- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The primary study parameters are sense of pressure, tactile sensation,<br /><br>temperature and pain.<br /><br>Also we will look at the time (number of weeks) that has passed between<br /><br>blepharoplasty and the time of testing.<br /><br>The sense of pressure will be registered as level of pressure (value between<br /><br>0,5 and 6,0 cm). The sense of tactile sensation, temperature and pain will be<br /><br>registered as intact or disturbed. The results for the sense of pressure will<br /><br>be presented as the average level of pressure. For the sense of tactile<br /><br>sensation, temperature and pain, the percentage of patients whereby the<br /><br>modality is intact will be the primary outcome measure.</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The age (in years) and sex will be registered for all patients as these<br /><br>variables could possibly influence the recovery of sensibility of the upper<br /><br>eyelid after blepharoplasty. In addition, it will be listed as a patient<br /><br>develops a wound infection or wound healing disorder during the follow-up<br /><br>appointments, because this could affect (the recovery of) the sensiility of the<br /><br>upper eyelid too.</p><br>
