BLOCKINRobotic-assisted technology has not been used in aesthetic surgery so far. The authors examined the feasibility and potential advantages of robotic-assisted technology in upper face rejuvena-tion surgery, as well as utility of the tools available in the market. Forehead lift was performed along with blepharoplasty in 4 patients. Robotic da Vinci Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Inc.)...

I want to thank the editor for asking me to address the topic of the surgical management of postblepharoplasty lower eyelid retraction (PBLER). Thanks to the authors for sharing their work with Aesthetic Surgery Journal.1 Lower eyelid retraction following lower blepharoplasty has long been an important topic of interest to aesthetic surgeons, both in terms of its prevention and its treatment. G...

BACKGROUND Lower lid blepharoplasty has potential for significant long-lasting complications and marginal aesthetic outcomes if not performed correctly, or if one disregards the anatomical aspects of the orbicularis oculi muscle. This has detracted surgeons from performing the technical maneuvers necessary for optimal periorbital rejuvenation. A simplified, "five-step" clinical approach based o...

437 Some cases of extensive bilateral xanthelasma palpebrarum have been reported. In those cases, similar to our case, soft and yellow plaques involved all four eyelids. The histopathologic findings were described well, but the treatment methods were not mentioned or almost all were laser ablations [2,3]. Rohrich et al. [4] suggested current management principles for xanthelasma palpebrarum. An...

The lower eyelid skin will retain its pigmentation and wrinkles after a routine lower blepharoplasty. Phenol peeling with croton oil combinations produces a complementary lightening of the skin and an improvement of the wrinkling. Deep peeling with phenol and croton oil has been controversial because of the hypo-pigmentation that generally results. This report explains the technique used by the...
