Purpose:

Addressing the hooding during upper blepharoplasty (UB) may result in lateral wound dehiscence (LWD). The aim is to report the frequency of LWD, report the technique and results of a simple measure to prevent LWD, and compare its frequency after using this method.

Methods:

An audit of 2003-2009 UB procedure was performed.Subsequently, subjects were divided into two groups based on intra-operative assessment of lateral wound tension (Same technique and surgeon). Group 1 received 1-3 orbicularis/subcutaneous buried sutures (6-0 polyglactin) before interrupted 6-0 nylon skin closure. Group 2 just had skin closure. Minimum follow up wa 6 months.

Results:

There were 14 (14/678, 2%) cases with LWD with a mean age of 36.2 years in the audit (2003- 2009). Prospective study included 68 subjects (68/293, 23.2%) in the group 1 and 225 in the group 2. Two groups were not different with regard to the gender (P=0.3) and simultaneous forehead and eyebrow procedures (P=0.4). However, subjects in group 1 (mean age: 41.4 years) were significantly (P= 0.000) younger than group 2 (mean age: 56.1 years). Frequency of LWD significantly (P=0.04) decreased to 0.3% (1/293).

Conclusion:

In the presence of wound tension on skin closure, tension relieving buried suturing of the lateral UB incision could prevent LWD.
