ABSTRACT
Objective: To assess the surgical outcomes of the eyebrow lift technique of
transblepharoplasty and the complications presented.
Methods: A descriptive, retrospective, longitudinal study was carried out with 12 patients (24 eyelids) with eyebrow ptosis associated with upper eyelid dermatochalasis, from May to
September 2018, in the Ocular Plastic Surgery office of Ramón Pando Ferrer Cuban Institute
of Ophthalmology. Those who already had a previous surgery of the upper facial third were
excluded.
Results: 83.3% of the patients were female. Regarding the age groups, the group of people
over 62 years of age was more frequent. There was a predominance of the white race,
accounting for 58.3%. In 60% of female cases (6 patients), dermatochalasis of the upper eyelid,
associated with eyebrow ptosis, was moderate. Eyebrow ptosis was corrected in 18 eyelids, for
75%. 25% of complications were presented (3 patients).
Conclusions: The eyebrow lift technique of transblepharoplasty achieves eyebrow correction
in the greatest number of patients with a low percentage of complications, and constitutes a
good surgical option for this type of eyelid condition.
