Abstract
|
|
|
|
Double-eyelid blepharoplasty has been performed frequently in Asian patients for cosmetic purposes. However, despite improvements in various modified surgical techniques, complications of asymmetry of double-eyelids, loosening or disappearance of the double fold, inclusion cyst, and scarring are common after double-eyelid blepharoplasty. In this report, we describe a patient whose double-eyelid blepharoplasty-induced scars were effectively treated using an ablative 10,600-nm carbon dioxide (CO2) fractional laser. After four sessions of CO2 fractional laser treatment at one to two-month intervals, marked improvement of more than 80% was achieved, and the patient was satisfied with the results. In addition, possible side effects, particularly immediate or prolonged post-therapy erythema and unfolding of the double folds, were not observed. Accordingly, we suggest that CO2 fractional laser treatment be a safe and effective therapeutic option, other than surgical correction, for treatment for scar correction of double-eyelid blepharoplasty.
