Global Research Trends and Perspectives of Blepharoplasty: A 20-Year Bibliometric Analysis Based on Web of Science
ConclusionsBlepharoplasty research is flourishing, and three clusters may be the hotspots: “Lower blepharoplasty and mid-face rejuvenation,” “overall facial outcome and quality-of-life,” and “Asian blepharoplasty and epicanthoplasty.”Level of Evidence IIIThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

A review of surgical management of progressive myogenic ptosis
CONCLUSION: Like surgical repair for other forms of ptosis, correction of progressive myogenic ptosis is guided by levator excursion. However, myogenic ptosis is especially challenging as it is characterized by worsening ptosis and the loss of protective corneal mechanisms. The goals of care with myogenic ptosis involves repairing ptosis just sufficiently to alleviate visual obstruction while avoiding adverse post-operative complications. This intentional under-correction subsequently increases susceptibility for ptosis recurrence. Myogenic ptosis repair therefore requires delicate balancing between function, sustained rep...

Advanced Approach to Asian Lower Blepharoplasty
The lower eyelid is one of the commonest areas Asian patients present for rejuvenation. The spectrum of patients presenting for treatment ranges from the young to the more mature. Young patients present with “premature” aging due to an anatomical predisposition. These are patients we figuratively call those who “do not age well.” Even patients with strong skeletal support manifest aging, in a predictable and progressive manner. Such patients eventually benefit from quality esthetic surgery of th e lower eyelid and mid cheek. (Source: Clinics in Plastic Surgery)

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty Improved the Overall Periorbital Aesthetics Ratio by Enhancing Harmony Between the Eyes and Eyebrows
CONCLUSION: This study revealed that upper eyelid blepharoplasty, which enhances the appearance of the upper eyelids while regulating the eyelid position and shape of the eyebrows by considering the eye to eyebrow ratio, optimizes the proportion of the periorbital area and improves the overall periorbital aesthetics.PMID:36164555 | PMC:PMC9509013 | DOI:10.2147/CCID.S385057 (Source: Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology)

Patient-Reported Outcome Analysis after Resident Performed Upper Blepharoplasty: A Suitable Procedure for Young Surgeons
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1749168Upper blepharoplasty is one of the most frequently performed aesthetic surgeries worldwide. While it is considered a low risk procedure, patients have high expectations regarding the outcome of elective surgery of the face and the majority of residents usually have little exposure to cosmetic surgeries in the early years of their training. All eligible patients who had undergone bilateral upper blepharoplasty at the senior author's institution between January 2016 and August 2019 were invited to participate in an online questionnaire. Our study used a 27-item questionnaire to ev...

Evaluating YouTube as a Source of Patient Information for Blefaroplasty
This study aims to evaluate the content and quality of popular videos about blepharoplasty treatment in YouTube. Four keywords “blepharoplasty,” “upper blepharoplasty,” “lower blepharoplasty,” and “blepharoplasty information” were searched in YouTube. After the videos were sorted by the number of views, the last 50 videos were based on general characteristics, primary purpose, information content, relevance, audiovisual quality, as well as viewer interaction index DISCERN score (minimum–maximum: 16–75), Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) score (minimum–maximum: 0–4), and Global Quali...

Functional Browlifting
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/a-1883-0483Brow ptosis is an abnormal descent of the eyebrow resulting in a displeased appearance and/or functional deficit. While most cases of brow ptosis do not result in a functional impairment, functional brow surgery is generally reserved for individuals with severe brow asymmetry or visual field deficit related to excess soft tissue pushing downward on the eyelid. A combination of both intrinsic and extrinsic anatomic factors contributes to an unfavorable brow shape, contour, and position. Proper management of brow ptosis requires an understanding of both surgical and nonsurgical modal...

Shortened Infrabrow Excision Blepharoplasty Combined with the Removal of Orbicularis Oculi Muscle for Dermatochalasis in Asians
In this study, we applied and evaluated the shortened infrabrow excision blepharoplasty (sIBEB) combined with the removal of the orbicularis oculi muscle to achieve more satisfactory effects. This retrospective study included 40 women who underwent sIBEB treatment at the Plastic Surgery Hospital of Beijing between February 2019 and June 2021. Preoperative and postoperative photographs, complications, objective Strasser system, and self-assessed subjective evaluations by the patient (on a scale of 1−10) were used to assess the results of the procedure. During the follow-up (6−16 mo; average, 12 mo), all 40 patients (a...
