Abstract

Objective To investigate the application of orbicularis oculi-levator aponeurosis fixation technique (Park) in double-eyelid operation. Methods From June 2014 to March 2016, 136 male and 1248 female patients (436 patients with ptosis) were selected to receive the treatment. Results The incision healed well without obvious postoperative hematoma. The patients were followed up to 4-22 months (mean 10m) after operation. Most patients had smooth upper eyelid crease, upturned lashes and dynamic fold. The skin tended to spread evenly without dimple. The ptosis were also corrected. Still, there were 16 patients with the crease disappeared, 11 patients with asymmetry crease, 10 patients showing an incomplete line, and 9 patients with the accordion effect. Conclusions The orbicularis oculi-levator aponeurosis fixation technique is a minimally-invasive procedure and decreases the recovery time. It is more solid compared with suturing technique, and can avoid sunken, depression, puffiness compared with a traditional full-cutting method. It looks more like a natural double eyelid because of protecting the orbicularis oculi muscle. Key words: Blepharoplasty; Orbicularis oculi-levator aponeurosis fixation technique; Ptosis
