Published: August 2010

Techniques in oculofacial surgery continue to develop as our understanding of anatomy and pathophysiology continue to evolve. While the centerpiece of the quest to rejuvenate the upper eyelid and brow has for years been the upper blepharoplasty, several modifications to traditional techniques have been developed that allow for enhanced outcomes utilizing less invasive approaches. Techniques discussed include removal of lower lid lateral fat via the upper blepharoplasty, a minimally invasive resuspension lateral canthoplasty performed via the upper eyelid exposure, brassiere lateral brow contouring closure, and correction of lower lid retraction by an "en-glove" technique.

The Utility of Preoperative Phenylephrine Testing in Müller Muscle Conjunctival Resection Surgery for Involutional Ptosis.

Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg

January 2025

Division of Orbital and Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery, Jules Stein Eye Institute, University of California, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.

Purpose: Phenylephrine testing prior to Müller muscle conjunctival resection has traditionally been used to predict postoperative outcomes. The purpose of this study is to determine if preoperative phenylephrine testing impacts postoperative changes in eyelid position.

Methods: In this multicenter cross-sectional cohort study, 270 eyelids of participants with involutional ptosis and levator function >12 mm who underwent Müller muscle conjunctival resection were divided into 2 comparison groups.

Acquired torticollis due to an ocular surface foreign body.

J AAPOS

December 2024

Department of Ophthalmology, Boston Children's Hospital, Massachusetts Eye and Ear, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts; Picower Institute for Learning and Memory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Electronic address:

Ocular torticollis is traditionally attributed to eye misalignment, nystagmus, ptosis, or refractive error. We present 3 pediatric cases of acquired torticollis caused by a foreign body beneath the upper eyelid. The head posturing presumably developed to minimize contact of the foreign body with the corneal surface and mitigate ocular discomfort.

Background: Myoepithelial carcinoma is a very rare yet aggressive tumor in children. Surgical intervention and local radiotherapy often lead to post-therapy complications, affecting both the aesthetic and functional quality of life in survivors. Hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers offer a minimally invasive option to improve the appearance and quality of life for these patients once they are declared tumor-free.
