The aim of this randomized and masked prospective trial is to compare the effectiveness of Liquid Bandage (Octyl-2-Cyanoacrylate) and 6/0 nylon suture as a wound closure device in upper lid blepharoplasty surgery.
Tissue adhesives have been safely used in a variety of surgical procedures for several years. Butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (Histoacryl) and Octyl-2-cyanoacrylate (Dermabond) was also studied for cosmetic blepharoplasty with satisfactory results. Liquid Bandage (Johnson & Johnson, Skillman, NJ, USA) is a more flexible formulation of octyl-2-cyanoacrylate available in many american drugstores for home use. Animal models shown that this product could accelerate the healing of lamellar wounds and studies in humans have demonstrated its safety and effectiveness as an occlusive protective film over cuts, abrasion and wound surgery. Liquid Bandage was also used as a temporary wound barrier in clear corneal cataract surgery with satisfactory applicability. There is no study in the literature using this device in blepharoplasty yet.

| Bilateral Upper eyelid blepharoplasty | Procedure | Bilateral upper lid blepharoplasty was performed on each patient by the same experimented surgeon using a standard technique. One side (right or left upper eyelid) was randomly chosen for experimental closure with liquid bandage and the opposite eyelid served as the control being used a 6/0 nylon continuous sutures. |

|---|---|---|
| The overall cosmetic outcome of wound closure technique (experimental: tissue adhesive Octyl-2-cyanoacrylate versus control: traditional nylon suture). | thirty days after surgery |
