Post-operative Lower Eyelid Massage for Prevention of the Lower Eyelid Scare Contracture After Subciliary Approach

The massage technique was executed with the patient in a fully open-eyed state, maintaining an upward gaze. The lateral aspect of the distal phalanx of the index finger was employed, exerting pressure on the lower eyelid to bring its margin into contact with the upper eyelid margin for a duration of 10 seconds per repetition. This procedure comprised 10 repetitions per set, administered once hourly, spanning 10 hours daily. The massage instruction was provided either by the authors or plastic surgery residents.
