“…In group 1 patients, 5 (2.5%) presented with milia, and 11 (5.5%) had a standing cone deformity (SCD) that required revision. Scaccia reported a higher rate of milia formation (7.5%) after using the same suture 8 . No SCDs were found in his study, presumably due to the interrupted sutures placed at the lateral ends of the incisions.…”

“…In our study, nearly equal rates of milia formation were observed in group 1 (2.5%) and group 4 (2%). Similarly, Scaccia observed no significant difference in milia formation after using a permanent subcuticular and an absorbable skin suture 8 . Although no difference was observed in the rates of milia, after statistical analysis the absolute difference between expected and observed milia was greatest in group 4.…”

“…Surprisingly, there is a paucity of literature dealing with incisional closure in blepharoplasty, and in facial incisions more generally. From what we could identify in the medical literature, this issue was first addressed prospectively by Guyuron in 1992, followed by Scaccia in 1994 7,8 . In 2006, Alam performed a randomized study evaluating excisions and incisions on extremities 9 .…”

There are numerous modifications and variations of blepharoplasty surgery that correspond to a spectrum of patients' desires and morphologies. Visible scarification is undesirable to both patients and surgeons. Surface scarification may cause tractional consequences such as lid retraction, ectropion, and dry eye syndrome. We present here techniques to reduce visible scarification. These are especially useful in treating patients between the ages of 20 and 60 years. Over 200 blepharoplasties have been performed using various combinations of minimal-incision blepharoplasty techniques presented here, with no overt complications and high patient satisfaction. 57

Increasing mechanization, tools, and surgical fields are the recent general trend in surgery. In selected procedures, for example, blepharoplasty, simplification actually may enhance performance, shorten overall procedure times, and modulate costs. Traction-based blepharoplasty techniques are described that reduce surgical instrumentation and time while offering improved visualization. The use of hooks, forceps, and cotton-tipped applicators, as well as their attendant possible concerns, including hook "sticks" of operating room personnel, forceps wound trauma, and the limited availability for sangiunous or other fluid absorption of applicators has been eliminated or greatly reduced. Thus the proficient surgeon can focus more on the performance of blepharoplasty techniques critical for optimal cosmetic outcome and patient satisfaction. The use of these techniques produces cosmetic and natural results that are at least equivalent if not superior to blepharoplasty performed in the traditionally described manner. 9
