dc.description.abstractBackground:Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is one of the most common surgeries performed worldwide. However, an important problem after surgery is scar formation. The authors aimed to compare the efficacy of extractum cepae and silicone-based gels on postoperative scar appearance in patients undergoing upper eyelid blepharoplasty.Methods:After suture removal, patients were divided into 3 groups: group 1 [n=82, extractum cepae, sodium heparin, and allantoin mixture, Contractubex Gel (Merz Pharmaceuticals, Frankfurt, Germany)], group 2 [n=81, silicone-based gel (Dermatix Ultra Silicone Gel, Menarini, Singapore)], and group 3 (n=77, no additional treatment). Patients used the topical gels twice daily. All evaluations were performed on color photographs by 2 physicians during the postoperative first and third months.Results:The mean visual analog scale scores were significantly higher in all 3 groups in the postoperative first month (4.39 +/- 2.03, 4.41 +/- 2.57, and 4.33 +/- 2.46, respectively) compared with the postoperative third month (2.22 +/- 1.24, 2.15 +/- 1.38, and 2.29 +/- 1.47, respectively) (P=0.014, 0.037, and 0.026, respectively). The Is the scar more stiff score was higher in the postoperative first month compared with the third month.Conclusions:In conclusion, blepharoplasty scars improved up to the postoperative third month, but the topical gels used did not significantly improve the cosmetic appearance of blepharoplasty scars compared with the control group.
