Aesthetically attractive eyelids typically exhibit a combination of features, including ideal eyebrow height, volume, and contour; appropriate eyelid height and shape; harmonious upper eyelid fullness; and a balanced amount of visible tarsa…

Lower blepharoplasty is among the most performed facial procedures. It is performed by either a transcutaneous or a transconjunctival approach. The transconjunctival approach offers several advantages compared to the transcutaneous approach…

Understanding surgical anatomy is crucial for facial plastic surgeons performing blepharoplasty. This article highlights the senior author's 41-year experience with transcutaneous lower eyelid blepharoplasty, emphasizing techniques for opti…

Esthetic blepharoplasty is a commonly performed facial cosmetic surgery aimed at enhancing the periocular region by reducing excess skin, fat, or muscle in the eyelids. However, this procedure carries the risk of altering the canthal positi…

In recent years, endoscopic upper and midface rejuvenation techniques have advanced dramatically with the advent of endoscopic dissection in the sub-SMAS plane. The temporal tunnel approach exploits this tissue plane in the midface via a sm…

Recent focus on aging face surgery has seen a paradigm shift in approach and related outcomes. This article describes the author's experience with extending prezygomatic dissection in deep plane facelift surgery to the suborbicularis space,…

[BACKGROUND] Full-incision double eyelid blepharoplasty is a widely sought-after procedure in East Asia. However, tarsus-skin or levator aponeurosis-skin fixation techniques may lead to deep folds and scarring. This study aimed to evaluate …

[BACKGROUND] High-eyelid crease (HC) is one of the most common complications following blepharoplasty and is often accompanied by sunken upper eyelid, scar adhesion, or blepharoptosis, posing significant clinical challenges. Based on the an…

[BACKGROUND] Common complications of upper blepharoplasty include significant changes in crease height and disappearance. These issues are frequently observed in patients with overactive frontalis muscles. [OBJECTIVES] This study aimed to …

[BACKGROUND] Local anesthesia is commonly used in upper blepharoplasty but presents several drawbacks, including swelling and distortion of the upper eyelids. These effects can lead to temporary intra- and postoperative pseudoptosis, compli…

[BACKGROUND] Buried suture double eyelid surgery is widely performed in East Asia due to its minimally invasive nature and natural outcomes. However, crease stability can vary over time, and reoperation is needed in some cases. Upper eyelid…

[INTRODUCTION] Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is performed via transconjunctival and subciliary approaches. In the subciliary approach, we have compared 2 methods: biplanar flaps versus a composite flap, with the goal of improved short-term re…

[PURPOSE] To evaluate the quantitative changes in subfoveal choroidal thickness (CT), retinal thickness, and choroidal vascularity index (CVI) following upper eyelid blepharoplasty in patients with dermatochalasis, using spectral-domain opt…

[AIM] The objective of this study was to investigate and characterize the phenotypic features of Asian individuals with true downslanting palpebral fissure, analyze the specific anatomic characteristics of their ocular structures, make an a…

[BACKGROUND] Double eyelid blepharoplasty, a procedure to create a supratarsal fold in the upper eyelid, is among the most frequently performed aesthetic surgeries in East Asian populations. The buried suture technique is often preferred du…

[BACKGROUND] Malpractice litigation remains a source of professional and financial risk in aesthetic surgery. Prior Westlaw/LexisNexis studies typically focus on single procedures. We assessed aesthetic surgery malpractice across five commo…

[PURPOSE] Corticosteroid use is commonly associated with an increase in intraocular pressure (IOP). Our retrospective study aims to evaluate the effect of short-term periocular topical triamcinolone acetonide (TA) use on IOP. [METHODS] A r…

[BACKGROUND] Disregarding the influence of Hering's law of equal innervation, which dictates conjugate movement of the eyelids during saccadic eye movements, in blepharoptosis correction leads to unsatisfactory surgical outcomes. The author…

[PURPOSE] The vasculature within the lower eyelid fat pads in bilateral lower eyelid blepharoplasty (BLLB) surgery is not well described. Characterization of vasculature may help prevent excessive bleeding by describing the locations where …
