Transcoronal blepharoplasty.

Abstract

Some of the patients requesting blepharoplasty have a combination of excessive eyelid fat and brow ptosis but little or no dermatochalasis. Coronal brow lift, combined with transcoronal fat removal, serves these patients well. The prelevator fat pocket is easily entered from above by incising the periosteum of the anterior orbital roof just inside the orbital rim. Since the orbital septum and anterior lamella of the eyelid rim remain undisturbed, the result appears natural. Contraindications to the procedure include significant medical pocket fat and hair patterns that would exclude a coronal or hairline incision. Two complications, unilateral ptosis and unilateral chemosis, were temporary and totally reversible. Minor changes in the procedure have prevented the recurrence of these problems.

Considerations in aesthetic eyelid surgery.

BACKGROUND: Successful aesthetic eyelid surgery is based upon multiple complex factors that, when put together, yield a pleasing result. Beauty is inherently related to normal eyelid function and symmetry. OBJECTIVE: To review the critical issues facing the aesthetic surgeon, and to propose a systematic method of assessing the patient preoperatively. METHODS: This article first examines the general considerations for aesthetic eyelid surgery, followed by specific concerns within each anatomic area. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The critical task in aesthetic eyelid surgery is to reconstitute or preserve the normal structure and function of the eyelids. This is especially true in the multicontoured areas. It is essential for the surgeon to define the problems in a hierarchal fashion, and plan the surgery accordingly. Thus, not all patients can achieve the desired results in one sitting. The goal of aesthetic surgery is to avoid the telltale signs of surgery and to help the patient attain a youthful and energetic appearance for his or her age bracket.

Subperiostic lifting.

Usually in subcutaneous or muscular rejuvenation techniques, work is concentrated on the lateral regions of the face and particularly on the cheek and cervical area. However, results are poor in the temporoparietal area and are virtually nonexistent in the frontonasal area. By making a coronal incision and extending it into the preauricular area followed by a subperiosteal approach so as to free the frontonasal, orbital rim, and zygomaticomalar areas, we can completely mobilize the upper half of the face thus improving it aesthetically.
