Perioperative Haemostasis, Procedure-Related Pain After Physiological or Pharmacological Modifications of Local Anaesthesia Around the Eyes

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether buffering, warming, or addition of hyaluronidase or tranexamic acid to lignocaine during eyelid injection of local anaesthesia reduce injection pain and procedure-related pain and improve perioperative haemostasis.

Does Unilateral Compression Dressing Reduce Postoperative Swelling and Bruising After Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty?

This study evaluated whether applying a compression dressing to one eyelid after upper eyelid blepharoplasty (eyelid lift surgery) reduces swelling, bruising, and discomfort compared to the untreated eyelid. In this randomized trial, each participant underwent bilateral upper eyelid blepharoplasty; after surgery, one eyelid was randomly assigned to receive a compression dressing for 24 hours, while the other eyelid received no dressing and served as the internal control. Outcomes including eyelid swelling, bruising, pain, aesthetic appearance, and corneal health were assessed by masked observers on postoperative days 1, 7, 30, and 90. The goal of this study was to determine whether routine use of compression dressing provides a measurable clinical benefit after this common cosmetic and functional eyelid surgery.

Comparative Study of Ziplyft Treatment vs. Traditional Blepharoplasty for Upper Eyelid Rejuvenation

This study will compare two surgery techniques used for upper eyelid (eyelift) surgery: traditional surgery and a newer method called Ziplyft (a non-powered, hand-held clamp). This study will use a "split-face" design, meaning one eyelid will be treated with the traditional surgery method and the other with Ziplyft, allowing a direct side-by-side comparison. The objectives of the study are to compare Ziplyft treatment vs. traditional surgery by evaluating bruising, wound closure and incision, surgery case time, and subject/surgeon surveys.
