelid crease is closer to the eyelid margin. Lubrication, cool compresses, and observation are essential to resolution. 1i). Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 2007; 48:4445. Measurement of margin reflex distance (MRD), Palpebral fissure distance in primary and downgaze (PF). Incisions should be at least 4 to 5mm above the punctum to avoid the canaliculus. Is this resolvable? In Caucasian men, the crease is usually 69mm above the eyelid margin. 81, no. Assess nasal fat pad and preaponeurotic fat pad protrusion. The erythema lasts an average of 3 months in women but can be covered readily with make up after 8 or 9 days. Effective techniques do exist to treat most, if not all, complications, which may arise. 417425, 1993. If a definite levator laceration is observed, it should be repaired if it is causing ptosis. Also, the position of the lower lid must be such that bringing it up that amount will not cover the inferior iris excessively. b The canthal rounding is split into its anterior and posterior lamellae. Crease formation should not be high on the levator (if above tarsal plate at all) to avoid a distorted westernized look, asymmetry, and ptosis. Patients should plan to not drive for a week, due to the blurriness caused by the ointment use. Scleral show can occur with excess laser energy deposition when the fat is removed. B. C. K. Patel, M. Patipa, R. L. Anderson, and W. McLeish, Management of postblepharoplasty lower eyelid retraction with hard palate grafts and lateral tarsal strip, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, vol. Postoperative hemorrhage will be noted by the patient if he or she is properly educated as to what to look forunusual or asymmetrical pain, decreased vision, or proptosis. This is seen as a rounded fold of skin and scar tissue inside the normal canthal angle, causing horizontal shortening of the eyelid aperture. The incision, which is made along the previously marked lines, can be made with a 15Bard Parker blade, an incisional CO2 laser, a diamond blade, or a needle-tipped Bovie or radiofrequency instrument. Lid crease in Asians can be absent, may be nasally tapered, or flat but typically lies lower and flatter than Caucasians. A lateral canthal web is a known complication of blepharoplasty. Flash photography documents the MRD and corneal light reflex as well any eyelid skin resting on the eyelashes. In the meantime, to ensure continued support, we are displaying the site without styles If the patient continues to have difficulty describing or demonstrating what he or she desires changed, and into what, it obligates the surgeon to promote discussion or present alternatives until clear agreement occursotherwise, surgery should not be done. 1, pp. Multiple repairs may be required for the optimum result to be achieved. Ophthal Plast Reconstr Surg. Secondary upper lid lengthening can also be done posteriorly if adequate skin grafting has already been carried out, thereby avoiding another skin incision. Plast Reconstr Surg 2010; 125:1017. In patients (especially males) with prominent skin and orbicularis excess who are not laser candidates, fat is still removed transconjunctivally, the eyelid is tightened horizontally and a conservative skin muscle pinch excision is utilized. Retrobulbar hemorrhage is a form of compartment syndrome, with the orbit bounded by four bony walls and the orbital septum acting as the compartment. d The posterior flap is created. Elimination of topical allergy, and occasionally short-term topical steroid use are helpful. Even a moderate amount can be upsetting to the patient who has always been heavy lidded. The skin then bridges the superomedial hollow of the upper lid in a straight line. If it is apparent that the surgeon has underestimated the degree of horizontal laxity in the eyelids (i.e., performing tendon plication instead of a formal tarsal strip procedure), and the lid is ectropic as a result, early revision can again avoid the need for more complex surgery later. 34, no. Any adjunctive procedures to be performed should also be determined. c. Patient 6: Right lateral canthal rounding following tumour reconstructionsingle flap technique. Surgical planning involves deciding whether upper or lower eyelids, or both will be operated on. 106, no. However, this was not encountered in our patient group. J Allergy Clin Immunol 1986; 78:417. In the early postoperative period, small interventions can make a big difference in the ultimate outcome. Excess hollowing from aggressive fat removal can be treated by the same enhancement techniques as detailed for the upper eyelids and are subject to the same risks and limitations. Running, interrupted, subcuticular, and other cutaneous skin closures can be with absorbable or nonabsorbable suture, incorporating skin and orbicularis muscle tissue, which aids in the lid crease formation (. 604606, 1989. An allergist should guide the workup and management of this condition. Mild inner webbing too. Fortunately, with time, these tend to diminish. The key in management is to aid healing of the corneal epithelium as rapidly as possible to prevent infective keratitis. Answer: Inner eyelid webbing scar after blepharoplasty Hi. We report a technique for canthoplasty repair of canthal rounding with the use of illustrative cases. It has also caused the skin to be stretched down tight onto my nose from the bridge to the incision. 3 The lateral canthal angle is sharp and crisp, with the lateral commissure closely opposed to the globe . An alternative approach is the "pinch method" where eyelid skin is grasped and gathered until the skin is tight and the lashes begin to evert. In the initial assessment, patients are encouraged to voice their desires and concerns regarding the aesthetic appearance and functional features of their eyelids. Most patients only need to take 7 days off work. Narcissists as 'victims': the role of narcissism in the perception of transgressions. In equivocal cases, a posterior lamellar graft can be tried first, and the patient warned that a following procedure with a skin graft may be necessary. Correlation of the vision-related functional impairment associated with blepharoptosis and the impact of blepharoptosis surgery. Ophthal Plast Reconstr Surg 2002; 18:45. R. Z. Silkiss and H. I. Baylis, Autogenous fat grafting by injection, Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, vol. Im losing faith in him though and am looking elsewhere for revision. Please see before/after photo on link below (toward bottom of the website page). I would like to have this corrected as soon as possible and need advice. Figure 10 shows corneal scarring due to severe lagophthalmos. Excessive trauma to the levator muscle, levator aponeurosis, and pre-aponeurotic fat pad can result in upper lid retraction, scleral show, and lagophthalmos. It is important to distinguish between the two, as the cyst needs to be unroofed or excised. Lower eyelid of the same patient shown in Figures. Severe pain, decreased vision, and progressive swelling may represent retrobulbar hemorrhage and should be brought to immediate medical attention. Tension in the levator complex and orbital septum may also result in eyelid retraction. Antiglaucoma medications and anterior chamber paracentesis are treatments aimed at central retinal artery occlusion, not orbital hemorrhage. The laser must always be directed away from the globe even through eye shields are in place. Severe corneal scarring secondary to severe lagophthalmos after blepharoplasty done in a patient with Thyroid Eye Disease. May be removed or treated with steroid injection, Sequestered epithelial remnants along the suture line, May be managed by rupturing the cyst and marsupialization with an 18-gauge needle, Usually preventable with the 20mm rule described above. The same principle applies in lower lid fat removal to protect the inferior oblique. Sutureless closure of the upper eyelids in blepharoplasty: use of octyl-2-cyanoacrylate. Persistent cases are treated by a V- to-Y plasty procedure. 11, pp. Medial canthal webbing. If persistent, intense pulse light is a useful adjuvant treatment. 207212, 2008. May be administered in the operating room or preoperative holding area. In one patient there was rounding recurrence. In darker-skinned patients at risk for reactive posttreatment hyperpigmentation, pre and posttreatment with topical Retin-A and bleaching creams can be utilized. Assess degree of lacrimal gland prolapse. 5, pp. It is virtually unheard of for this to fail to resolve. Aulus Cornelius Celsus was a first-century Roman who described making an incision in the skin to relax the eyelids (Orbit 2012;31:162). The risks are significant and include brief effect, scarring and tissue irregularities, uneven contours, and ptosis and lid retraction. Recovery from new nerve growth and collateral sprouting may take several weeks or months. It forms a c shape and makes my eyes asymmetrical. In more severe cases, the rounding can cause functional deficit with visual obstruction on lateral gaze. 367373, 1972. Robi N. Maamari, Philip L. Custer, Steven M. Couch, Varajini Joganathan, Bhupendra C. K. Patel, Jonathan H. Norris, Jennifer Danesh, Shoaib Ugradar, Daniel B Rootman, Terence W. Ang, Valerie Juniat, Dinesh Selva, Mostafa M. Diab, Richard C. Allen, Kareem B. Elessawy, Eye Patients should rest with their head up at least 45 to 60 degrees. 8, no. May be accomplished by securing posterior skin to the levator complex at the superior border of the tarsal plate. a The new eyelid margin is marked (dotted line). Visual field is repeated with the eyelids taped up. The skin and orbicularis, lid margin, conjunctiva, and lower lid retractors are removed from the excess eyelid laterally, creating a lateral tarsal strip which is then anchored to Whitnalls tubercle inside the lateral orbital rim. 3, no. Z. For lower eyelid blepharoplasty in Asians, transconjunctival fat removal yields far superior results to an external approach [34]. Black EH, Gladstone GJ, Nesi FA. Lee CW, Sheffer AL. Tenzel RR: Complications of blepharoplasty. He said he stitched the lower outer corner to the top lid! Internet Explorer). Careful preoperative marking will minimize the incidence of this result and of course many minor degrees of asymmetry will disappear with time. Occasionally, incision lines may look hypertrophied, particularly in keloid-forming patients. Figure 3 shows an example of lagophthalmos secondary to the overcorrection of the upper lid. I have started massaging the area and wearing silicone strips at night. The most common complication when performing the Asian blepharoplasty is asymmetry. h Flap is marked. Measure skin amount in millimeters between the lower border of the central brow and the eyelash margin. Remove granulation tissue and freshen wound edges. Safety of Periocular Mohs Reconstruction: a Two-Center Retrospective Study. Another mechanism is direct or indirect injury to the inferior oblique during surgery. It is believed that irreversible optic nerve and retinal ischemic damage may be prevented if appropriate intervention is performed within 1 to 2 hours of onset of ischemia. All patients except one reported good surgical outcomes, defined as cosmetically and functionally acceptable result to the patient and surgeon, after one procedure. Patients typically are seen after blepharoplasty surgery or trauma with both cosmetic and functional (visual-field obstruction in lateral gaze) deficits. It aims to improve the appearance of the lower eyelids by addressing skin laxity, fat prominence, and adjusting the lower eyelid position. 1f). I have inner eyelid webbing following a blepharoplasty 2 years ago. Canthal rounding has been reported following periocular tumour or trauma reconstruction [4, 5]. 21922196, 1979. 2, pp. 3, article 3, 1995. As the surgeon, it is important to be aware of the potential complications of surgery. People notice this scar within minutes of meeting me and I am very self-conscious about it. 4550, 1996. Consult with a doctor virtually or in person.

Alternatively, removing anterior fat may unmask the underlying proptosis, and care should be exercised. Battu VK, Meyer DR, Wobig JL. Relative merits and disadvantages of addressing concurrent blepharoptosis, eyebrow ptosis, eyelid retraction, and other sources of eyelid, eyebrow and orbital asymmetry can be included in the discussion on proposed blepharoplasty. Great care is taken to point the needle away from the globe, to avoid inadvertent penetration with sudden patient movement. Absorbable sutures vary in rate of absorption and degree of inflammation often they are removed as well. Significant lagophthalmos illustrated. Persistent diplopia beyond the first day will often resolve with eye movement or fusion exercises, if there is no gross deficit. 2. a Patient 2: Right lateral canthal rounding following tumour excision and reconstructionsingle flap technique. Jeong S, Lemke BN, Dortzbach RK, et al: The Asian upper eyelid: an anatomical study with comparison to the Caucasian eyelid. Canthoplasty repair for canthal rounding. Mild lower-lid laxity or lateral canthal deformity. Graded eyelid horizontal tightening is utilized in all but the youngest patients. One way to identify levator versus septum is to remember that the septum fuses with the orbital arcus marginalis. Slider with three articles shown per slide. Due to the complexity and intricate nature of eyelid anatomy, complications do exist. Yazici B, etinkaya A, akirli E. Bilobed flap in the reconstruction of inferior and/or lateral periorbital defects. J. H. Oestreicher and K.

Improvement in subjective visual function and quality of life outcome measures after blepharoptosis surgery. To obtain 281288, 2002. More effect (in terms of lifting skin off the eyelashes) for less skin excision can be achieved by creating a higher lid crease during the blepharoplasty. The perceived gravity of a given complication may differ between the patient and the surgeon [1, 3]. Globe injury can occur with the CO2 laser, with a steel scalpel, or with local anaesthetic injection. Risk factors for overcorrection include previous eyelid trauma, dermatological conditions leading to tight skin, and Graves disease. 438440, 2000. Anticoagulants may increase the risk of postoperative bleeding. Asian eyelid includes a pretarsal fat pad and may include more volume in the preaponeurotic fat pads. The amount of lagophthalmos must be such that lower lid elevation would eliminate it. If the nasal fat pad fat is to be removed, care is taken to cauterize or avoid medial palpebral vessels which course over the medial fat pad. True canalicular injury may require late repair if epiphora results. M. Patipa, The evaluation and management of lower eyelid retraction following cosmetic surgery, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, vol. 767771, 1990. Article 20, no. Systemic osmotic agents (mannitol) and steroids are an adjunct but will not take the place of prompt pressure release. Patients with vitiligo may have an increased risk of hypopigmentation. Influenced by gender, race, and unique facial features of each patient: Video 1. You are using a browser version with limited support for CSS. Lateral canthal support is used to address the lower eyelid laxity either by . Blepharoplasty is an operation to modify the contour and configuration of the eyelids in order to restore a more youthful appearance. Postoperatively, the patient can aid recovery with a few simple interventionsice water compresses and head elevation. Lowers were performed with transcutaneous approach. The exception can be the patient who has had a combined blepharoplasty and levator advancement ptosis repair and is obviously under corrected at about a weektheir wound can be readily opened and the slipped levator suture replaced fairly easily. Pre- and post-operative photographs of selected cases are shown in Fig. Despite the use of a lidocaine/marcaine mixture for local anesthetic, it is important to note that this form of diplopia is always gone by the next day. Wound may be repaired electively in 1 to 2 weeks if it does not close on its own. Clin Plast Surg 1983; 10:321. All except one patient reported good surgical outcomes after one procedure. We report a new technique for canthoplasty repair of canthal rounding with the use of illustrative cases. My case seems quite complex compared to other cases of rounding I have seen: there appears to be a split between the lower eyelid and the webbing as opposed to the whole angle being blunted. Dermatol Surg. CT scan is important, but only after initial decompression treatment has been carried out. Several surgical techniques to repair canthal rounding have been described previously. Artificial tears may also be recommended. Heinze JB, Hueston JT. Note the widened aperture but rounding recurrence. Swelling and bruising you may have will be virtually gone by day 10. There was one recurrence of rounding, which was noted at the first post-operative review at 2 weeks following surgery. 122, no. The alternative argument is that epinephrine vasoconstriction is followed by rebound vasodilation, which may actually potentiate the risk of postoperative orbital hemorrhage. C. D. McCord Jr., The correction of lower lid malposition following lower lid blepharoplasty, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, vol. However, rapid release of orbital pressure by opening the wound, lateral canthotomy and inferior and/or superior cantholysis is critical. Ophthal Plast Reconstr Surg 2004; 20:426. Adjunctive procedures include brow ptosis repair (internal trans-blepharoplasty, direct, coronal, or endoscopic), ptosis repair, lacrimal gland suspension, eyelid lengthening, and lower eyelid tightening or lateral canthopexy. If youre experiencing a medical issue, please contact a healthcare professional or dial 911 immediately. Nonabsorbable sutures are removed 714 days after surgery. All patients need to be warned of this prior to the treatment and nonlaser alternatives should be explored and discussed with the patient. Dermatitis: Chronic dermatitis caused by redundant skin is an indication for surgery. Topical and systemic antibiotics are given due to the open wounds. Clinical characteristics of cold-induced systemic reactions in acquired cold urticaria syndromes: recommendations for prevention of this complication and a proposal for a diagnostic classification of cold urticaria. It seems my canthoplasty has failed. The anterior flap is then cut along both superior and inferior lid margins and completely excised (Fig. I had MOHS five weeks ago for squamous cell, a single layer was removed from the upper side of my nose. Difficult to rectify? Head elevation and limiting activity may reduce edema. If suspicious that an orbital hemorrhage has occurred, laser eye protectors (metallic scleral contact lenses) block vision and must be removed to assess the visual acuity. G. Y. Shaw and J. Khan, The management of ectropion using the tarsoconjunctival composite graft, Archives of Otolaryngology, vol. Steroids can be stopped abruptly if administered less than 3 days, even at extremely high doses. If canthotomies have not restored vision, spreading bluntly posteriorly into the orbit along the lateral wall to access deep hematomas and release them, may be helpful. Care is taken to avoid the levator palpebrae superioris complex which lies just posterior to the preaponeurotic fat pad. Allergy Asthma Proc 2003; 24:9. Rapid release of orbital pressure by opening the wound, releasing the lid with a lateral canthotomy with inferior and/or superior cantholysis, is most important. Proper repair is an art in itself. e. Patient 12: Left lateral canthal rounding following blepharoplastysingle flap technique. Clark ML, Kneiber D, Neal D, Etzkorn J, Maher IA. A running prolene suture, with several interrupted reinforcements is useful. Identifying patients with body dysmorphic syndrome, dysmorphophobia, or narcissistic behavior helps screen for those who may not be appropriate candidates for surgery. 2 months post upper, lowers, and canthoplasty. Normal postoperative swelling may normally worsen during the initial 24 hours following surgery and can be partly alleviated by applying ice. 24, no. The surgery involves removing redundant skin, fat, and muscle. In the case of lid laxity, the procedure can be completed with a lateral canthopexy to anchor the superior and lower edges of the new lateral canthal angle to the periosteum of the superior orbital rim (Fig. 99, no. If concerned, the patient can be observed until signs of improvement are noted. In the face of frank orbital hemorrhage with proptosis, a frozen globe, and vision loss, bold measures are called for. 4, pp. May be due to incision extended too far medially.
