BACKGROUND Facial fractures may lead to sequelae due to the trauma but also as a result of surgery. Complications to lower eyelid incisions include ectropion, scleral show, entropion, canthal malposition, and lid edema. The aim of this study was to compare the occurrence of such complications depending on whether a subciliary or transconjunctival incision was used for surgical access. METHODS...

PURPOSE To compare surgical outcomes of internal (transconjunctival) vs external (subciliary) involutional entropion repair. DESIGN Retrospective, consecutive case series. METHODS Electronic medical record review of all patients who underwent involutional entropion repair at the Jules Stein Eye Institute over a 4-year period was performed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Anatomic and functional suc...

According to the author, suture elevation of the malar fat pad is a simple, safe, and reliable procedure to reestablish a youthful malar contour, shorten the lower eyelid, and improve the nasolabial crease. Access for incision placement may be prehairline, subciliary, or intraoral, depending on patient characteristics and the goals of surgery.

To the Editor: Approaches to the craniofacial skeleton have been developed to provide good surgical access and to obtain cosmetically favorable scars. The zygomatic complex and the orbit present a significant concern for postoperative scars because of their prominent visibility on the face. A zygomaticomaxillary orbital complex fracture may require exposure of the zygomatic buttress through the...

Learning Objectives: After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Describe the anatomic differences in the subciliary versus the subtarsal approach. 2. Discuss the difference between the “skin-only” and the “skin-muscle flap” variations of the subciliary approach. 3. Discuss the potential complications of both approaches. 4. Discuss the advantages of the subtarsal approach...
