Abstract

Thirteen patients underwent blepharoplasty in a paired comparison study. A carbon dioxide laser was employed for one side while standard cold steel surgery and electrocautery was used on the contralateral side. In addition to reduced intraoperative time and bleeding, we found less postoperative ecchymosis and edema on the laser-treated side. Long-term follow-up showed no difference between the two sides when cosmetic end result and scars were compared.
