Disease relevance of Blepharoplasty

• Treatment of periorbital edema with human corticotropin-releasing factor after blepharoplasty [1].
• Acquired strabismus accompanied by persistent diplopia may occur as a complication of cosmetic blepharoplasty [2].

High impact information on Blepharoplasty

• Carbon dioxide laser blepharoplasty [3].
• CONCLUSIONS: Human corticotropin-releasing factor appears to be safe for intravenous use in patients undergoing blepharoplasty; however, its efficacy in reducing postoperative edema as a single preoperative administration was not conclusively demonstrated in this study [1].
• Accidental formaldehyde injection in cosmetic blepharoplasty. Case report [4].
• Topical proparacaine and suture removal after blepharoplasty [5].
• A series of 66 consecutive cases of blepharoplasty and rhytidectomy are reported, 60 of which were performed with a general anesthesia technic utilizing local anesthesia with epinephrine, in association with enflurane inhalation delivered via bilateral nasopharyngeal airways (BNPA) [6].

Biological context of Blepharoplasty

• OBJECTIVE: To compare the surgical efficacy and wound-healing characteristics of the tissue adhesive octyl-2-cyanoacrylate (approved by the Food and Drug Administration) with traditional suture closure in upper blepharoplasty [7].

Associations of Blepharoplasty with chemical compounds

• Atypical mycobacterial infection following blepharoplasty and full-face skin resurfacing with CO2 laser [8].
• Treatment of eyebrow ptosis to enhance the cosmetic effect from blepharoplasty is commonly done with a forehead lift using a coronal incision approach [9].
• Clinical applications primarily include skin closure (blepharoplasty incisions, etc.). In a recent study, we demonstrated that Histoacryl elicits minimal histotoxicity when used to glue bone grafts to rabbit-ear cartilage [10].
• CONCLUSION: The injection of phosphatidylcholine (250 mg/5 ml) into the fat pads is a simple office procedure that may postpone or even substitute for lower eyelid blepharoplasty [11].
• Inactivation of the orbicularis oculi muscle by chemodenervation with botulinum toxin type A (Botox, Allergan, Inc., Irvine, Calif.) as a sole procedure or in conjunction with blepharoplasty has proved to be a reliable method to improve the appearance of the periocular area [12].

Gene context of Blepharoplasty

• RESULTS: Human corticotropin-releasing factor was well tolerated when administered intravenously over a ten-minute period to healthy patients undergoing blepharoplasty [1].
• Restrictive horizontal strabismus following blepharoplasty [13].
• The authors present a review of 196 cases of carbon dioxide laser blepharoplasty and periocular laser skin resurfacing performed at their center from April of 1994 to September of 1998 [14].
• Blepharoplasty. Past, present, and future [15].
• Use of upper-lid blepharoplasty full-thickness skin for peri-implant keratinized tissue grafting: a report of 2 cases [16].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Blepharoplasty

• CONCLUSIONS: Injectable phosphatidylcholine is a novel treatment for infraorbital fat herniation that may benefit some patients who are considering blepharoplasty [17].
• This study compares and contrasts the use of the CO2 laser with the conventional cold-steel scalpel and electrocautery in cosmetic blepharoplasty [18].
