- Abstract
Blepharoplasty is a procedure aimed at correcting the eyelids and restoring the proper tension to the skin of the eyelids. Indications for the procedure can be divided into cosmetic, which result in visual rejuvenation of the patient, and functional, which are aimed at improving functioning. The procedure is commonly performed with Vicryl, polypropylene, nylon, fast-absorbing sutures or cyanoacrylate tissue adhesives. The most commonly used surgical suturing techniques include interrupted cutaneous, running cutaneous and subcutaneous continuous. The procedure can cause side effects, the most serious of which is intraorbital hemorrhage, which can lead to loss of vision. For the course of the procedure, achieving a satisfactory effect and minimizing the risk of complications, it is very important to use sutures made of the appropriate material, use the appropriate surgical suturing technique and determine the correct postoperative procedure. With the increasing number of blepharoplasty procedures performed, the risk of complications increases. Inadequate wound dressing significantly increases the incidence of complications, therefore proper wound dressing, hygiene and strict adherence to post-treatment recommendations are of fundamental importance in achieving the intended effect. Incorrect wound care can have a decisive impact on the course of the entire procedure.
