Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: To determine the position of the lower eyelid and lateral canthus after release of the lower eyelid retractors with the "inside-out technique" by measuring the marginal reflex distance 2 (MRD2) and using the lateral canthal rounding scale.
DESIGN: Retrospective analysis.
RESULTS: Of the 171 patients who underwent inside-out blepharoplasty, 78 were followed up for 3 months. Preoperative MRD2 was 0.942 pixels. Postoperatively, the modified MRD2 was 0.903. Although the score of the modified MRD2 was found to decrease postoperatively, the decrease was not statistically significant (P < .07). The lateral rounding scale reviewed an average preoperative score of 2.04 and a postoperative score of 1.99. There was no statistical difference between pre- and postoperative observations based on a 1-tailed t test. No complications were reported.
CONCLUSION: Using photographic analysis, the study found no difference in lateral canthal shape or MRD2 before and after surgery in patients who underwent inside-out blepharoplasty.
