Application of Orbital Septal Fat Repositioning Combined With SVF-Gel Fillers in Lower Blepharoplasty.

Background: Lower blepharoplasty is a widely used cosmetic surgical procedure to improve under-eye bags and tear trough deformities, aiming to enhance facial aesthetics and achieve a more youthful appearance. The formation of these deformities is often associated with factors such as aging, skin laxity, and fat displacement. Traditional surgical methods include orbital septal fat repositioning and fat grafting, each with its own advantages and limitations.

A New Method of Orbital Septal Fat Flap in Transconjunctival Approach.

Background: Orbital fat release is critical in blepharoplasty for correcting tear trough deformities, but traditional transconjunctival approaches often face limitations due to restricted fat volume and pedicle length. This study introduces an innovative technique by reconstructing the orbital fat flap, aiming to improve tear trough coverage and optimize Aesthet outcomes.

Methods: The technique is achieved by reconstructing the orbital fat flap.

The Application of Reverse Z-Plasty Design in Medial Canthal Skin Redundancy Reconstruction Surgery.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical outcomes of reverse Z-plasty in the reconstruction of epicanthal fold.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis on clinical data from patients who underwent medial canthal skin redundancy reconstruction surgery from September 2019 to January 2023. The surgical procedure involved a preoperative design for the incision line, suborbicularis oculi dissection to create a muscle flap, and the use of a reverse Z-flap for the reconstruction of the lateral canthal fold.

Reconstruction of upper eyelid and medial canthus following basal cell carcinoma resection: a successful one-stage repair with three local flaps.

Background: Excision of upper eyelid skin cancer often leads to moderate to large defect. Numerous procedures are available to reconstruct such defects, and the reconstructive path chosen should be individualized for each patient. The aim of the reconstruction is a movable eyelid, perfect corneal protection, good aesthetic quality, and acceptable sequelae at the donor site.

[Long-term results after the correction of the paralytic ectropion caused with leprosy in 115 eyes].

Objective: To analyze the long-term results after the correction of the paralytic ectropion in leprosy.

Methods: Seventy-four patients with 115 paralytic ectropion eyes after leprosy were treated with the surgical procedures included medial canthoplasty, medial canthal tendon plication, lateral tarsal strip, medial canthal resection, lateral canthoplasty, and lid shortening. The results were evaluated with the follow-ups from 2 to 4 years.

How long can hair follicle units be preserved at 0 and 4 degrees C for delayed transplant?

Background: Preservation of hair follicle units for the purpose of delayed transplant will help us graft thousands of hair grafts at one session, even in a clinic with fewer assistants and less equipment.

Objective: This study was undertaken to evaluate and compare the viability of hair follicle units preserved at 0 and 4 degrees C for various periods.

Materials And Methods: Cell cultures and transplant of hair follicle units into athymic mice were performed.

[Long-term results of two temporalis muscle transfer procedures in correction of paralytic lagophthalmos].

Objective: To compare the long-term results and possible complications of a modified temporalis muscle transfer (TMT) with the Johnson's procedure in correction of paralytic lagophthalmos.

Methods: From September 1997 to March 2000, paralytic lagophthalmos due to leprosy in 92 patients were corrected with TMT. The 89 cases (127 to eyes including 51 unilateral and 38 bilateral) followed up 3 years after operation were analyzed.

[A long-term follow-up result of posterior tibialis muscle transfer for foot-drop in leprosy patients].

Objective: To determine the long-term results and possible complications of the posterior tibialis transfer in correction of the foot-drop in leprosy patients, and to compare the results by the circum-tibial and interosseous routes.

Methods: From January to October 2001, 37 cases (treated from October 1989 to October 1999) were followed up. Walking gait, active dorsiflexion and plantar flexion of the ankle joint, deformities of the feet, and patients' satisfaction were recorded.
