Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to describe and evaluate a new surgical browlift technique with functional results and minimal visible scarring.

Methods: The authors retrospectively reviewed all charts of patients who underwent the alternative browlift procedure between January 2015 and June 2019 ( n = 41). To assess the cosmetic and functional outcome after surgery, the authors contacted all operated patients to fill in a nonvalidated questionnaire.

Results: The study included 29 of the 41 patients, who were treated during the period January 2015 to June 2019. The questionnaires validated the authors' findings with 72.4% of the patients being satisfied or very satisfied about the final scar formation. Twenty-one (72.4%) of patients experienced long-term symptom improvement with a mean improvement of 7.71 ± 2.09 on a 1 to 10 point scale. Fifteen (51.7%) patients experienced recurrence with a recurrence time of 19.2 (±13.5) months, none of which required redo surgery. Seven (24.1%) patients underwent a blepharoplasty surgery in a second stage.

Conclusion: The authors conclude that for brow ptosis the authors' novel procedure is a suitable, cheaper alternative to treat brow ptosis with little to no complications compared to more standardized techniques (i.e. direct, open, or endoscopic browlift).

背景：本研究的目的是描述和评估一种新的手术提眉技术，其功能效果和最小的可见疤痕。方法：作者回顾性回顾了2015年1月至2019年6月期间接受替代眉提手术的所有患者的图表（n = 41）。为了评估手术后的美容和功能结果，作者联系了所有手术患者填写一份未经验证的问卷。结果：该研究纳入了41例患者中的29例，这些患者在2015年1月至2019年6月期间接受了治疗。问卷调查证实了作者的发现，72.4%的患者对最终的疤痕形成感到满意或非常满意。21例（72.4%）患者出现长期症状改善，平均改善（7.71±2.09）（1 ~ 10分制）。15例（51.7%）患者复发，复发时间为19.2（±13.5）个月，无一例需要重做手术。7例（24.1%）患者在第二阶段接受了眼睑成形术。结论：作者得出结论，对于上睑下垂，作者的新方法是一种合适的，更便宜的治疗上睑下垂的替代方法，与更标准化的技术（即直接，开放或内窥镜下提眉）相比，几乎没有并发症。
