A canthoplasty or canthopexy is indicated at the time of lower blepharoplasty to avoid postoperative complications, such as eyelid retraction or ectropion. Various surgical techniques are described to accomplish this goal, including canthopexy procedures, which usually access the lateral canthal tendon through an upper eyelid blepharoplasty or lateral canthal incision.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>To describe an incisionless technique adjunctive to lower blepharoplasty, which stabilizes the lower eyelid in the week following blepharoplasty.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This operative technique description and retrospective case series includes 15 patients who underwent a simple incisionless temporary stabilization (SITS) during lower eyelid blepharoplasty. The procedures were performed at the same outpatient office-based surgery center and were performed by the author surgeons. Patients were followed from 3 to 6 months postoperatively.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The SITS procedure during lower eyelid blepharoplasty successfully maintained a desirable functional and aesthetic eyelid position with minimal complications. One patient reported tearing postoperatively which was determined to be unrelated to the SITS and resolved by the 1-month follow-up visit. No patient had any other complications during the follow-up period.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The SITS procedure was successfully utilized in patients with mild-to-moderate lower eyelid laxity and\/or a negative vector to prevent postoperative ectropion and eyelid retraction. It is a more favorable alternative to temporary tarsorrhaphy, as it does not obstruct vision during healing and better secures the eyelid. It should not be used in patients with significant lower eyelid laxity that would place the patient at significant risk of ectropion and lower eyelid retraction related to swelling and inappropriate eyelid position during the early postoperative course.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Level of Evidence: 4<\/jats:title>\n
