Deficient eyelid closure is a major visual threat to patients with unresolved facial nerve palsy. Gold weight implants assisted eyelid closure in patients with paresis of the orbicularis oculi, ameliorating patient complaints of dry eye, excessive tearing, and corneal epithelial breakdown. We used dynamic measures to assess the efficacy of upper eyelid gold weight implantation surgery for facia...

PURPOSE To report the treatment and histopathological findings in two cases who developed eyelid swelling, proptosis and diplopia due to orbital and lid lipogranuloma after endoscopic surgery of the maxillary and ethmoidal sinuses. METHODS To relieve the proptosis and diplopia, debulking surgery was done on the eyelids and orbit. The tissue removed was sent for histopathological examination. ...

PURPOSE Postblepharoplasty lower eyelid retraction is often due to scarring of the middle lamellae and/or vertical shortening of the anterior lamellae. Traditional reconstructive techniques involve a transconjunctival incision combined with a spacer graft. Other techniques involve a subperiosteal midface dissection or limited preperiosteal dissection. Elevation of the midface reduces the gravit...

results utilizing autologous stem cell populations to treat craniofacial defects is a promising field of ongoing investigations. studies show that cartilage stem/progenitor cells (cspcs) are highly chondrogenic and can produce elastic reconstructive material with long-term tissue restoration. conclusions auricular reconstruction surgery is a challenging plastic procedure that requires great exp...
