Overview

Retrospective observational study demonstrates low complication rates in eyelid surgery patients, indicating transconjunctival blepharoplasty safely pairs with ancillary procedures.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the clinical outcomes, safety profile, recovery time, and feasibility of combining ancillary aesthetic procedures with transconjunctival postseptal blepharoplasty.
  • Retrospective observational study of 88 patients (28 men, 60 women; aged 20–76 years, median age 48) treated at a private hospital in northern India between July 2022 and January 2024.
  • Patients underwent transconjunctival postseptal blepharoplasty under general or local anesthesia, with structured follow-up visits at one, two, three, six, and 12 weeks postoperatively.
  • Ancillary procedures included fat transfer to treat a negative vector (n=87), excess skin excision (n=31), and canthopexy or canthoplasty (n=19).
  • Postoperative swelling, bruising, and chemosis resolved within one to two weeks, and transient foreign body sensation occurred in 14 patients, clearing within 48 to 72 hours.
  • Patients achieved an average social recovery time of two weeks, without reports of major lower eyelid malposition such as ectropion or retraction.
