The Use of Racial and Ethnic Terms —Reply
In Reply We thank Dr Benavides and Mr Gallo for their response to our article; we concur with the points brought forward and believe their recommendations are essential for future studies. Race and ethnicity are 2 separate identifiers and prone to misuse. We were aware of this issue in constructing our study and elected to compare our 2 cohorts equivalently —white/Caucasian (race) and Hispanic/Latino (ethnicity)—owing in part to the self-identification patterns of our participants and the country in which we conducted our study.

Their findings that social media investment had a positive effect on the consideration of surgery corroborates the rising trend noticed among facial plastic surgeons.

Pedicled Fat Transposition vs Free-Fat Grafting for Lower Blepharoplasty With Volume Preservation —Reply
In Reply We sincerely appreciate the interest of Huggins and colleagues in our study. We completely understand their opinion and their reasoning. Despite the low incidence rates, eyelid retraction and tethering are important drawbacks of fat transposition. These might be related to the inadequate skills of individual surgeons rather than to problems related to the technique itself. However, these complications are not simply anecdotal. In fact, several patients have visited our clinic because of complaints about previous transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty performed in other clinics. Besides recurrence, the main complai...
