Subciliary Blepharoplasty: Effectiveness Is Not a Trade for Safety

چکیده
MeThODS In 16 cadavers, the motor innervations of the orbicularis oculi muscle (m.OO) were studied. Multiple anastomoses between the 3 buccal branches were noticed within the medial two-thirds of the lower lid just below the arcus marginalis. They did not anastomose with the zygomatic branch, which tangentially entered the m.OO in front of the lateral canthus. Hence, the safety of m.OO undermining along the lateral half of the lower orbital rim was confirmed.

Cosmetically favorable scars using the upper blepharoplasty incision.
To the Editor: Approaches to the craniofacial skeleton have been developed to provide good surgical access and to obtain cosmetically favorable scars. The zygomatic complex and the orbit present a significant concern for postoperative scars because of their prominent visibility on the face. A zygomaticomaxillary orbital complex fracture may require exposure of the zygomatic buttress through the...
متن کاملTransconjunctival septal suture repair for lower lid blepharoplasty.
BACKGROUND The need for a safer lower-lid blepharoplasty procedure than the classic subciliary approach has long been recognized. In 1996, de la Plaza and de la Cruz first theorized septal suturing via a transconjunctival approach that preserves both muscle and infraorbital fat. This is the first report of a series of patients treated with this technique. The transconjunctival approach can avoi...
متن کاملImprovement of Infraorbital Rim contour Using Medpor
BACKGROUND Asymmetry of the infraorbital rim can be caused by trauma, congenital or acquired disease, or insufficient reduction during a previous operation. Such asymmetry needs to be corrected because the shape of the infraorbital rim or midfacial skeleton defines the overall midfacial contour. METHODS The study included 5 cases of retruded infraorbital rim. All of the patient underwent rest...
متن کاملComparison of the Effects and Side Effects of Ropivacaine with Xylocaine-Adrenaline Combination Injection in Upper-lid Blepharoplasty
Purpose: To compare the effects and complications of lidocaine/adrenaline with Ropivacaine in candidates for upper-lid blepharoplasty. Methods: This study was conducted as a clinical trial. Forty patients with superior upper-lid blepharoplasty following local anesthesia were randomly divided into two groups. In the first group (intervention), ropivacaine and in the second group (control) lidoca...
