Benefits of Laser Blepharoplasty

Laser blepharoplasty is more efficient in soft tissue surgery and in some case use of laser is more effective than some standard techniques. The laser acts as three instruments when used properly, a cutting tool used for incision, cautery and a dissection device. Due to this the total operating time reduced. In laser blepharoplasty, the intraoperative is further increased near the absolute hemostasis which is often achieved when working in pre-orbital regions. Co2 laser has greatest incisional application in pre-orbital regions. The dissection with CO2 laser for eyelids in laser blepharoplasty performed on delicate vascular structures with a low risk of tissue distortion, functional impairment and hematoma formation. Laser blepharoplasty allows surgery in pre-orbital regions with low risk on vascular structures. Use of laser in some certain incisional procedures like blepharoplasty Ptosis repair and correction of eyelid retraction gives better precision.

There is an issue which is unclear whether incision procedure in laser blepharoplasty benefits the blepharoplasty surgeon, patient or both. Some study about laser blepharoplasty reported that benefit of CO2 laser over scalpel for incision includes quicker recovery time. The surgeons preferred blepharoplasty with laser due to improved intraoperative hemostasis. This has been noticed by the surgeons and patients that laser blepharoplasty reduce recovery time as well as operating time.
