Carbon dioxide laser blepharoplasty.

Abstract:

:An experience utilizing the carbon dioxide laser for blepharoplasty in a series of 40 patients with an average follow-up of 16 months is reported. The advantages of this method include improved control of intraoperative hemorrhage which occurs because the laser cauterizes small vessels as it cuts tissues. Postoperative ecchymosis and edema are minimal and early rehabilitation occurs. Complications and technical disadvantages are discussed, concluding that the carbon dioxide laser offers a safe alternative with some distinct intraoperative and postoperative advantages to conventional blepharoplasty surgery.
