Abstract
PURPOSE The authors' aim was to describe a rare mild complication of eyelid surgery presenting as transient hyperpigmentation along the suture lines. METHODS A retrospective case series of 6 patients experiencing transient hyperpigmentation following eyelid surgery. Each patient underwent either blepharoplasty alone or blepharoplasty with ptosis repair utilizing Müller muscle conjunctival resection. Data including surgery type, hyperpigmentation laterality and location, time to diagnosis, follow-up time, and outcome were assessed. RESULTS All 6 patients with hyperpigmentation were females. All patients underwent blepharoplasty, including 1 upper eyelid blepharoplasty and 4 with both upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty. One patient underwent bilateral upper blepharoplasty with concurrent posterior approach ptosis surgery repair of the left upper eyelid. Hyperpigmentation was bilateral in all 5 blepharoplasty cases and unilateral in the ptosis repair case. Hyperpigmentation included the medial portion of the operated upper eyelid in all cases. Time to diagnosis ranged from 1 to 4 weeks postoperatively, and follow-up time ranged from 3 to 5 months. Management was conservative in all cases. Five patients experienced complete resolution, and 1 patient experienced near-complete resolution on a 3-month follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Transient hyperpigmentation is a rare posteyelid surgery complication, generally with an excellent outcome not requiring additional intervention.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effect of a compression dressing (CD) on edema, ecchymosis, aesthetic outcome, pain, and ocular surface irritation after upper eyelid blepharoplasty. METHODS We conducted a case-control study. Bilateral blepharoplasty was performed on both upper eyelids at the same time in patients with dermatochalasis. One side was randomized for CD. Edema and ecchymosis were scored at a 4-point rating scale by a blinded observer 1 day (D1), 1 week (D7), and 8 weeks (D56) after surgery; the same for scar formation regarding redness and bulging at D7 and D56. Aesthetic outcome was evaluated by the patient and blinded observer using the global aesthetic improvement score at D1, D7, and D56. Postoperative pain was scored by the patients using a visual analogue scale (0 to 10) at D1. At D1 patients had to state which side they felt more comfortable. RESULTS Edema, scar formation and aesthetic outcome evaluated by the patient and blinded observer did not differ between the 2 sides on any of the survey days (p > 0.05). The median degree of ecchymosis was slightly higher on the lids without CD at D1 (1 [0-2] vs. 1.5 [0-2]; p = 0.495) and D7 (0 [0-2] vs. 0.5 [0-2]; p = 0.183), but not statistically significant. Postoperative pain was similar regardless to the use of CD (p = 0.925). The majority (55%) found the side without CD more comfortable. There was no case of corneal erosion and corneal staining was similar in both groups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Using a CD after blepharoplasty shows no advantages regarding postoperative edema, ecchymosis, scar formation, or aesthetic results in the early postoperative period. As most patients preferred the noncovered side, CD can be omitted after blepharoplasty without inferiority for the postoperative results. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRY NCT06111170.

Abstract
Background We aimed to investigate the effect of compression dressing on edema, ecchymosis, pain, and ocular surface irritation after ptosis surgery. Methods After ptosis correction [anterior levator reinsertion (and resection) (ALR), if necessary additional blepharoplasty], the eye was randomized for compression dressing or transparent eye shield. Edema and ecchymosis were scored on a four-point rating scale by a blinded observer 1 day (D1), 1 week (D7), and 8 weeks (D56) after surgery; the same was done for scar formation regarding redness and bulging at D7 and D56. Aesthetic outcome was ranked by patient and blinded observer using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Score at D1, D7, and D56. Postoperative pain was scored using a visual analogue scale (0 to 10) at D1. Impairment after surgery by dressing or eye shield was evaluated at D1. Results Ecchymosis, edema, scar formation, and aesthetic outcome ranked by the patient and blinded observer did not differ between the groups with compression dressing and eye shield at any day of follow-up (P > 0.05). Postoperative pain and impairment were the same in both groups (P > 0.05). One case of corneal erosion occurred in the group with compression dressing at D1 (P = 0.342). At D7, corneal staining was increased in the group without compression dressing (P = 0.930). Conclusions Compression dressing after ALR does not reduce ecchymosis, edema, or postoperative pain and has no effect on early scar formation or aesthetic results. To prevent corneal erosion caused by the dressing, it can be omitted after ALR without inferiority for the early postoperative results.

Abstract
One of the most popular plastic surgical interventions both abroad and in Kazakhstan is blepharoplasty. Plastic surgeons continue to debate various methods for performing this operation; however, some of the methods used by plastic surgeons for preoperative marking of the upper eyelid skin may not be suited to the type of incision that should be used on the eyelids of individuals from Kazakhstan. For this reason, the surgery may not achieve the desired results. We conducted a study of patients from Kazakhstan who underwent upper blepharoplasty using a simplified technique for eyelid marking that we developed at our plastic surgery center. We used the Patient-Reported Outcome Measure Questionnaire (PROM-Q) to measure patient satisfaction and the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) to measure scar quality. The results of our study showed that the majority of patients who underwent upper blepharoplasty performed by surgeons using our method of preoperative marking were extremely satisfied with the effect. The patients noted rapid tissue repair and minimal scarring. We concluded that the use of a simplified marking technique can significantly help aesthetic surgeons performing upper blepharoplasty by reducing the risk for negative postoperative effects.

Abstract
Abstract
Background Blepharoplasty is one of the most-performed esthetic operations, and social media platforms have become an influential tool for distributing scientific information. Because the internet has gained popularity among medical experts and surgeons to connect with the public, we aimed to evaluate the altmetric–bibliometric analysis of the top 50 most-cited articles on blepharoplasty surgery between 2015 and 2022 and assess correlations with various metrics.
Methods “Blepharoplasty” was searched using the WoS database, and the altmetric score was obtained. Co-authors, keywords, country of authors, and cited journal network map analysis were created using VOSviewer for the 485 publications retrieved. The articles' focus was examined quantitatively and the most prolific parameters were identified.
Results The most research was performed by the USA, the most productive institution was the “University of California System,” and the most prolific author was “Wonn CH.” The number of citations ranged from 37 to 9, and altmetric attention scores ranged from 54 to 0. The most articles and citations peaked in 2021. Altmetric and Twitter scores were moderately correlated with journal metrics but there were no correlations with citation counts.
Conclusion The first comprehensive altmetric analysis on blepharoplasty surgery offers new guidelines for upcoming articles by demonstrating the recent investigation trends, prolific parameters, and zones with potential for the public's attention and education, providing valuable data regarding the distribution of scientific knowledge in social media platforms and to the general public. A social network may be used to increase the visibility of scientific articles apart from creating brands and markets.
