“…These tests gauge the readability and the educational level needed to understand the content and are commonly used in many research studies to assess the readability of online materials for various surgeries, such as Rhinoplasty and submental fat reduction. [12,13] Initially, we calculated the mean and standard deviation for both the Flesch Reading Ease and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, as well as for the percentage of passive sentences. We then categorized the six questions into three groups: Candidate and Expectations, Procedure Details, and Recovery and Risks.…”

Purpose Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly advancing and profoundly influencing healthcare, offering the potential to revolutionize access to medical information. As medical misinformation proliferates and online searches for health-related advice increase, there is an escalating need for dependable patient information. This study evaluates the effectiveness of an AI chatbot in delivering information for blepharoplasty candidates. Materials and Methods Numerous frequently asked questions on blepharoplasty sourced from the ASPS website were asked to ChatGPT. The responses were then rigorously cross-referenced with relevant scholarly literature and meticulously reviewed by the research team to determine their accuracy. Additionally, the questions were classified into three categories, and the responses were evaluated using Flesch-Kincaid readability metrics, along with ANOVA and trend analysis tests. Results Despite minor variations, ChatGPT's responses to blepharoplasty FAQs largely aligned with current literature. Overall readability analysis showed a Flesch Reading Ease score of 31.48, indicating high school complexity with a Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level at 10.92, and 20.97% use of passive voice. The ANOVA results showed that there were no significant differences in readability between the categories (p-values: Flesch Reading Ease = 0.816, Flesch-Kincaid = 0.616, Passive Sentences = 0.115). Trend analysis also showed that the level of response complexity stayed the same across the questions. Conclusion ChatGPT is an evolving tool that holds potential for patients in accessing and comprehending medical information. While it can offer accurate insights, it's important to recognize that its answers might not consistently reach complete accuracy or be suitable for patients with varying educational levels.

“…If necessary, consultation with the patient's primary care physician is recommended. 5 An ophthalmic history is very important in the preoperative assessment. The interview should include information about visual acuity, previous eye injuries, and eye conditions (e.g., glaucoma, allergic reactions, dry eye).…”

“…However, it should be noted that ablative lasers require longer recovery time and may carry higher risks. 5 Studies have shown that both CO2 and Er:YAG lasers have a similar degree of skin tightening, but Er:YAG lasers may lead to more scarring and have less coagulation abilities compared to CO2 lasers. On the other hand, fractionated CO2 laser resurfacing was comparable to traditional ablative resurfacing, but had lower risk of complications and shorter recovery time.…”

Introduction and purpose Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring the functionality and/or aesthetics of the eyelids. The aim of the study is to draw attention to the factors influencing the recovery period at successive stages of therapeutic procedures. A brief description of the state of knowledge: Preoperative consultation is important in selecting patients, planning surgical procedures, identifying potential complications and meeting patients' expectations. In patients with hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and anticoagulant treatment, a worse scar assessment, longer recovery period and more complications have been observed. Patients who have undergone refractive surgery within the last 6 months are not suitable candidates for blepharoplasty. Nutrition status has a significant impact on wound healing and tissue repair after aesthetic medicine procedures. The use of continuous sutures compared to tissue glue results in similar wound healing time and postoperative discomfort level. Postoperative wound care is essential for the healing process. Electrostimulation of the wound does not accelerate edema reduction. We have focused on many complications, such as swelling, bleeding, infections, eyelid malposition, dry eye syndrome, wound dehiscence, ways to cope with these problems, and the role of lasers. Summary (conclusions): Important is the proper preparation of the patient for the procedure. A detailed interview and examination influence therapeutic decisions, allowing the doctor to choose the most optimal treatment methods that will shorten the recovery time. Blepharoplasty is one of the most commonly performed aesthetic procedures, so we propose the development of publicly accessible standards that should be included in the initial interview.

“…The quest for facial plastic surgery has greatly ticked up among both genders in the last decade with blepharoplasty ranking among the top 10 requested procedures. While surgical techniques have largely been the mainstay of managing defects in the lids, newer non-surgical methods now also exist to correct such condition and are gaining wider acceptability[ 4 ].…”

BACKGROUND As one of the most common aesthetic surgical procedures carried out today, blepharoplasty should be in the repertoire of every plastic surgeon. The term blepharoplasty encompasses a wide range of techniques and options that must be tailored to the specific defect and patient one has to treat. A sound knowledge of the upper and lower eyelids’ anatomy is essential for proper surgical execution. Trends have shifted towards more conservative methods (especially of the fat compartment) and sometimes in combination with augmentation techniques, helping to reach a rejuvenated appearance. AIM To present an overview of the surgical techniques considered for upper lid blepharoplasty and fat pad management, in addition to information on how a surgeon may approach the best treatment for his patient based on current publications in literature. METHODS We searched the literature published between 2013, to 2023 using Medline and Reference Citation Analysis. The database was searched using the keywords “upper blepharoplasty” AND “fat”. Papers without full text/abstracts and reviews were excluded. The search strategy followed the PRISMA. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons guidelines for Therapeutic Studies checklist was used to assess all articles. Two authors individually reviewed each article and rated them for importance and relevance to the topic. A consensus was sought and the most relevant studies. RESULTS After the application of the selection criteria used in our review, 13 publications were found to address upper lid blepharoplasty specifically. Three of these studies were reviews and three were retrospective studies. Five publications were comparative studies and a further two were clinical trials. CONCLUSION The tendency of modern surgery is to be conservative, by removing adipose tissue only if strictly necessary and restoring the volume of the upper eyelid in a concept of beauty that espouses a "full" sight. There is no gold standard technique to achieve younger and enhanced eyelids. Long-term prospective comparative studies are fundamental in understanding which path is the best to follow.
