Description
Summary:Recent studies on post-operative measurements for upper blepharoplasty utilized static photographs, which fail to accurately reflect the post-surgical dynamic naturalness of the eyelids. This study aimed to analyze dynamic naturalness after double-eyelid blepharoplasty using a simple smartphone method involving slow-motion videos. This prospective observational study enrolled patients who underwent double-eyelid blepharoplasty using the flexible suspension technique (FST) and rigid fixation technique (RFT) and individuals with congenital double-eyelids. Demographic information was collected, and super-slow-motion videos of the eye-opening processes were recorded using a smartphone. Four keyframes were selected from each video, from which several parameters were measured. A third party evaluated the degree of naturalness of the photographs and eye-opening videos. Sixty women (20 per group) were enrolled. The fold-emerging delay (FED) score showed a linear correlation with the mean third-party dynamic naturalness rating (DNR) (R2=0.71, p
