Blepharoplasty.

Abstract

Cosmetic blepharoplasty is performed in various subspecialties, therefore articles appear in the ophthalmic, plastic surgical, otolaryngologic, and dermatologic literature. We review the past year's articles regarding evaluation, technique, adjunctive procedures, and complications. As the various techniques of upper-eyelid and lower-eyelid blepharoplasty have taken their place in the armamentarium of the aesthetic surgeon, attention has turned toward adjunctive procedures to enhance the surgical result.

Association of meibum oleic acid with meibomian seborrhea.

PURPOSE: We sought to determine whether patient meibum fatty acid unsaturation is associated with meibomian gland secretion consistency. METHODS: Meibomian gland secretions were dissolved in chloroform and separated into lipid classes by thin-layer chromatography. Fatty acids in individual lipid classes were characterized by gas chromatography after transmethylation. RESULTS: Meibum from patients with meibomian seborrhea was higher, and meibum from patients with meibomian keratoconjunctivitis (meibomianitis) was lower in the monounsaturated fatty acid, oleic acid, than that of other disease groups and normal subjects. CONCLUSION: Our results strongly suggest that the melting characteristics of meibum, influenced primarily by the amount of oleic acid in wax and sterol esters and free fatty acids, greatly influence the consistency of meibomian gland secretions.
