Purpose: Our aim was to describe a rare mild complication of eyelid surgery presenting as transient hyperpigmentation along the suture lines. Methods: A retrospective case series of 6 patients experiencing transient hyperpigmentation following eyelid surgery. Each patient underwent either blepharoplasty alone or blepharoplasty with ptosis repair utilizing Müller muscle conjunctival resection. Data including surgery type, hyperpigmentation laterality and location, time to diagnosis, follow-up time, and outcome were assessed. Results: All 6 patients with hyperpigmentation were females. All patients underwent blepharoplasty, including 1 upper eyelid blepharoplasty and 4 with both upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty. One patient underwent bilateral upper blepharoplasty with concurrent posterior approach ptosis surgery repair of the left upper eyelid. Hyperpigmentation was bilateral in all 5 blepharoplasty cases and unilateral in the ptosis repair case. Hyperpigmentation included the medial portion of the operated upper eyelid in all cases. Time to diagnosis ranged from 1 to 4 weeks postoperatively, and follow-up time ranged from 3 to 5 months. Management was conservative in all cases. Five patients experienced complete resolution, and 1 patient experienced near-complete resolution on a 3-month follow-up. Conclusions: Transient hyperpigmentation is a rare posteyelid surgery complication, generally with an excellent outcome not requiring additional intervention.
