Introduction: Lower blepharoplasty is considered one of
the puzzling procedures in plastic surgery and the search of
one ideal technique is going on, thus we performed this
prospective study in order to compare the functional and
aesthetic outcomes of 2 different blepharoplasty techniques.
Methods: 40 patients requesting blepharoplasty were
divided randomly into 2 sub-groups in respect to the technique
used; the traditional blepharoplasty or the no touch technique.
Results: The overall rate of incidence of complications
was 22.5%. No statistically significant difference in-between
the 2 groups.
Conclusion: The no touch technique; through our experience
in this study; has proven to be a safe, successful and
efficacious technique for lower eyelid rejuvenation.
