The preseptal and the retroseptal approaches in transconjunctival blepharoplasty.

BACKGROUND: Although transconjunctival blepharoplasty was first described in the beginning of this century, it did not start to become popular until recently. OBJECTIVE: To describe the best approaches to transconjunctival blepharoplasty and their applications. CONCLUSIONS: There are two distinct approaches in this technique: the preseptal and the retroseptal. While not easier in execution, and at times it can be more difficult than the transcutaneous approach, the transconjunctival blepharoplasty has definite advantages. It belongs in the armamentarium of surgical procedures of all physicians performing cosmetic surgery.

Microliposuction and autologous fat transplantation for aesthetic enhancement of the aging face.

The accumulation of subcutaneous fat that occurs with age in certain areas of the face, ie, heavy melolabial folds, prominent jowl formation, and accumulation of fat under the chin, can make a person look older than he or she is. Removal of fat from these areas by microliposuction can enhance and rejuvenate the aging face. Similarly, fat loss in certain facial areas due to aging can result in hollow cheeks and deep grooves in the face. Its replacement through autologous fat transplantation can also rejuvenate the aging face, giving it a less angular, more rounded appearance.

Perils and pearls of liposuction.

Facial and body liposuction has become a liposculpturing technique. As is usually the case, the more one performs a particular procedure, the more one realizes its difficulties, dangers, and challenges. The surgeon should never perform liposuction in a routine and casual manner. Such an approach can only lead to problems because each patient has different requirements. The goal of this chapter is to inspire the reading physician to approach each case as if it were the first one, i.e., with a great deal of prudence. This will lead to better results and fewer complications.

Refinements in the technique of liposuction.

While liposuction can be used to change the contour of practically the entire body, it has limitations. Because of the nature of the technique employed during the procedure, it also has a certain inherent possibility for complications. One hopes to avoid these by using sound judgment in choosing patients and by employing prudence and good technique during surgery. In addition, the surgeon's artistry is of paramount importance; one truly performs plastic (plastikos = to mold) surgery when resculpturing a patient's body.

Facial liposuction and microlipoinjection.

Liposuction and microlipoinjection can be used to improve the contour of the face, correct certain defects, and improve signs of aging. The technique of facial liposuction as well as that of collecting and injecting the fat used for microlipoinjection (autologous fat transplantation), is described.
