Periocular infantile hemangioma (IH) sometimes hinders proper eye opening and limits the visual field. Even short-term deprivation of hemilateral vision may cause amblyopia in infants during the visually sensitive period and, thus, necessitates prompt treatment. Propranolol is a commonly known remedy for IH, though it may not act sufficiently to rapidly resolve a vision-threatening critical condition in an infant. Low birth weight is a significant risk factor for IH incidence. Despite the high incidence, evidence-based treatment for IH in preterm infants has not been established. This report describes periocular IH of an extremely premature low-birth-weight infant (body weight: 526 g) whose lesion showed no reduction after oral administration of propranolol for 2 weeks but was successfully treated by topical steroid injection and eyelid thread-lifting management, with no eventual visual impairment.

Anatomical perspectives of brow-lifting using threads: Clinical cases with techniques.

Article Synopsis
- - Understanding age-related changes in patients is crucial for performing effective blepharoplasty, especially since many seeking this surgery also show signs of eyebrow ptosis, highlighting the need for knowledge in brow and forehead rejuvenation techniques.
- - Various methods, including thread lifting with V and I techniques, are available for enhancing the forehead and eyebrows, with thread lifting considered a less invasive option that sits between surgery and non-surgical treatments.
- - Surgical procedures like endoscopic lifts and eyebrow lifting have their own pros and cons, but successful cases using cog threads demonstrate that careful anatomical approach is key for effective eyebrow elevation, despite thread lifting requiring repeated treatments for optimal results.
Advanced Facial Rejuvenation: Synergistic Effects of Lower Blepharoplasty and Ultrasound Guided Mid-Face Lift Using Polydioxanone (PDO) Threads.

Background: Traditional facial aging surgeries have risks and extended recovery times, leading to a demand for minimally invasive alternatives. PDO (polydioxanone) threads, which are absorbable sutures that stimulate collagen production and tissue contraction, offer improved aesthetic outcomes. This paper evaluates the combined use of PDO thread mid-cheek lift and lower blepharoplasty for facial rejuvenation.

Background: Thread lifting is a common procedure in minimally invasive esthetic techniques and can also be used to raise the drooping soft tissue of the forehead by vertically inserting threads into the forehead.
Aims: This study aimed to examine the effect of forehead thread lifting on enhancing upper eyelid opening.
Methods: Fifteen patients were included in this study, all of whom underwent eyebrow thread lifting with MINT LIFT® UP.

Background: Tear trough deformity, hyperpigmentation, and skin laxity of the lower eyelid make individuals appear fatigued and elderly. Many patients prefer less invasive, cosmetic correction of the aged lower eyelid. Polydioxanone (PDO)-barbed threads introduced braided fine threads design, which works as a template for attraction of the regenerative factors and for cells' migration and proliferation.
