Lower lid blepharoplasty surgery can be a challenging procedure for both the neophyte and the accomplished surgeon. It requires mastering complex periorbital anatomy and choosing the correct approach from a wide variety of patient presentations. This article spans the meticulous clinical evaluation, diagnostic approaches, and surgical techniques required to address challenging clinical scenarios of the lower eyelid, lid-cheek junction, and midface. By following these principles, surgeons can achieve excellent esthetic and functional results, even in the most challenging cases.

Modified Infrabrow Blepharoplasty for Periorbital Rejuvenation in Asia Women.

J Craniofac Surg

December 2024

Department of Plastic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou.

Objective: The infrabrow blepharoplasty is a common surgical operation indicated in Asians for periorbital rejuvenation. This operation alone is difficult to achieve the correction of crow's feet. Therefore, the authors elucidate the authors' experiences of applying infrabrow blepharoplasty combined with the subcutaneous undermining of the lateral periorbital region to treat upper eyelid dermatochalasis with lateral hooding deformity and alleviate crow's feet, including its indications, operative procedures, and postoperative outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • Blepharochalasis is a rare eyelid condition causing painless swelling, usually of the upper eyelids, which can be challenging to diagnose and often requires surgical treatment rather than medication.
  • A case study of a 12-year-old highlights recurrent eyelid swelling over six years, eventually diagnosed as blepharochalasis and treated with blepharoplasty.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial, as blepharochalasis can be mistaken for other conditions like nephrotic syndrome, emphasizing the need for careful clinical evaluation.

Article Synopsis
  • The epicanthus is a common eye feature among Asians, often prompting requests for medial epicanthoplasty to improve appearance by removing the prominent fold.
  • Traditional surgical methods have varied success and often result in significant scarring, which is particularly concerning for Asian patients prone to visible scars.
  • A newer technique called skin re-draping focuses on making inconspicuous incisions and has shown better results with less scarring, though it requires careful execution due to the complexity of the eye's anatomy.

Background: Upper eyelid surgery (UES) is a therapeutical strategy used for those patients affected by blepharospasm (BSP) who either do not respond or experience a gradual decrease in responsiveness to botulinum toxin (BoNT) injections. Nevertheless, most of them need to restart with BoNT despite the intervention.

Aim: To evaluate the long-term post-surgical response to BoNT in patients with BSP and to identify predictive factors associated to treatment outcome.
