Abstract

Blepharoplasty is the most prevalent cosmetic surgery procedure in Asia. There are three main types of blepharoplasty procedures: incision, threading, and spotting, with incision being the most common procedure. However, after incisional surgery, patients experience prolonged periorbital swelling, bruising, and scarring. In order to help patient reduce periorbital swelling and erythema and ease the discomfort. In this research, the authors introduce a photobiomodulation therapy and to investigate the efficacy and safety of 830 nm light-emitting diode (LED) phototherapy in improving complications after incisional blepharoplasty. Participants were randomly assigned 830 nm LED phototherapy (novel care model) or traditional care model for postoperative care. The efficacy of different care measures on postoperative complications after incisional blepharoplasty was assessed using swelling score, pain score (VAS), wound healing grading, and anxiety scale (SAS). A total of 145 patients were included, including 73 in the novel care model group and 72 in the traditional care model group. The new care model based on 830 nm LED phototherapy could significantly improve the swelling, pain, wound healing, and anxiety self-assessment scale assessment of the patients compared with the traditional care model, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Photobiomodulation using 830 nm LED can markedly reduce postoperative swelling and pain, promote effective wound healing, lessen postoperative patient anxiety, and have no negative side effects.
