Article Synopsis
- Malar mounds (congenital) and festoons (acquired) are persistent puffiness in the facial area, and this paper discusses a surgical technique to treat these issues, focusing on a study of 89 cases.
- The surgical correction involves a combination of procedures including a subciliary skin-muscle flap and midface lift, with the study analyzing outcomes over a follow-up period of at least six months.
- Results indicate that most patients had acquired festoons and, while some experienced persistent malar edema post-surgery, the condition improved with specific treatments, demonstrating the effectiveness of the surgical approach.
Background: The introduction of third-generation ultrasound-assisted liposuction (3rd UAL) allows for a less invasive modality of both deep and superficial lipectomy while offering improved skin retraction and reduced rate of complications. This study examined the efficacy and safety profile of this technology over 15 years of clinical experience.
Methods: A consecutive series of patients treated from 2005-2020 by the senior author were reviewed for demographic and anthropometric measurements, intraoperative settings, surgical outcomes, and complications via retrospective chart review.
Background: The most common reason for dissatisfaction and reoperation in lower blepharoplasty patients is persistent bulging of the lateral fat pad. This compartment contributes the most to fat herniation and yet is the most commonly overlooked. The addition of a septal window, a small opening of the septum on the most prominent part of the lateral fat compartment, helps with precise removal of lateral fat and allows for additional fat excision after septal reset without disrupting the arcuate expansion.

Although usually asymptomatic, the risk of increased left ventricular (LV) wall stress, irreversible myocardial fibrosis and sudden death in untreated moderate conditions warrants clearer risk stratification for appropriate timely intervention. In this study, we explore the use of a patient-specific mathematical model to introduce a new evaluative parameter of LV performance in patients with moderate aortic valve disease.
