This refinement of lower-lid blepharoplasty replaces bulging fat of the lower lid back into the orbit. Capsulopalpebral repair strengthens the orbital septum to retain the orbital fat in the orbit. The author describes his operative technique, focusing closely on relevant anatomy. (Aesthetic Surg J 2001;21:450-459.).

We report a case of a lower lid ectropion with ectodermal dysplasia and ectropion blepharoplasty surgery experience. A 14-year-old Han nationality male patient with typical characteristics of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia presented to our clinic for his right lower lid eversion. The patient was diagnosed as having hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia and underwent an uneventful blepharoplasty ...

Lower lid ectropion is caused by the imbalance of the lower lid protractors and retractors. Laxity of the canthal tendons will affect the degree and location of the ectropion as well as the surgical decisions for its repair. A schema for the individualization of surgical correction as well as a new application of temporalis muscle transfer is presented.

BACKGROUND Entropion is a condition in which the eyelid margin turns in against the eyeball. The involutional or senile type of entropion is one of the most common lower lid malpositions in the elderly. The interventions described and currently used for the treatment of this condition are surgical in nature, although non-surgical temporary medical treatment for the early stages of entropion has...

Aging of the lower eyelid involves a complex series of anatomic and physiologic changes that occur over time. Rejuvenation of the lower eyelid complex must systemically address the various contributions of soft tissue laxity, pseudoherniation of orbital fat, and loss of periorbital volume. This article outlines the evolution of our approach to lower eyelid blepharoplasty with a specific focus o...

The debate continues around transconjunctival versus transcutaneous approaches. Despite the perceived safety of the former, many experienced surgeons continue to advocate the latter. This review aims to present a balanced view of each approach. It will first address the anatomic basis of lower lid aging and then organize recent literature and associated discussion into the transconjunctival and...
