PURPOSE: To analyze the morphologic changes of the eyelids among different age groups in Korean, and also th find out factors that influence there changes. METHODS: Tow hundred thirty six subjects without any ocular diseases were selected, and sorted by the age (ranging from teenage to the sixties and above), the gender, and according to the existence of the double fold. The pictures of frontal and lateral side of the subjects were taken. After scanning the pictures, MRD1 (marginal reflex distance 1), MRD2 (marginal reflex distance 2), the vertical distance from upper eyelid to eyebrow, the vertical and horizontal distance from medial to lateral canthus, and the horizontal distance between lateral canthus and corneal center were measured using computer-based AutoCAD R14. The measured distances were compared in each subjects. RESULTS: MRD1, MRD2, the vertical distance between medial and lateral canthus, and the horizontal distance between lateral canthus and corneal center were longest in people of the 3rd and 4th decade, and decreased. The horizontal distance between medial and lateral canthus was longest in people of the 5th decade, and decreased thereafter. The vertical distance between upper eyelid and eyebrow was shortest in people of the 4th decade and increased with aging. CONCLUSIONS: It is essential to acknowledge and understand the morphologic changes of the eyelids according to aging so that more satisfactory surgical outcomes may be achieved in cosmetic eyelid operation.

Widened palpebral fissure has been regarded as one of the hallmarks of Bell's palsy. However, the palpebral fissure on the affected side may be narrower than that of the unaffected side. The narrowing of the palpebral fissure has been often thought as a sign caused by weakness of the levator palpebrae and Muller's muscles. However, weakness of the frontal muscle may cause drooping of the eyebrow, resulting in the narrowing of the palpebral fissure. We describe a patient of Bell's palsy with a narrowing of the palpebral fissure.

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether upper eyelid blepharoplasty causes eyebrow position change in patients with or without brow ptosis. METHODS: We analyzed the photographic records of 28 patients 53 eyes with dermatochalasis who had undergone upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Brow-pupil, brow-lid margin, lid margin-pupil, brow-lateral canthus, and brow-medial canthus distances were measured, and then the proportions of medial canthus-nasal alar were taken. Preoperative and postoperative measurements were compared. RESULTS: After blepharoplasty, no one in the group without brow ptosis developed new brow ptosis. In the group with brow ptosis, only one patient felt a significant change in brow position after blepharoplasty. In both groups, the distance between the eyebrow and the lid margin decreased by similar amounts. There was no change in the upper eyelid margin position after blepharoplasty. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with dermatochalasis, upper eyelid blepharoplasty caused a lowering of the eyebrow without a change in the eyelid margin. It is important to evaluate the brow ptosis preoperatively and excise the correct amount of excess skin to avoid aggravation of brow ptosis.

There have been no long-term complications or life-threatening adverse effects related to botulinum toxin treatment for any cosmetic indications. Nevertheless, there are well-known, mild side effects of botulinum toxin treatment on the upper face, though most of them are self limited with time. However, excluding brow ptosis, reports about site specific side effects are few and anecdotal. We experienced cases of exaggeration of wrinkles after botulinum toxin injection for forehead horizontal lines, and report them here. In our cases, new appearance of a noticeable glabellar protrusion following botulinum toxin injection on the forehead was observed in 2 patients. Also, a new deep wrinkle on one side of the forehead just above the eyebrow appeared in another 2 patients. The exaggerated wrinkles nearly disappeared without treatment by week 4 in all subjects. These exaggerations of wrinkles may be caused by hyperactivity and overcompensation of untreated muscles. With the increasing availability of diverse botulinum toxin for cosmetic purposes, physicians and patients should be aware of this temporary change after therapeutic injections. We recommend explaining this possible effect prior to injection, for better understanding of treatment for cosmetic indications.
