Participants' perceptions on the recovery time for each blepharoplasty technique (blade-based versus laser-based) preintervention and postintervention.
Source publication
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...

... in perceived recovery time associated with blepharoplasty by the blade technique (20.1 days, SD 32.6) versus the laser technique (13.5 days, SD 32.0), p = 0.0138). After the intervention, this difference increased to approximately 2 weeks (36.6 days, SD 54.4 for the blade technique vs 22.1 days, SD 41.1) for the laser technique, p < 0.0001; Fig. 3). The average change in perceived recovery time of 15.5 days for the blade technique was statistically significant (p < 0.0001), as was the average change in recovery time of 7.7 days for the laser technique (p = 0.0043). The difference in change between the blade and laser techniques was also statistically significant (p = ...

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.
