ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of blepharoplasty, ptosis or eyebrow surgery to quality of life and use of medication related to headache or eyelid skin disease.METHODS:
A longitudinal, prospective study including 90 consecutive patients who underwent blepharoplasty, ptosis, eyebrow or combined surgery. The quality of life related to headache was evaluated by HIT6™ and to eyelid skin disease by Skindex-Mini SDM. Use of medication was measured by number of days per week medication was used for headache or eyelid skin disease.RESULTS:
Preoperatively 46 (51%) had headache, 4 (4%) eyelid skin and 2 (2%) headache and eyelid skin symptoms. The median HIT-6 difference was -21 (range -36-0; p < .0001) and the median SDM difference was -13 (range = -15 to -1; p = .036). The median difference in medication days/week related to headache was -1 (range -4-0; p < .0001) and to eyelid skin disease -1.5 (range -3 to -1; p = .034).CONCLUSIONS:
This study shows that after upper eyelid blepharoplasty, ptosis or brow ptosis surgery, headache or eyelid skin disease-related quality of life measures are significantly improved, and the use of headache or eyelid skin-related medication is significantly less.
