Article Abstract

Lower eyelid malposition is the cause of many ophthalmologic complaints, including ocular foreign-body sensation, irritation, excessive tearing, and sensitivity to light. The lower eyelid and midface are intimately associated structures. Midface descent frequently occurs in conjunction with lower eyelid laxity and descent. Elevating the lower eyelid and midface back to their normal anatomic positions frequently improves symptoms in these patients. The author has utilized the same techniques frequently used by aesthetic surgeons to elevate the lower eyelid and midface for patients, with improvement or resolution of their ocular complaints. The technique and results are presented.

Background: With globalization, oculoplastic surgeons must understand the intricate morphological nuances of the periocular region across ethnicities to ensure precise treatment and avoid facial disharmony or dysfunction. Direct comparisons in two-dimensional (2D)-based periocular morphology between studies can be challenging due to the limited number of parameters and complicated variations in equipment, environments, measurement personnel, and methods. Therefore, it is imperative to explore the detailed three-dimensional (3D) periocular morphological disparities between young Caucasian and Chinese populations.
