Popis: To evaluate the postoperative changes with a computer vision algorithm for anterior full-face photographs of patients who have undergone upper eyelid blepharoplasty surgery with, or without, a Muller’s muscle-conjunctival resection (MMCR). All patients who underwent upper eyelid blepharoplasty surgery (Group I), or upper eyelid blepharoplasty with MMCR (Group II) were included. Both preoperative and 6-month postoperative anterior full-face photographs of 55 patients were analyzed. Computer vision and image processing technologies were used to measure the palpebral distance (PD), eye-opening area (EA), and average eyebrow height (AEBH) for both eyes. Preoperative and postoperative measurements were calculated and compared between the two groups. In Group II, change in postoperative Right PD, Left PD, Right EA, Left EA was significantly higher than in Group I (p = 0.004 for REPD; p = 0.001 for LEPD; p = 0.004 for REA; p = 0.002 for LEA, p
