Abstract

Background

People often have high expectations for blepharoplasty, and patient complaints can serve as a valuable tool to understand their specific requirements and desired outcomes.

Objectives

The objective of this study was to analyze blepharoplasty complaints and identify patient concerns regarding postoperative effects, surgical difficulties, and potential pitfalls.

Methods

A retrospective analysis of 138 complaints related to blepharoplasty was conducted. We documented demographic information and complaints details, and compared the reason of complaints between primary and revision double eyelid operations.

Results

In this study, primary double eyelid operation was found to have the highest number of complaints. “Asymmetry” is the most frequent cause of dissatisfaction in both primary and revision double eyelid surgeries, and “asymmetric crease height” accounted for the majority of complaints in this category. Compared with primary double eyelid operation, revision double eyelid operation was more likely to be complained for “asymmetric crease shape”, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The most common reasons for complaints following lower blepharoplasty, epicanthoplasty, and eyebrow lift procedures were “incomplete resection of under-eye puffiness”, “asymmetry”, and “upper eyelid laxity”, respectively. Compared to lower blepharoplasty and eyebrow lift, primary and revision double eyelid surgeries as well as epicanthoplasty are more prone to complaints of “asymmetry”. In contrast, compared to primary double eyelid operation, epicanthoplasty is more likely to result in complaints of “noticeable scarring”.

Conclusions

Complaints regarding blepharoplasty can reflect patients' expectations and requirements, as well as the challenges and pitfalls of the surgical procedure. This information can assist physicians in enhancing their comprehension of patients' needs and paying closer attention to the difficulties and potential complications associated with surgery.

“亚洲人眼睑成形术相关投诉的7年分析”。

背景：人们通常对眼睑成形术有很高的期望，患者的投诉可以作为了解其具体要求和期望结果的有价值的工具。目的：本研究的目的是分析眼睑成形术的投诉，并确定患者对术后效果、手术困难和潜在陷阱的关注。方法：对138例眼睑成形术患者的投诉进行回顾性分析。我们记录了人口统计信息和投诉细节，并比较了原发和修复双眼皮手术的投诉原因。结果：在本研究中，发现原发性双眼皮手术有最多的投诉。“不对称”是最常见的不满意的双眼皮手术和修复，“不对称折痕高度”占了这类投诉的大多数。与原发双眼皮手术相比，改型双眼皮手术因“折痕形状不对称”而被投诉的比例更高，差异有统计学意义(p)。结论：对双眼皮成形术的投诉可以反映患者的期望和要求，以及手术过程中的挑战和陷阱。这些信息可以帮助医生提高他们对患者需求的理解，并更加关注与手术相关的困难和潜在并发症。
