Methods: A retrospective review of was conducted of patients who received modified epiblepharon repair preserving orbicularis oculi muscle from April 2016 to October 2018. Removal of the orbicularis oculi muscle was minimally performed with eyelash rotating sutures and epicanthal weakening procedure. The preoperative severity of epiblepharon was classified according to skin fold height and cilia-corneal touch. Main postoperative outcomes were evaluated by functional success and cosmetic satisfaction.
Results: A total of 208 eyelids of 104 patients were evaluated. The mean age was 7.2 ± 4.2 years with a mean follow-up time of 5.6 ± 4.6 months. Functional success was obtained in 206 eyelids (99.0%). Only two cases that had a total epiblepharon score of 7 showed a recurrence of mild cilia-corneal touch, but reoperation was not required. The cosmetic satisfaction score was 8.7 ± 1.8 (range, 1-10). The excellent cosmesis group with a cosmetic score of 9 or higher had significantly higher skin fold height (=0.027).
Conclusions: Modified epiblepharon repair preserving orbicularis oculi muscle can be effective in the treatment of lower epiblepharon regardless of its severity. Excellent outcomes were obtained functionally and cosmetically without debulking of the orbicularis oculi muscle.

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.

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.

Marin Amat syndrome is a phenomenon in which eyelids close upon opening of the mouth during the recovery phase after facial nerve paralysis. In this report, we present two surgically treated cases of Marin Amat syndrome with aponeurotic ptosis. Case 1: A 66-year-old man had developed left Bell's palsy a year prior to presentation and underwent rehabilitation at the Neurology Department of Japan Community Healthcare Organization Chukyo Hospital.

Purpose: To compare the meibographies and dry eye parameters of paretic vs non-paretic sides of patients with a facial palsy diagnosis.
Patients And Methods: Twenty patients with unilateral facial palsy were recruited and the severity of the disease was staged using the House-Brackmann scale. A comprehensive dry eye evaluation was performed using the Oculus 5M Keratograph.

Age-related changes to the orbicularis oculi muscle include impaired eyelid function, such as lagophthalmos, alterations in tear film dynamics, and aesthetic changes like wrinkles, festoons, and the descent of soft tissue. To date, the structural and functional changes that would comprehensively increase our understanding of orbicularis aging have not been analyzed. This study aims to investigate functional outcomes using surface electromyography and correlate them with ultrastructural changes in orbicularis during aging.
