Clinicopathologic Comparison of Radiofrequency Versus Scalpel Incision for Upper BlepharoplastyOphthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 24
The objective of the study was to compare wound dehiscence in upper blepharoplasty between the traditional suturing technique and the modified suturing technique in split-face study. A prospective, intrapatient split-face study was conducted from October 2019 to August 2020 in 40 patients who underwent upper blepharoplasty. The incision was made on both eyes, where the left eye received 3 subcutaneous buried sutures (6-0 polyglactin) before interrupted 6-0 nylon skin closure (modified technique), and the right eye underwent skin closure only (traditional technique). At 3 months, the aesthetic results using Hollander wound scale were evaluated by patients and an independent surgeon blinded to the method of closure. The study included 40 patients with an average age of 45 years. At 3 months, 39 patients (97.5%) recorded lateral wound dehiscence on the right eye and 0 patients (0%) on the left eye. The patient was scored 2 on the right eye and 5 on the left eye by the surgeon, whereas the patient scored 3 on right eye and 5.5 on left eye on Hollander wound scale. The modified technique in upper blepharoplasty proved to be a more aesthetically appealing and effective method to achieve a better scar in inverted canoe-shaped incisions with high-tension closure in well-positioned eyebrow.
