Objective:To explore the clinical application effect of double eyelid plasty using the levator palpebrae superioris aponeurosis fiber flap.Methods:In March 2021, 3-mm-wide tissue strips were vertically harvested from the mid-upper eyelids from 5 adult Han cadavers with single eyelids, provided by the Anatomy Lab of Nanchang Vocational Health College, and then Masson staining was performed to track the levator aponeurosis fiber. A descriptive case series study was performed. From February 2021 to February 2022, eligible patients who were prospectively collected from the Outpatient Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University underwent double eyelid plasty. The levator palpebrae superioris aponeurosis fiber flap was dissected and repositioned between the orbicularis oculi muscles at the upper and lower edge of incision. The surgical site was closed by a three-layer multi-faceted suture fixation: the muscle of orbicularis oculi at lower edge of incision was sutured to the flap root and tarsal upper edge; the upper and the muscle of orbicularis oculi at the upper and lower edge were sutured to the flap end; the skin was sutured to the muscle of orbicularis oculi and flap end. Postoperatively, incision healing and complications were monitored. Twelve months after surgery, two independent attending plastic surgeons evaluated double eyelid height, curvature, symmetry, and incision scar. The patients were asked to evaluate the effect as satisfied, relatively satisfied, or dissatisfied.Results:Masson staining of 5 lateral upper eyelid specimens revealed that in single-eyelid cases, the levator palpebrae superioris aponeurosis diverged into fibers at the white line, penetrated the orbicularis oculi loosely, and extended to the eyelid margin. Fourty female patients with single or hidden double eyelids were included, aged 18-38 years. After 12 months’ follow-up, all patients had good incision healing without major complications. Twelve months after the operation, the result of doctor evaluation was as followed: 40 cases had proper line height and natural curvature; 38 cases had good line retention, 2 cases had shallower lines; 39 cases had good symmetry, 1 case had asymmetry; 40 cases had no sunken scar. The result of patient satisfaction was as satisfied (35 cases), relatively satisfied (2 cases), dissatisfied (3 cases), with a 92.5% (37/40) satisfaction rate.Conclusion:The levator palpebrae superioris aponeurosis fiber flap method can reconstruct upper eyelid tissue, with natural dynamic double eyelids with few complications and high patient satisfaction.

Objective:To validate the validity of the auricular cartilage fish-shaped framework in comprehensive rhinoplasty for Chinese Han females.Methods:The clinical data of Chinese Han female patients with short nose and saddle nasal deformity undergoing primary rhinoplasty at the Department of Plastic Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, from August 2021 to October 2023, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients underwent comprehensive rhinoplasty, involving the implantation of an auricular cartilage fish-shaped framework at the nasal tip and a dorsal nasal implant on the nasal bridge.Postoperative follow-up monitored for complications. At 6-month postoperatively, a satisfaction survey was conducted among the patients, their family, or friends using a scale where: very satisfied with improvement=4, moderately satisfied with improvement=3, Slightly satisfied with improvement=2, No improvement=1. Additionally, two plastic surgeons evaluated the postoperative outcomes using a scale where: excellent=5, very good=4, good=3, fair=2, poor=1.Preoperative and 6-month postoperative photographs were processed using Image J software to measure the following parameters: nasolabial angle, nasofacial angle, nasofrontal angle, columellar lobular angle, nasal height, and nasal length. Paired t-tests were used for statistical analysis, with P < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results:A total of 18 patients were included, with a mean age of (26.4 ± 7.2) years (range: 18-45 years). The mean postoperative follow-up duration was (23.0 ± 9.3) months (range: 6 months to 3 years). All patients recovered well, with no severe complications occurring.The mean patient satisfaction score regarding the postoperative outcome was 3.50 ± 0.62. The mean satisfaction score from family or friends was 3.33 ± 0.69. The two evaluating plastic surgeons rated the outcomes as 4.17 ± 0.85 and 3.94 ± 0.93, respectively, both falling between the excellent and very good categories on the assessment scale.Statistically significant differences (all P < 0.01) were found between preoperative and 6-month postoperative measurements for all assessed nasal parameters. Nasolabial angle: 99.68° ± 2.95° vs. 95.37° ± 1.09°; nasofacial angle: 29.47° ± 2.99° vs. 32.82° ± 2.23°; nasofrontal angle: 140.72° ± 5.18° vs. 133.79° ± 4.43°; columellar lobular angle: 44.86° ± 3.43° vs. 39.23° ± 6.44°; nasal height: (57.52 ± 0.60) mm vs. (58.41 ± 0.39) mm; nasal length: (50.08 ± 0.54) mm vs. (50.64 ± 0.31) mm. Conclusion:The use of the auricular cartilage fish-shaped framework combined with a prosthesis in rhinoplasty, requiring only unilateral or bilateral auricular cartilage, effectively improved low nose and short nose deformities in the majority of Chinese Han females. This validates the favorable outcome of this framework in comprehensive rhinoplasty for this population.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of autologous fat injection and conjunctival pedicled orbital septal fat grafting for infraorbital margin depression in young people.Methods:Fourty young patients with lower eyelid pouch and infraorbital margin depression with age of 20 to 40 years and average age of 30.6 yaers in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from September 2017 to September 2019 were enrolled. According to the surgical method, all patients were divided into 2 groups with 20 cases each. Group 1 underwent transconjunctival orbital septum fat reset. Group 2 underwent various autologous fat injection after proper amount of orbital septal fat being removed, including structural fat, fine-particle fat and nano-fat, performed in different parts and layers. The tear trough rating scale (TTRS) scores and patients＇ satisfaction at 1 year after operation between 2 groups were compared.Results:Compared with the preoperative TTRS scores, the differences in scores at 6 months and 1 year after surgery were statistically significant ( P<0.01). The scores between two groups were compared at 6 months and 1 year respectively after the operation, and the difference were both statistically significant ( P<0.01). 6 months after the operation, the TTRS scores including four items were carefully compared between the two groups. It showed that the reduction of tear groove depth ( P<0.05), pigmentation ( P<0.01) and wrinkle ( P<0.01) in group 2 were more obvious than those in group 1. The percentage of satisfaction in group 2 (95%) was higher than that in the group 1 (70%), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). Conclusions:For infraorbital margin depression of young people, after proper amount of orbital septal fat being removed, various free fats graft injection into different parts and layers could obtain better treatment results, reducing not only the depth of the tear groove, but also periorbital pigmentation and fine wrinkles.

The efficient management of wounds is the focus of current research. In addition to conventional wound management and necessary surgery, the role of pro-healing drugs in wound treatment has gradually been emphasized. Platelet-rich blood products that is rich in a variety of biologically active molecules are considered as a low-cost and safe therapy in promoting tissue healing, and have great development prospects in the field of regenerative medicine. However, due to the lack of standard preparation and management and the unstable activities of the biomolecules in them, the therapeutic effects of platelet-rich blood products are uneven. In order to solve these problems, researches related to the protection and delivery of biologically active molecules in platelet-rich blood products by biomaterials have gradually increased in recent years, which is also one of the latest trends in wound treatment research. This article first briefly introduces the types of platelet-rich blood products, then outlines the latest research progress achieved by their combination with biomaterials, and finally summarizes the research progress and future research directions of the combination approach in wound treatment.
