Because the periorbital region is highly visible, it is important to avoid poor scar formation in this cosmetically sensitive region. No study to date has investigated the possible existence of keloid formation following eyelid procedures.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study systematically reviewed the literature to identify cases of hypertrophic scar and keloid formation following cosmetic or functional (nonburn) eyelid procedures to aid surgeons when counseling patients.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A PubMed\/MEDLINE search was conducted on May 17, 2022, using appropriate search terms: \u201cblepharoplasty,\u201d \u201ctarsorrhaphy,\u201d \u201ccanthotomy,\u201d \u201cptosis repair,\u201d \u201cepicanthoplasty,\u201d \u201ckeloid,\u201d \u201chypertrophic scar,\u201d and related lay terms.

Full-text review resulted in 34 articles included for analysis. Twenty manuscripts reported no occurrences of hypertrophic scars. Only 13 manuscripts reported patients with hypertrophic scarring, which equated to 36 patients out of 3650. One individual was identified in a series of 77 patients who developed a keloid after a tarsorrhaphy. No articles reported a keloid as an outcome of strictly cosmetic procedures.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study concludes that there are no reported instances of keloid formation following cosmetic (nonburn) eyelid procedures in the existing literature. Hypertrophic scar formation is minimally reported. The absence of keloid scar formation on the eyelid is critical knowledge for surgeons when educating patients about maladaptive scarring risks following eyelid procedures.<\/jats:p>\n
