Treatment of paralytic ectropion with composite chondrocutaneous graft.

We present our experience with correction of paralytic ectropion in 10 patients with a composite chondrocutaneous graft obtained from the scapha of the ear. This large composite graft is sutured to the tarsal plate to support the lower lid. It prevented exposure keratitis in all patients. Two patients needed minor secondary revisions of the corners of the cartilage graft. The donor defect healed satisfactorily without deforming the ear. There were no other complications and no other lid or visual problems. At 3-year follow-up, the results thus far appear long lasting.

Endoscopic techniques in coronal brow lifting.

Laboratory investigations in fresh cadaver heads demonstrated the feasibility of endoscopic techniques applicable to aesthetic surgery of the face, including the cheeks, the forehead, the orbit, the nose, and the nasal septum. Clinical experience with coronal brow lifting in 32 patients using endoscopic techniques is also presented. The elimination of the ear-to-ear coronal incision is an obvious advantage. The endoscopic approach accomplishes division and weakening of the corrugators, procerus, and frontalis muscles, as well as moderate elevation of the eyebrows. Excess skin is accommodated by dissecting the scalp posteriorly toward the occiput.
