Abstract
Purpose: To get insight of the prevalence, nature and severity of the sensory disturbances that may occur in the skin of the upper eyelid after upper eyelid blepharoplasty, as well as the duration and degree of recovery of them. Material and methods: Examination of sensibility was divided into the perception of touch, temperature, pressure and pain. These modalities of sensibility were tested by the tip of a cotton ball, a Tip-Therm, a Cochet-Bonnet aesthesiometer and a neurological pin. The tests were performed prior to, one week after and six to eight weeks after the upper eyelid blepharoplasty at three (perceptions of touch and temperature) or six (perceptions of pressure and pain) different places of the upper eyelid. Results: One week and 6-8 weeks after the upper eyelid blepharoplasty touch with a cotton ball was centrally on the upper eyelid significantly more often missed than before surgery (p <0,05). The number of correctly named contacts with the Tip-Therm was not significantly different for all tested sites at the different moments. One week after the upper eyelid blepharoplasty, centrally and nasally under the scar, the average pressure threshold was significantly lower than before surgery (p <0,01), after 6-8 weeks centrally under this was still the case (p <0,01). One week after the upper eyelid blepharoplasty centrally and nasally under the scar contact with the neurological pin was significantly more often mislabeled than before surgery (p <0,05), which was centrally under the scar still the case after 6-8 weeks (p <0,01). Conclusions: One week and 6-8 weeks after upper eyelid blepharoplasty, centrally under the surgical incision the perceptions of touch, pressure and pain were decreased. Laterally on the upper eyelid the perceptions of touch, temperature, pressure and pain remained undisturbed. One week after upper eyelid blepharoplasty, nasally under the scar the perceptions of pressure and pain were decreased, but often were restored after 6-8 weeks. At this place, as well as laterally, the perceptions of touch and temperature remained unaffected after surgery.
