Objective: To investigate the ideal method for correction of vermilion deformity in congenital cleft lip.
Methods: From Mar. 2010 to Jan. 2013, 68 cases with congenital cleft lip underwent vermilion deformities correction with composite skin-vermilion triangle fap and functional reposition of orbicularis oris muscle.
Results: Primary healing was achieved in all the patients. 46 cases were followed up for 3 months to one year. Asymmetric thickness of vermilion and tubercle malposition happened in 8 cases. All the other patients had a satisfactory result with symmetric and fluent cupid' s bow and everting tubercle.
Conclusion: Well reposition of orbicularis oris muscle is key for correction of vermilion deformity and tubercle reconstruction. This technique is very simple and practical.

Purpose: This study aims to compare the lateral brow-eyelid contour following traditional blepharoplasty versus blepharoplasty with brassiere sutures using 3D imaging.
Methods: This prospective, randomized, comparative, parallel-group trial involved 56 female patients with dermatochalasis. Patients with an odd number of letters in their first names underwent traditional upper blepharoplasty (group A), while the rest underwent blepharoplasty with orbicularis oculi muscle fixation (group B).

This article delves into innovative surgical techniques, the open-book ROOF (retro-orbicularis oculi fat) transposition technique (OBRoof) and the orbicularis-frontalis sliding maneuver (OFS), designed for eyebrow and upper eyelid rejuvenation in the aging process. Emphasis is placed on understanding the dynamic changes occurring within the forehead and eyebrow envelope's five layers and their intrinsic relationships as well as the impact of the ROOF ptosis causing upper eyelid hooding. The OBRoof technique is highlighted for its effectiveness in addressing ptotic volume, offering a rejuvenated appearance by relocating volume to the supraciliary region.

The procedure involves incision of the conjunctiva and dissection of the tear trough and orbicularis retaining ligaments, followed by repositioning of the sufficiently released orbital fat as a pedicle. Various techniques have been used to fixate the repositioned fat, including direct suturing of the fat to the target area (internal fixation) and suturing the repositioned fat pedicle and pulling out the suture toward the lower eyelid skin (external fixation).
