Combination therapies in oculofacial rejuvenation.

The oculo-facial surgeon's quest for non-invasive procedures is a response to increasing patient demands for enhanced results without any downtime. Technology has obliged us with multiple injectable and light therapeutic modalities that tighten skin, relax and fill in wrinkles, and improve skin dyspigmentation and texture. When these techniques are combined, the results are superior to the use of individual therapies alone. The foundation for combination therapies are: botulinum toxin, filling agents, chemical peels, intense pulsed light, non-ablative and ablative lasers.

Combination therapies: a nonsurgical approach to oculofacial rejuvenation.

Botox (and other botulinum toxins), injectable filling agents, chemical peeling agents, intense pulsed light devices, nonablative lasers, and radiofrequency instrumentation are discussed herein regarding their specific applications to different facial areas for oculofacial rejuvenation.

Reconstructive upper lid blepharoplasty.

Cosmetic upper eyelid blepharoplasty is not a procedure comprising skin and fat resection only. Efficient and effective functional repair of the upper lid requires brow stabilization or elevation, levator aponeurotic repair, lacrimal gland suspension, and cutaneous laser resurfacing when necessary.

Nonanimal stabilized hyaluronic acid for lip augmentation and facial rhytid ablation.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of nonanimal stabilized hyaluronic acid as an injectable filling agent. DESIGN: Nonrandomized, retrospective, interventional case series. RESULTS: A total of 1446 consecutive patients (1029 women and 417 men) underwent intradermal injection of commercially available nonanimal stabilized hyaluronic acid (2242 treatments) for the enhancement of lip volume and contour and the reduction of visible facial rhytids. Almost 61% of all patients remained satisfied with their results after 9 months. The effect was longest in the glabellar and nasolabial fold areas. Minimal transient sequelae were noted. CONCLUSIONS: Nonanimal stabilized hyaluronic acid is an effective and safe facial soft tissue expander. Its duration varies with each facial area treated.
