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...

... preferred laser surgery when there was no difference in price. When laser surgery cost an extra $100À$500 in comparison with blade surgery, the majority (n = 111; 76.6%) still preferred laser surgery. However, when laser surgery was at least $1,000 more expensive than blade surgery, only 66 participants (45.5%) still opted for the laser technique (Fig. ...

... there was a difference of $100À$500, and 54.5% (n = 79) when laser surgery was at least $1,000 more expensive (Fig. 5). Participants responded that on average (SD), paying $975 ($1,091) more would justify laser surgery compared with blade ...

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.
