Objective
To evaluate perceptions of blade- versus laser-based blepharoplasty before and after being provided educational information.
Design/Participants/Methods
This interventional pre–post study included 145 randomly selected participants (Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital, Montreal, Canada, August 2020) who were asked about their perceptions surro...

... surgical outcome. Perceived surgical outcome was significantly altered before and after intervention (p < 0.001). Preintervention, 58 participants (40.0%) perceived the laser technique to have a better outcome than the blade technique, 54 (37.2%) preferred the blade over the laser, and 33 (22.8%) considered the techniques similar (Fig. 1A). After intervention, the overall number of individuals perceiving the laser technique to have a better surgical outcome increased to 81 (55.9%), whereas the number of participants perceiving the blade technique to have a better outcome decreased significantly to 4 (2.8%, p < ...

... most either switched to the laser technique (n = 28; 51.9%) or considered results to be similar (n = 24; 44.4%) postintervention. Among the 33 participants who considered both methods similar preintervention, most retained their perception postintervention (n = 20; 60.6%) or changed in favour of the laser technique (n = 13; 39.4%; Fig. ...

The demand for procedures aiming to rejuvenate the upper third part of the face and the periocular region has increased in the past several years. Blepharoplasty is one of the most frequently performed procedures worldwide to date. Surgery is currently the first choice in order to achieve permanent and effective results; however, it is burdened by potential surgical complications feared by patients. There is an increasing trend in individuals to request less invasive, non-surgical, effective, and safe procedures for eyelid treatment. The aim of this minireview is to present a brief overview of non-surgical blepharoplasty techniques that have been reported in the literature in the past 10 years. Numerous modern techniques that provide a rejuvenation of the entire area have been described. Numerous less invasive methods have been proposed in the current literature and in modern-day routine clinical settings. Dermal fillers are a commonly chosen option for providing enhanced aesthetic results, especially considering that volume loss can be one of the main underlying causes of facial and periorbital aging. Deoxycholic acid use may be considered when the problem is represented by periorbital excess fat deposits. The simultaneous excess and loss of elasticity of the skin can be assessed with techniques such as lasers and plasma exeresis. Furthermore, techniques such as platelet-rich plasma injections and the insertion of twisted polydioxanone threads are emerging as viable methods to rejuvenate the periorbital region.
