Randomized Controlled Trial
Temporal brow lift vs internal browpexy in females undergoing upper blepharoplasty: Effects on lateral brow lifting.
Lateral brow-lifting surgical procedures in conjunction with upper blepharoplasty may prevent secondary descent following upper blepharoplasty. ⋯ Internal browpexy combined with blepharoplasty could be considered the better procedure in patients with upper eyelid dermatochalasis in terms of long-lasting stability and lateral brow elevation.

The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been studied in bone-related applications for accelerating healing, and the proliferation and regeneration of tissue. Now the dermatological indications increase rapidly in recent years. ⋯ But the lack of RCTs and the limit of samples cannot provide sufficient enough evidence for general clinical applications. More RCTs are needed for the increasing demand of new dermatologic therapeutics, and we need adequate samples urgently to make the results more persuasive.

Sound knowledge of the rheology of hyaluronic acids is fundamental for facial rejuvenation procedures. Hyaluronic acid implants are subjected to complex mechanical forces within the facial tissues that vary depending on the anatomical region. Analysis of these forces is important to establish the rheological specifications of hyaluronic acid implants in each specific zone. This approach will optimize the correction of age-related loss of volume, since the filler will be chosen as a function of the mechanics of the anatomical zone, with the objective to respect facial dynamics.
