Aesthetics Flashcards
An isolated upper blepharoplasty performed in the presence of brow ptosis can over time worsen that problem,why?
as frontalis tone decreases with the elimination of the compensatory stimulus provided by hanging upper lid skin, resulting in increased brow ptosis
fashion, it may be more desirable for the brow to reach its vertical peak closer to the lateral canthus
T
the temporal branch of the facial nerve, and this is the only motor nerve at risk during a brow lifting procedure
T
Staying in the subcutaneous plane while dissecting the forehead avoids any possibility of motor nerve injury
T
The supratrochlear nerve plays a far more significant role in brow innervation than the nerve supraorbital
F. supraorbital
Fat play major role in brow aesthetic T or F
f. There is minimal adiposity in the brow. Therefore, fat plays little role in the aging process of the brow
Temporal hollowing can indeed play a significant role in aging the face,
T
the sentinel vein, a structure that lies 1.5 cm superior and lateral to the lateral canthus
T. resents an important landmark, as it can be used to establish the position of the temporal branch of the facial nerve (1 cm lateral and inferior to the sentinel vein) as well as the temporal line of fusion at the temporal crest.1
The presence of compensated brow ptosis must also be ruled out prior to performing an upper blepharoplasty.
T
Neuromodulators are indicated in the treatment of isolated static rhytids of the brow.
Neuromodulators are indicated in the treatment of isolated dynamic rhytids of the brow.
efficacy is more rapidly lost in males.regarding botox
T
endoscopic brow lift effectively addresses central forehead and glabellar rhytids, lateral ptosis and crow’s feet are not as readily addressed with this procedure
T
a high hairline or an acutely sloped forehead can considered an aesly approached with endoscope
a high hairline or an acutely sloped forehead can make this procedure technically difficult to perform
Which potion of the orbiculares responsible for brow ptosis in upper eyelid and festoon in the lower eyelid
The orbital portion of the orbicularis can cause brow depression in the upper lid, and attenuation of this muscle can contribute to festoons in the lower lid
What the analogue in lower eyelid to the levator and Muller muscle of the upper eyelid?
The lower eyelid retractors include the capsulopalpebral fascia and inferior tarsal muscle,
The tear trough ligament is an osteocutaneous ligament between the palpebral and orbital portions of the orbicularis oculi muscle
T
The lacrimal sac located between anterior and posterior limp of the lateral canthus
F. Medial canthus
Patients with unrealistic self-image or who are not capable of understanding the limitations of the procedure are poor surgical candidates in blepharoplasty
T
lower eyelid blepharoplasty is generally reconstractive in nature
F lower eyelid blepharoplasty is generally cosmetic.
A safe rule of thumb is that skin resection should preserve a brow to margin distance of at least 10 mm
A safe rule of thumb is that skin resection should preserve a brow to margin distance of at least 20 mm
Central orbital fat pad typically requires debulking more often than the medial pad
medial orbital fat pad typically requires debulking more often than the central pad
If patient’s has significant lower lid laxity they are at higher risk for ectropion with any skin resection and a lateral canthal tightening procedure should be performed
T. Skin
We need to make lateral canthal support even in case of transconjectival approach
F. Lateral canthal support is generally not needed in a transconjunctival approach, as the orbicularis is not weakened by division
In case of subseptal hematoma after blepharoplasty high-dose IV steroids should be initiated to maximize visual recovery
F. Steriod should be given only in case of vision loss to maximize the vision recovery
