The lateral open forehead lift technique uses 2 scalp incisions to elevate and suspend the lateral eyebrows, and 2 upper blepharoplasty incisions to access the muscles that produce glabellar frown lines and depress the medial eyebrows. Advantages of this technique are that side effects associated with the coronal incision, such as hair loss and overelevation of the medial eyebrow, are avoided.

BACKGROUND Double-eyelid blepharoplasty is a popular aesthetic surgery in Asians. However, the buried suture technique is associated with complications related to implantation of the suture thread. The present study was performed to identify optimal surgical suture removal techniques in Japanese patients with suture-related complications after buried suture double-eyelid blepharoplasty. METHO...

P eriorbital rejuvenation is a topic of particular interest to aesthetic surgeons, as aging changes often occur first around the eyelids, and periorbital surgery can improve both function and cosmesis. Ahead, the authors describe an approach to the periorbital aesthetic unit to treat the eyebrow, upper eyelid, lateral canthus, lower eyelid, and midface through a single upper eyelid blepharoplas...

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects blepharoplasty operation on facial attractiveness and estimated age with an artificial intelligence-based algorithm over pre- post-treatment photographs. In addition, it aimed make a comparison by reviewing observable changes according gender type (upper, lower, combined).
 Methods: Preoperative postoperative photos patients who u...

Vasovagal reflex may cause benign self-limiting syncope triggered by factors such as pain and emotional stress. However, rarely, it cardiac arrest requiring urgent resuscitation, which has heretofore not been reported during blepharoplasty. In this report, the case of a 28-year-old man who underwent blepharoplasty under local anesthesia is presented. He suddenly experienced bradycardia subseque...

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a topical product containing a mixture of growth factors and cytokines on the incision scar following upper eyelid blepharoplasty. METHODS This is a prospective, single-blinded, and split-face study on patients who underwent bilateral upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Two weeks after surgery, one eye of each subject was randomized to receive Lumière B...

BACKGROUND Upper eyelid dermatochalasis is typically treated with excisional blepharoplasty. The role of the CO2 laser previously had been confined to that of a vaporizing, incisional, or hemostatic tool. Over the past several years, however, ablative CO2 laser skin resurfacing has been popularized as an adjunctive treatment to blepharoplasty to minimize periorbital rhytides through its vaporiz...

BACKGROUND Skin adhesives provide an alternative to sutures for skin closure. The use of octyl-2-cyanoacrylate in blepharoplasty has been reported by some authors, but difficulties in applying the product and the real benefits of its use are still controversial. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to show a simple technique for closing the upper incision in blepharoplasty with octyl-2-cyan...
