Abstract
Lower eye lid blepharoplasty is a frequent cosmetic procedure. The carbon dioxide laser transconjunctival approach is a popular alternative to conventional techniques. Eight hundred eighty-nine consecutive cases were studied retrospectively to determine the occurrence of complications. All cases were included. Complications were divided into intraoperative, immediate postoperative (days 1-7) and late postoperative (greater than 7 days). Complications encountered in this study of carbon dioxide laser conjunctival blepharoplasty were uncommon and not severe.
