Abstract

Background:

Transcutaneous lower blepharoplasty has been associated with scleral show and lid malposition.

Objective:

To evaluate postoperative eyelid position (marginal reflex distance, canthal tilt), complication rates, and patient satisfaction, as measured by standardized photographic analysis and patient-reported outcomes.

Methods:

A retrospective review of 78 patients undergoing transcutaneous lower eyelid blepharoplasty with orbicularis suspension between 2022 and 2024 was conducted. Minimum follow-up was 12 months. Clinical photographs were assessed using PicPick software (version 7.2.8), and follow-up data were analyzed for aesthetic outcomes, complications, and satisfaction.

Results:

Of 78 patients (62% female, mean age = 47.5 years), the mean follow-up was 14.2 months (range = 12-25). Comorbidities included hypertension (18%) and diabetes (9%). Postoperative eyelid malposition (29.5%) and scleral show (28.2%) were unchanged from preoperative values. No cases of frank ectropion occurred, and one revision surgery (1.3%) was required. Negative preoperative canthal tilt was significantly associated with scleral show (p < 0.001). Overall, 98.7% of patients reported satisfaction.

Conclusions:

Transcutaneous lower blepharoplasty with orbicularis suspension maintains eyelid position and contour, with low complication rates and high patient satisfaction.

Position-effect Variegation

Position-effect Variegation

In 1928, a German botanist Emil Heitz observed the moss nuclei with a DNA binding dye. He observed that while some chromatin regions decondense and spread out in the interphase nucleus, others do not. He termed them euchromatin and heterochromatin, respectively. He proposed that the heterochromatin regions reflect a functionally inactive state of the genome. It was later confirmed that heterochromatin is transcriptionally repressed, and euchromatin is transcriptionally active chromatin.

What is an Experiment?

What is an Experiment?

An experiment is a planned activity carried out under controlled conditions. The purpose of an experiment is to investigate the relationship between two variables. When one variable causes change in another, we call the first variable the explanatory or independent variable. The affected variable is called the response or dependent variable. In a randomized experiment, the researcher manipulates values of the explanatory variable and measures the resulting changes in the response variable. The...

Serial Position Effect

Serial Position Effect

The serial position effect is a cognitive phenomenon where individuals are more likely to recall the first and last items in a list compared to those in the middle. This effect is divided into the primacy effect and the recency effect. The primacy effect is observed when the initial items in a list are remembered better. This occurs because these items are rehearsed more frequently or receive more elaborative processing, allowing them to be encoded into long-term memory more effectively. For...

The Stanford Prison Experiment

The famous and controversial Stanford Prison Experiment, conducted by social psychologist Philip Zimbardo and his colleagues at Stanford University, demonstrated the power of social roles, social norms, and scripts.

Thomson's e/m Experiment

Thomson's e/m Experiment

In a beam of charged particles created by a heated cathode, the particles move at different speeds. However, many applications need a beam with uniform particle speeds. An arrangement known as a velocity selector uses electric and magnetic fields to pick particles with a particular speed from the beam.
A particle with charge q, speed v, and mass m enters an area from the top, where the magnetic and electric fields are perpendicular both to the particle's motion and to one another. The magnetic...

Position Vectors

Position Vectors

A position vector is a fundamental concept in mathematics that helps determine the position of one point with respect to another point in space. It is a vector that describes the direction and distance between two points. Position vectors are highly useful in the field of math and science, as they help represent spatial relationships and make calculations easier.
For instance, we want to locate a point P(x, y, z) relative to the origin of coordinates O. In that case, we can define a position...
