Vertical plication of attenuated orbital septum: a modification for reduction of lower lid bulge

Annals of Plastic Surgery
Seyed Esmail Hassanpour, Arash Bairaghi Toosi

Abstract

Aesthetic surgery for correction of the lower lid bulge can be classified into 3 groups of subtractive surgery, redraping, and repositioning. The authors present a new repositioning technique with vertical plication of the orbital septum for correction of lower lid bulge. This procedure was performed on 30 individuals during a 3-year period between March 2003 and March 2006. The length of follow-up varied from 3 months to 1 year, with an average of 6 months. There was no lower lid retraction or ectropion. Contour was smooth without any visible deformation or palpable suture line along the vertical plication. In the follow-up visits of minimum of 3 months, no recurrence of bulge was present and the scar was inconspicuous. Vertical plication of the orbital septum is an effective way to reposition the orbital fat inside the orbit. It anatomically corrects lower lid bulge, preserves the orbital fat pad and the vertical dimension of the lower lid, and provides a smooth contour in the periorbital area without the need to penetrate the orbital septum or manipulate the fat pad. Morbidity is minimal and transient, and the results are satisfactory. We suggest this technique for correction of lower lid bulge when there is excess lower lid...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
