Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of upper eyelid rejuvenation surgery in Vietnamese women over 50 years of age. Methods: A prospective, non-controlled interventional study was conducted on 57 patients with upper eyelid dermatochalasis treated using two surgical techniques: eyelid crease incision and sub-brow incision. Scar quality was assessed using the Manchester Scar Scale at 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Early complications were recorded within the first 7 days. Patient satisfaction and symptom improvement were evaluated at 3 and 6 months. Results: Most patients presented with moderate to severe dermatochalasis, with prominent symptoms including eyelid heaviness (87.5%) and ocular fatigue (57.89%). At 6 months, both techniques achieved 100% flat and inconspicuous scars, with the eyelid crease group reaching 100% color match with surrounding skin. Edema was the most common early complication (38.6%), while hematoma was rare (1.75%). The rate of symptom improvement ranged from 86.79% to 98.11%. Conclusion: Both surgical techniques are safe and effective, providing significant aesthetic and functional improvement after 6 months of follow-up.
