Oxygen saturation mapping during reconstructive surgery of human forehead flaps with hyperspectral imaging and spectral unmixing.
Microvasc Res
November 2023
Department of Ophthalmology, Clinical Sciences Lund, Lund University, Sweden; Skåne University Hospital, Department of Clinical Sciences Lund, Ophthalmology Lund, Sweden.
Article Synopsis

Direct Browlift.
Clin Plast Surg
July 2022
Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cole Eye Institute, 9500 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44195, USA.
Direct browlifting comprises various techniques to lift the brows using incisions on or around the brows. The classic direct browlift involves removing an ellipse of skin and subcutaneous tissue within or just above the brow cilia. However, the technique can be modified to address only lateral brow ptosis, to place the incision in the midforehead or the eyelid crease, and to place the incisions in different areas during bilateral surgery to attempt to improve symmetry.
