OUTCOMES OF UPPER EYELID CREASE SURGERY VIA MINIMAL INCISION IN VIETNAMESE ADULTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the outcomes of upper eyelid crease surgery using a minimal incision technique. Subjects and Methods: A prospective descriptive case series study was conducted on 50 Vietnamese adults who underwent upper eyelid crease surgery with a minimal incision at the Plastic Surgery Department of Bach Mai Hospital and Hoe Nhai General Hospital from January 2023 to July 2024. Results: Two weeks post-surgery, all patients (100%) showed resolution of redness and swelling, with no complications such as bleeding or local infection. Three months post-surgery, most patients (98%) achieved good treatment outcomes, with a high satisfaction rate (98%). There were no complications such as crease asymmetry, crease loss, ptosis, or incomplete eyelid closure. However, one case (2%) required revision surgery using a full incision technique due to the appearance of multiple creases. Conclusion: Upper eyelid crease surgery using a minimal incision technique provides good results, high patient satisfaction, and no significant complications.
