- Abstract
Treatment of the aging lower eyelid is determined by the anatomic variables noted for each surgical candidate. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty has been a challenging surgery fraught with many potential complications. The prevention of these complications requires a detailed knowledge of lower eyelid anatomy and a focused examination of the factors that may predispose to poor outcome. We compared lower eyelid blepharoplasty outcome and complication in vector negative and vector positive and neuter patients 40 patients who were referred for lower eyelid blepharoplasty were studied. Mean age of the patients were 46.87±2.55. Of the 40 patients included in the study, 82.5% (33) were females and 17.5% (7) were males. 16 (40%) were vector negative and 24 (60%) were vector positive and neuter. Vector negative patients underwent fat repositioning and vector neutr and positive patients underwent fat repositioning and fat removal lower eyelid blepharoplasty. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. P value of postoperative complication and surgeon and patient satisfaction were respectively 0.328, 0.812 and 0.075. According to choosing the appropriate surgical approach in vector negative patients there were statistically insignificant difference between these two groups (vector negative vs. positive and neuter) in outcome and complications. Fat reposition in vector negative patients improves the outcome and decreases postoperative complications in these patients.
