Resumo
Purpose: To present combined procedures performed for cosmesis in patients with dermatochalasis who underwent upper lid blepharoplasty (ULB). Method: This retrospective cross-sectional study evaluated patients who underwent ULB with associated surgical procedures from 2012 to 2016. Data were collected on patient demographics and types of procedures. The primary outcome measure was ancillary procedures combined with ULB. Data were analyzed for correlation. Statistical significance was defined as P < 0.05. Results: A total of 1,068 ULBs were performed in 825 (86.3%) females and 131 (13.7%) males. The median age was statistically higher in males (P < 0.001). Isolated ULB was performed in 296 (31%) patients, and correction of brow ptosis was the most common associated procedure (206/21.5%), followed by repair of eyelid ptosis (183/19.1%). Conclusion: The majority of patients required combined surgical procedures to correct periorbital involutional changes. A detailed preoperative evaluation is fundamental for choosing the appropriate surgical technique for each case, which can determine the final aesthetic result.
