Background: Lately, it has become evident that eye physical aging is mainly due to depletion of the upper eyelid fat causing laxity and wrinkles of the eyelid skin, and new therapeutic strategies aimed at solving the volume loss have appeared in the literature. The aim of this study is to provide a clear classification of upper eyelid aging after 500 consecutive cases and to present a standardization of the therapeutic approach to be adopted when using hyaluronic acid (HA) as fillers or a surgical approach.

Methods: The upper eyelid aging process of a total of 500 patients was classified based on the measurement of the pre-tarsal skin show m and the pre-septal skin show N. Read More

Botulinum toxin type A (BTXA) has been reported to increase the survival of ischemic skin flaps; however, the exact mechanism underlying this effect remains unclear and needs to be further established. The present study aimed to elucidate whether autophagy caused by BTXA functions as a protection mechanism and to identify the mechanisms of its regulation by BTXA in human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HDMECs) subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced injury. HDMECs were harvested from the upper eyelid tissues of female blepharoplasty patients. Read More

Unilateral double-eyelid blepharoplasty is often required by people with unilateral single eyelid. The full incisional method may cause permanent skin scar formation, and the buried suture method may lead to early eyelid fold loosening, which could not reduce the soft tissue thickness of eyelid. A total of 85 patients (8 males and 77 females) with unilateral single eyelids were studied between January 2015 and January 2016, with a mean age of 25. Read More

Lamar Clinic, Daegu, Republic of Korea.

The nonincisional blepharoplasty technique is widely practiced because it is relatively simple, causes less scarring than the incisional technique, provides a quick recovery, and allows easy correction. Although various modified nonincisional techniques have been used to create a more natural appearance, complications such as loosening of the double fold and regression of the double fold line may still occur. So the authors introduce the double thread buried nonincisional blepharoplasty technique to reduce such complications. Read More

Background: Approximately 50% of Asians do not have upper eyelid creases. Full-incision methods may leave obvious scars and buried-suture methods cannot remove excess tissues to create a double eyelid. The new palpebral marginal incision technique masked the incision at the upper palpebral margin and removed the excess tissue, thereby achieving scarless and natural double eyelids. Read More
