  • Clinical efficacy analysis of myocutaneous flap in blepharoplasty

    Objective To introduce the myocutaneous flap in blepharoplasty and summarize its clinical efficacy. Methods Between January 2013 and March 2016, 1 560 patients underwent blepharoplasty with myocutaneous flap. Of them, 158 patients were followed up over 6 months and included in the study. There were 18 males and 140 females with the average age of 23.4 years (range, 18-35 years). The unilateral side was involved in 13 cases and bilateral sides in 145 cases. The patients had narrow double eyelid, shallow double eyelid, single eyelid, bloated upper eyelid, and upper eyelid skin relaxation. During operation, the tissue between the orbicular muscle of eye and the tarsus was trimmed layer by layer; the orbicularis oculi muscle, capillary network, and the front fascia of tarsus were retained, and the full-thickness skin, muscle, and the front fascia of tarsus were sutured by anatomical apposition. Results Incision healed at stage I. All patients were followed up 6 months to 2 years (mean, 8.3 months). During follow-up period, shallow or extinctive double-eyelid line was observed in 9 cases (12 eyes), and satisfactory results were achieved after trimming front fascia of tarsus and suturing. Good clinical results were obtained in the other patients, who had natural and coherent double eyelid without obvious scar or depression at resection margin. Conclusion Myocutaneous flap for blepharoplasty has many advantages of fast recovery, little wound, light swelling, permanent effects, and good appearance.
