Design outcomes
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The age (in years) and sex will be registered for all patients as these variables could possibly influence the recovery of sensibility of the upper eyelid after blepharoplasty. In addition, it will be listed as a patient develops a wound infection or wound healing disorder during the follow-up appointments, because this could affect (the recovery of) the sensiility of the upper eyelid too. | — |
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary study parameters are sense of pressure, tactile sensation, temperature and pain. Also we will look at the time (number of weeks) that has passed between blepharoplasty and the time of testing. The sense of pressure will be registered as level of pressure (value between 0,5 and 6,0 cm). The sense of tactile sensation, temperature and pain will be registered as intact or disturbed. The results for the sense of pressure will be presented as the average level of pressure. For the sense of tactile sensation, temperature and pain, the percentage of patients whereby the modality is intact will be the primary outcome measure. | — |
