Enhancing blepharoplasty outcomes with a novel floor bite technique

Abstract

Blepharoplasty is a commonly performed esthetic and functional eyelid surgery. However, post-operative complications such as hematoma formation and wound dehiscence can compromise surgical outcomes. This article presents a novel modification – placing a floor bite during wound closure – to improve hemostasis, enhance wound stability, and minimize complications. The technique is simple, reproducible, and effective in reducing hematoma risk while ensuring a more secure closure with an esthetic outcome.
