AI Article Synopsis
- The aging process can be identified by changes in the midface, particularly the dropping of the malar pad due to laxity in the supporting ligaments.
- Over the last 15 years, techniques for midfacial elevation have advanced, particularly with the use of endoscopic methods.
- Innovative options like thread-lifting and the Endotine Midfacetrade mark have expanded the surgical choices available for correcting age-related changes in the midface.
Article Abstract
An early sign of the aging process involves changes to the midface. The loss of the lid-cheek continuum begins with underlying laxity in the orbitomalar ligament. As the face continues to age, the malar pad drops inferomedially in position. The approach to the midface has evolved over the past 15 years with the advent of endoscopically assisted techniques of midfacial elevation. Further technology, such as thread-lifting procedures and the Endotine Midfacetrade mark, have supplemented the choices for surgical correction of this facial segment. Descriptions of the different approaches to the aging midface are reviewed.

Introduction: Modern orthodontics is undergoing a revolution with the advent of 3D imaging, offering unprecedented perspectives for the evaluation and treatment of facial asymmetries. These asymmetries, whether mandibular, maxillary, or dental, require a deeper understanding of their causes and their aesthetic and functional impact. Additionally, associated functional imbalances must be addressed for comprehensive management.

Objective: Post-surgical lip symmetry assessment is a key indicator of cleft repair success. Traditional methods rely on distances between anatomical landmarks, which are impractical for video analysis and overlook texture and appearance. We propose an artificial intelligence (AI) approach to automate this process, analyzing lateral lip morphology for a quantitative symmetry evaluation.

Objective: Ultrasonographic examination is easy, fast, safe, and used in various fields; however, its application to the facial area has been limited. Complex anatomical structures are mixed within thin, soft tissues in the facial region; therefore, understanding their structural characteristics is crucial. This study aimed to use ultrasonography to obtain information on the layered structure and soft tissue thickness of the eye area around the orbicularis oculi muscle and provide guidance for clinical practice.

The healing of lower eyelid injuries can lead to anatomical distortion and compromise the function of multiple periocular structures. To restore eyelid function and aesthetics, it is crucial to establish an accurate diagnosis and provide appropriate treatment to the affected structures. The presented case describes the diagnosis and surgical treatment of a lower eyelid symblepharon, which can be easily misdiagnosed as other scarring sequelae.

Injection cosmetic procedures have shown rapid continuing growth in the last 2 decades. Various substances are injected into the periorbital region for skin quality increase and correction of tear trough deformity, including hyaluronic acid, peptides, collagen, and others. Sometimes patients get accidentally injected with different substances that are not approved for cosmetic treatment in this anatomic area.
