  • Title: Deepening of the superior sulcus after isolated lower transconjunctival blepharoplasty.
    Author: Schiller JD, Lin S, Neigel JM.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg; 2004 Nov; 20(6):433-5. PubMed ID: 15599242.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To retrospectively determine the incidence of deepening of the superior sulcus after isolated CO2 laser lower transconjunctival blepharoplasty. METHODS: Retrospective case review and prospective measurement of the amount of fat resected in isolated laser lower blepharoplasty in 39 patients. RESULTS: Significant deepening of the superior sulcus occurred in 10% of CO2 laser lower transconjunctival blepharoplasties. The amount of fat resected ranged from 0.4 to 0.9 ml per eyelid, with an average of 0.55 ml. CONCLUSIONS: Upper eyelid changes may be an overlooked result of CO2 laser lower transconjunctival blepharoplasty.
