| Popis: | 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.Retrospective analysis.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.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. |
