Risk factors for early eyelid swelling following blepharoptosis surgery: A retrospective study

Starling's law is important to consider in preventing postoperative swelling, as it explains which factors contribute to edema. Surgical manipulation also triggers factors that cause swelling. Bleeding, inflammation, and lymphatic damage further exacerbate swelling. Knowing the risk factors for swelling in advance helps predict postoperative outcomes and helps inform patients, which may also improve postoperative management. Future studies using multivariate analysis are expected to provide valuable insights into preventing and managing postoperative eyelid swelling.
