Purpose When, at birth, the eyelid margin is rolled inward against the globe, the condition is referred to as congenital entropion. Upper eyelid involvement is commonly associated with a tarsal abnormality, while lower eyelid entropion is often associated with epiblepharon. Entropion does not resolve spontaneously, and may cause corneal pathology if untreated. The purpose of this study is to compare the two common techniques for the correction of congenital entropion. Methods The authors performed a pilot study of 24 consecutive patients with lower bilateral congenital entropion to compare the results of incisional versus rotational surgery. Results The rotational procedure was carried out in 14 patients; incisional surgery was performed in 10 patients. Twenty-one patients had good functional and cosmetic results. There were only three case of relapse after 3, 4, and 3 months. Conclusions The authors consider both techniques satisfactory, but the procedure of choice, considering the age of the patients and previous studies, remains rotational sutures because of its simplicity, quickness, and low risk of complication.

BackgroundTo report the histological microscopic anatomy of the interlower and postlower eyelid retractor (LER) fat pads.MethodsIn this experimental microscopic study, 31 exenterated orbits from 31 Japanese cadavers (19 right and 12 left; 15 male and 16 female; mean age of death, 81.0±8.8 years; range, 52–97 years) fixed in 10% buffered formalin were used. Masson trichrome was used to stain sagittal full sections of exenterated tissues. Microscopic examination of the lower eyelids was carried out.ResultsThe exenterated orbits demonstrated the presence of the histological existence of inter-LER fat pad (80.6%) and post-LER fat pad (22.6%) in the lower eyelids. The inter-LER fat pad was thick and located between the anterior and posterior layers of the LER, where the blood vessels passed through in 18 specimens (72.0%). The post-LER pad was thin, subtle and located between the posterior layer of the LER and conjunctiva.ConclusionThis study reports a novel finding of the inter-LER and post-LER fat pads. Awareness of these fat layers provides surgeons with additional anatomical detail of lower eyelid anatomy.

Facial ageing occurs as a consequence of multifactorial changes in both the external skin and underlying tissues. The ageing process may vary dramatically between individual patients and is thus influenced by genetic factors. When assessing the ageing face it is important to consider the skeletal architecture, the soft tissue layers including the anterior fat pads, the osseocutaneous ligament anchors, and finally the overlying skin. Assessment of the external skin incorporates factors such as dermal thinning, solar damage, lifestyle effects such as smoking, and Fitzpatrick skin type. Surgical correction of facial ageing attempts to reverse both gravitational change of soft tissues and also to restore volume loss. There are a variety of methods used to divide the face into regions, but for the purpose of this chapter, the surgical management of facial ageing will be separated into three anatomical areas: (1) upper face, including the upper eyelids, eyebrows, and forehead; (2) midface, including the lower eyelid/anterior cheek continuum; and (3) lower and lateral cheek, neck, and perioral region
