Muscle-Sparing Six-Point Upper Blepharoplasty for Asian Male Patients.

Abstract

Dermatochalasis is a consequence of aging and results in various problems, such as tired look, dry eye syndrome, or reduced vision. Although the demand for upper blepharoplasty is growing in the senescing world, the demand from male patients has been generally overlooked. Male patients prefer natural creases and fast recoveries, with minimal swelling. The authors introduce a novel method that will satisfy the demands of most male patients. This technique includes muscle-sparing skin incisions and fixation of folds through 6 slit incisions. This study retrospectively reviewed 40 Asian male patients who had been subject to this procedure. The patients were evaluated for fold attenuation, scar perception, and patient satisfaction; favorable outcomes with minimal complications were observed.
