Skin Resection
https://t.me/med1917
The holding suture is now removed and the excess skin in the lower eyelid is pressed out cranially and smoothed with a small moist com­press.
If local anesthesia has been used, the patient should be asked to open and close his or her mouth several times. This is to ensure that only skin which can be smoothed over the eyeball without any tension is in fact resected. Tension of any kind is to be avoided.
5 Eyelid Surgery – Blepharoplasty
The surgeon grasps the skin on the lateral corner of the eyelid with the small surgical tweezers. Exerting mild tension, he or she then resects theexcessskinparalleltothelowereyelid. (Fig. 5.35)
Only after this procedure has been performed is skin resection carried out in the lateral ocular angle in a crow‘s foot pattern. (Fig. 5.36)

In general, canthal sutures are not necessary. These are made only in caseswiththickskinandpronouncedeyeliddrooping.Forthiskindof suture, a small part of the muscle is attached to the periosteum of the lateral bony orbital margin with a 5/0 PDS suture to relieve the tension on the overlying skin. (Fig. 5.37)
Sutures and Dressing
Before cutaneous sutures are made, a small amount of fibrin adhesive is distributed in the wound to prevent swelling and bruising.
The skin flap is then modeled over the edges of the incision without any tension. (Fig. 5.38)

Suturing of the skin commences on the lateral edge. Two or three sim­ple interrupted sutures are made between here and the lateral ocular angle. A small needle and 6/0 Ethilon suture material are used to prevent any bleeding caused by the stab incisions. (Fig. 5.39)
Subsequently, the wound is closed by continuo us 7/0 subcuticular sutures. The assisting surgeon holds the suture material for the contin­uous sutures under constant mild tension.
The last suture in the medial ocular angle should be placed in a cranial to a caudal manner to prevent irritation of the conjunctivae during the recovery phase. The end of the thread is left relatively long; it is not knotted.
Intracutaneous sutures are a possible alternative here. However, they do not offer any aesthetic advantages, and we prefer the illustrated method. (Fig. 5.40)

The wound is subsequently bandaged with two pieces of Steri-Strip tape. These are left in place for 24 h. The wound is cooled intermittently for 1 day . (Fig. 5.41)

Postoperative Treatment and Precautions
As a rule, the patient remains in the hospital overnight following the operation.
The lower eyelid region is cooled intensively. If the operation was performed under local anesthesia, however, the patient can leave the hospital 4 h after the procedure.
The antibiotic treatment instituted intraoperatively should be con tin­ued for 5 days postoperatively. The Steri-Strip tape and the sutures are removedonday1andday4postoperatively,respectively.
The patient should wear sunglasses for at least 8 days after the opera­tion to prevent irritation of the wound or conjunctivae by sunlight.
Lower eyelid surgery is followed by a longer recovery period than upper eyelid surgery . Mild swelling and bruising can persist for up to 2 weeks. Lymph drainage can cause the swelling to subside more quickly. After the sutures have been removed, bruises can be covered with camouflage makeup.
Any small scars which remain can be “polished away” with a laser after ½–1year.Thisisnecessaryonlyinextremelyrarecases,however.
