- Abstract
Objective: To observe the changes of pretarsal fat fascia histological structure after double eyelid blepharoplasty with the orbital septum method. Methods: From December 2019 to February 2022, the patients with congenital single eyelid who underwent double eyelid blepharoplasty with the orbital septum method at the Plastic and cosmetic surgery department of Hunan provincial people's Hospital and the same number of congenital double eyelid volunteers. Then divided into three groups: preoperative eyelid ultrasound images in Group A, postoperative eyelid ultrasound images in Group B, and congenital double eyelid volunteers in Group C. To study the histological differences of pretarsal fat fascia before and after double eyelid blepharoplasty with the orbital septum method and congenital double eyelid by ultrasound. Results: Ninety‐eight patients who underwent double eyelid blepharoplasty with the orbital septum method met the inclusion criteria. All 98 patients aged 22.88 ± 3.00 years, including 7 males and 91 females, followed up for 6–12 months. Included 98 volunteers with congenital double eyelid, aged 23.58 ± 2.59 years, including 49 males and 49 females. Ultrasound showed that the pretarsal fat fascia was divided into two layers. The dense layer adhered closely to the surface of the tarsus with no statistically significant differences. There was a statistically significant difference in the thickness of the pretarsal loose fat fascia layer between Group A and B. The points a b c in Group A were significantly thicker than those in Group B and C, and there was no significant difference between Group B and C. Postoperative evaluation: 83 cases were satisfied, 11 cases were basically satisfied and 4 cases were unsatisfied. Conclusion: After double eyelid blepharoplasty using orbital septum, the histological structure of pretarsal fat fascia is similar to that of congenital double eyelid, suggesting that double eyelid blepharoplasty with the orbital septum method can change the structure of pretarsal fat fascia and make it similar to congenital double eyelid, which is one of the anatomical bases for its good clinical effect.
