Temporal brow lift vs internal browpexy in females undergoing upper blepharoplasty: Effects on lateral brow lifting

Summary

Background

Lateral brow-lifting surgical procedures in conjunction with upper blepharoplasty may prevent secondary descent following upper blepharoplasty.

Objective

To compare the results of internal browpexy (IBP) and temporal brow lift (TBL) in patients with dermatochalasis undergoing simultaneous upper blepharoplasty.

Methods

This study was a single-center, parallel-group randomized controlled trial conducted on 32 female patients suitable for upper blepharoplasty. Patients were divided into two groups: the IBP group and the TBL group. The brow lift was measured using change in the distance between the ala nasi and lateral tail of the eyebrow as nasal ala to lateral brow (NALB) in millimeter (mm), and the vertical line between the lateral tail of eyebrow and horizontal line extending the lateral cantus as lateral brow plump line (LBPL) in mm before and after the surgery. The follow-up time was 6 months.

Results

The mean ± SD age of patients was 55.93 ± 7.1 years and 53.94 ± 7.7 years in the TBL and IBP groups, respectively (P > .05). No significant change in mean LBPL at 6 months compared to baseline was observed in the TBL group (baseline: 15.7 ± 1.6 mm vs 6 month: 15.8 ± 1.3 mm; P = .602). In the IBP group, a significant increase in mean LBPL at 6 months compared to baseline was observed (baseline: 15.09 ± 2.13 mm vs 6 months: 17. 43 ± 2.68 mm; P < .001).

Conclusions

Internal browpexy combined with blepharoplasty could be considered the better procedure in patients with upper eyelid dermatochalasis in terms of long-lasting stability and lateral brow elevation.
