One of the most popular plastic surgical interventions both abroad and in Kazakhstan is blepharoplasty. Plastic surgeons continue to debate various methods for performing this operation; however, some of the methods used by plastic surgeons for preoperative marking of the upper eyelid skin may not be suited to the type of incision that should be used on the eyelids of individuals from Kazakhstan. For this reason, the surgery may not achieve the desired results. We conducted a study of patients from Kazakhstan who underwent upper blepharoplasty using a simplified technique for eyelid marking that we developed at our plastic surgery center. We used the Patient-Reported Outcome Measure Questionnaire (PROM-Q) to measure patient satisfaction and the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) to measure scar quality. The results of our study showed that the majority of patients who underwent upper blepharoplasty performed by surgeons using our method of preoperative marking were extremely satisfied with the effect. The patients noted rapid tissue repair and minimal scarring. We concluded that the use of a simplified marking technique can significantly help aesthetic surgeons performing upper blepharoplasty by reducing the risk for negative postoperative effects.
