Lower eyelid lengthening surgery targeting the posterior layer of the lower eyelid retractors via a transcutaneous approach
The lower eyelid retractors consist of double layers, the posterior layer of which is the main tractional component. Therefore, shortening of the posterior layer of the lower eyelid retractors causes lower eyelid retraction or cicatricial entropion. Based on this concept, we report a modified lower eyelid lengthening surgery involving complete recession of the posterior layer of the lower eyeli...

METHODS This was a chart review study of...
متن کاملMicroscopic Characteristics of Lower Eyelid Retractors in Koreans
PURPOSE To identify the microscopic characteristics of lower eyelid retractors in Korean individuals and to elucidate age-related changes in lower eyelid retractors. METHODS Eighteen Korean lower eyelids from formalin-fixed cadavers were stained with Masson's trichrome. Specimens were divided into two groups based on age at death (group A, ≤65 years; group B, >65 years), and the microscopic f...
