The number of publications on blepharoplasty is increasing rapidly. Bibliometric analysis can help surgeons quickly and systematically understand the current state of development. To our knowledge, there are no bibliometric studies on blepharoplasty, and therefore, we conducted this study to reveal research trends and perspectives of blepharoplasty.
Relevant publications from 2002 to 2021 were extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection database. After manual screening, VOSviewer software and CiteSpace software were used to collect and analyze the acquired data.
A total of 1125 publications were included and the publications per year increased annually. Contributions from the USA led both quantity and quality. The University of California System was one of the most influential academic institutions. Aesthetic Plastic Surgery had the most publications, and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery was the most frequently cited or co-cited journal. Massry GG and Hamra ST were the most prolific and co-cited authors, respectively. Additionally, Rohrich RJ had the highest number of citations per publication. References co-cited analysis identified that lower eyelid research was a hotspot. Keywords were mainly divided into 6 clusters, namely "lower lid blepharoplasty," "complications," "facial rejuvenation," "blepharoptosis," "upper blepharoplasty," and "Asian blepharoplasty and epicanthoplasty."
Blepharoplasty research is flourishing, and three clusters may be the hotspots: "Lower blepharoplasty and mid-face rejuvenation," "overall facial outcome and quality-of-life," and "Asian blepharoplasty and epicanthoplasty."

有关眼睑成形术的出版物数量正在迅速增加。文献计量分析可以帮助外科医生快速、系统地了解当前的发展状况。据我们所知，目前尚无关于眼睑成形术的文献计量研究，因此，我们开展了本研究以揭示眼睑成形术的研究趋势和前景。
从Web of Science核心合集数据库中提取2002年至2021年的相关出版物。经过人工筛选后，使用VOSviewer软件和CiteSpace软件对获取的数据进行收集和分析。
共纳入1125篇出版物，且每年的出版物数量呈逐年上升趋势。美国的贡献在数量和质量上均居首位。加利福尼亚大学系统是最具影响力的学术机构之一。《美容整形外科学》的出版物数量最多，《整形与重建外科》是被引用或共同被引用频率最高的期刊。马斯里·G·G和哈姆拉·S·T分别是发文量最多和共同被引用次数最多的作者。此外，罗里奇·R·J的每篇出版物被引用次数最高。参考文献共同被引用分析表明下睑研究是一个热点。关键词主要分为6个聚类，即“下睑眼睑成形术”“并发症”“面部年轻化”“上睑下垂”“上睑眼睑成形术”以及“亚洲人眼睑成形术和内眦赘皮成形术”。
眼睑成形术研究正蓬勃发展，三个聚类可能是热点：“下睑眼睑成形术和中面部年轻化”“整体面部效果和生活质量”以及“亚洲人眼睑成形术和内眦赘皮成形术”。
证据水平III：本刊要求作者为每篇文章指定证据水平。有关这些循证医学评级的完整描述，请参阅目录或作者在线指南www.springer.com/00266 。
