Brief Summary
Increased tarsal platform show (TPS) and decreased brow fat span (BFS) are associated with favorable results in women undergoing cosmetic blepharoplasty. The authors evaluate the efficacy of a technique (brassiere sutures) to increase TPS and decrease the BFS.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Eyelid measurements of traditional blepharoplasty and brassiere suture, before and after surgery
6 months
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Asymmetry of TPS and BFS in traditional blepharoplasty and brassiere suture
6 months
Study Arms (2)
Traditional upper blepharoplasty
Patients with an odd total number of letters in their first name received traditional upper blepharoplasty.
Brassiere suture with blepharoplasty
The rest of the patients received orbicularis oculi muscle fixation to periosteum (brassiere sutures)
Interventions
The skin incisions were marked using a skin marking pen. Preseptal orbicularis skin and muscle were removed using a size-15 scalpel blade and scissors. Hemostasis was achieved with conservative electrocuatery. The skin was closed with a running 6-0 nylon suture.
Prior to skin closure as above, three 6-0 polyglactin sutures are passed along the lateral fourth of the orbital rim. The sutures attach the inferior orbicularis oculi edge to the arcus marginalis of lateral ROOF. Sutures are placed until there is a visible "plumping" of the sub-brow tissues.
Eligibility Criteria
Prospective, randomized, observational case series study included 110 eyelids (50 patients) that underwent cosmetic upper blepharoplasty and brassiere suture.
You may qualify if:
- Female underwent cosmetic upper blepharoplasty and brassiere suture with blepharoplasty
You may not qualify if:
- History of thyroid eye disease, levator dehiscence ptosis, blepharospasm, facial nerve paresis, a history of previous upper facial surgery or trauma, and postoperative follow-up for less than 6 months.
