Comparison of Colorado Needle Electrocautery and Traditional Scalpel for Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty Incision: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is one of the most popular aesthetic procedures. Electrocautery provides a hemostatic benefit for skin incision; however, its effect on scar cosmesis remains unclear, particularly in Asian skin types. We compared the Colorado needle electrocautery (pure-cutting mode) versus the traditional scalpel in terms of efficacy, complications, and cosmetic outcomes.

Unlabelled: Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is a popular aesthetic surgery. Electrocautery provides a hemostatic benefit for skin incision; however, its effect on scar cosmesis remains unclear, especially in Asian skin types. We aimed to compare the Colorado needle electrocautery pure cutting mode and the traditional scalpel to determine their efficacy, complications, and cosmetic outcomes.
