Levator Extension Method for Correcting Double Eyelids in Elderly Asian Patients: A Reliable and Flexible Blepharoplasty Technique.

Background: Conventional tarsal fixation techniques for creating a static double-eyelid fold frequently result in a nonmobile overdepression of the fold, which is particularly pronounced in elderly patients.

Objectives: We propose a novel surgical approach aimed at achieving better results with fewer complications. This approach involves imitating the natural double-fold physiology by employing a turn-over flap of the orbital outer septum and carefully managing the pretarsal soft tissue to create a double fold.

Aesthetic Removal of Foreign Body Granulomas of Forehead Via Pretrichial Approach.

In the field of plastic surgery, various filler types have been developed, which are widely used for cosmetic or reconstruction purposes. However, unregulated substances often injected by unlicensed practitioners may cause difficult-to-treat side effects, such as foreign body granulomas. Since the forehead is an exposed area and the lesions are likely extensive, complete surgical removal with inconspicuous scar can be difficult.

Feasibility of a polydioxanone plate as an adjuvant material in rhinoplasty in Asians.

Background: Nasal framework-supporting procedures such as septal extension grafts, derotation grafts, and columellar strut grafts are usually required in rhinoplasty in Asian patients because the skin envelope is tight, but the nasal framework is small and weak. Autologous materials are preferred, but they have some limitations related to the amount that can be harvested and the frequency of use. Therefore, synthetic materials have been used to overcome these limitations.

Comparison of Postoperative Outcomes Between Monitored Anesthesia Care and General Anesthesia in Closed Reduction of Nasal Fracture.

Fracture of nasal bone is among the most common facial bone fractures. Reduction of nasal bone fracture is able to be performed under local or general anesthesia. The aim of this study is to compare monitored anesthetic care (MAC) and general anesthesia (GA) based on intraoperative vital signs, and the adverse effects after closed reduction of nasal bone fractures.
