Abstract

Background: Lower blepharoplasty is one of the most commonly performed aesthetic procedures in the United States. Although lower blepharoplasty techniques have evolved significantly, it remains a considerable surgical challenge, associated with many aesthetic and functional complications. This review aimed to elucidate the safety and complication profiles of lower blepharoplasty.

Methods: A comprehensive review of the literature was performed using PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane databases to identify studies that report the complication profiles of lower blepharoplasty techniques.

Results: A total of 36 articles meeting inclusion criteria and critically evaluating lower blepharoplasty and its associated complications were analyzed and discussed.

Conclusions: This review reports the overall safety and low complication profile associated with lower blepharoplasty. No major complications resulting in ocular and visual disturbances are reported, and the majority of complications resulting in functional and aesthetic concerns can be resolved with conservative management or revisionary surgery. More rigorous studies are needed to more critically assess and compare the various surgical techniques.

下睑成形术的安全性和并发症：系统回顾。

背景：下睑成形术是美国最常见的美容手术之一。虽然下睑成形术技术有了显著的发展，但它仍然是一个相当大的手术挑战，与许多美学和功能并发症有关。本综述旨在阐明下睑成形术的安全性和并发症概况。方法：使用PubMed/MEDLINE、Embase和Cochrane数据库对文献进行全面回顾，以确定报道下睑成形术并发症的研究。结果：我们对36篇符合纳入标准并对下睑成形术及其相关并发症进行了批判性评价的文章进行了分析和讨论。结论：本综述报道了下睑成形术的总体安全性和低并发症。没有严重并发症导致眼部和视力障碍的报道，大多数并发症导致的功能和美学问题可以通过保守管理或修正手术解决。需要更严格的研究来更严格地评估和比较各种手术技术。
