FACE-Q in Blepharoplasty
- Conditions
- Dermatochalasis of Upper Eyelid
- Interventions
- Procedure: Blepharoplasty
- Registration Number
- NCT04924972
- Lead Sponsor
- Medical University of Vienna
- Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to assess the effect of two different suturing techniques in patients undergoing bilateral upper eyelid blepharoplasty on the results of the FACE-Q Eye Module questionnaire for measuring patient-reported outcomes as well as on the blinded objective assessment by two experienced surgeons using the same questionnaire.
We aim to investigate the differences of the 2 most common techniques of skin closure with running cutaneous or subcuticular Nylon (6-0 Prolene) sutures in upper blepharoplasties and their effect on postoperative complications and scar formation. Besides the functional outcomes (visual field) and objective postoperative results, we aim to measure the patients' satisfaction using the FACE-Q Eye Module as a comprehensive, procedure- and disease-specific patient-reported outcome instrument.
