Patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical technique: conventional blepharoplasty (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 80) and brassiere suture technique (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 60). Corneal topography and aberrometry were assessed preoperatively and at 3 months postoperatively using the Sirius topography system. Pre- and postoperative changes in 40 parameters were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and intergroup comparisons of delta values (\u0394) were performed using the Mann\u2013Whitney\n U<\/jats:italic>\n -test.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Neither technique resulted in significant changes in most corneal topography or aberrometry parameters (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n > 0.05). However, the brassiere suture group demonstrated significant improvements in the superior irregularity ratio (\u0394SIR) and total symmetry index (\u0394TSI) (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.006 and\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.018, respectively). In addition, a significant reduction was observed in vertical trefoil aberration at 6 mm (\u0394Trefoil vertical,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.031). No significant intergroup differences were found in other aberration or keratometric parameters.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n The brassiere suture technique demonstrated statistically significant improvements in corneal symmetry (SIR) and regularity (TSI) compared to conventional blepharoplasty. These findings indicate that the surgical approach may influence corneal surface characteristics. Further prospective studies are warranted to assess the clinical relevance of these optical changes.<\/jats:p>\n
