The author presents his method of using BTA injections in the periorbital area for promoting the wound healing process, ensuring formation of a normotrophic scar and enhancing the aesthetic outcome of blepharoplasty surgeries
It is necessary to bear in mind, that the patients usually expect a full rejuvenation after blepharoplasty, including smoothing of dynamic wrinkles as well
Summary
In the course of many years various blepharoplasty techniques proved to be effective for surgical rejuvenation of the periorbital area. Success of any blepharoplasty depends – among other factors - upon the normal course of the wound healing process. Results of some recent research suggest that the presence of BTA in the tissues of healing cutaneous wounds can inhibit processes leading to scar hypertrophy [1, 2, 3]. It is necessary to bear in mind, that the patients usually expect a full rejuvenation after blepharoplasty, including smoothing of dynamic wrinkles as well. Being guided by the patients′ needs and considering the options of botulinum therapy, I began to use BTA injections in the early postoperative period and worked out a management algorithm of my own for patients after various types of blepharoplasty
