Sunlight and cigarette smoking primarily are responsible for generating harmful oxygen free radicals that damage and destroy skin. New methods to protect skin are necessary if we are to conquer skin cancer and photoaging. Sunscreens are useful, but their protection is not ideal because of inadequate use, incomplete spectral protection and toxicity. Skin naturally uses antioxidants to protect itself from photodamage. This article summarizes what is know about how photodamage occurs; why sunscreens are inadequate; how key antioxidants (vitamin C and vitamin E) help prevent and repair skin damage; and how physicians use topical antioxidants to improve their patients’ surgical results, prevent further damage, and help correct a variety of skin conditions including acne rosacea, wrinkling, mottled pigmentation, purpura, and melasma.","PeriodicalId":206710,"journal":{"name":"Operative Techniques in Oculoplastic, Orbital and Reconstructive Surgery","volume":"79 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114129337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Botox ® is currently the only Botulinum toxin available in the USA but other European and South American countries may choose between Botox Cosmetic ® and Dysport ® (Ipsen pharmaceuticals). Differences relate to the time of onset of paralysis and the degree of diffusion of the toxin from the injection site. Both types have their own advantages. Limitations of use of Botulinum toxin type A relate in particular to the patient’s skin tone, eyebrow position, lid lash distance and position of their zygomatic arch.

Methods. The authors analyzed all of the problems and/or complications associated with the use of a synthetic hydroxyapatite implant (FCI 3) in 120 patients by one surgeon over 4 years. The following data were recorded: age, type of surgery performed, size of implant used, peg system used, follow-up duration, time of pegging, problems and/or complications encountered, and treatment. Results. Thirteen patients were lost to follow up after 3 months, leaving 107 patients who were followed from 4 to 48 months (average 29 months).

The technique is designated “Parachute” when the posterior sclera is excised, and “Russian doll” when the posterior sclera is preserved and is behind the orbital implant.

These results provide strong evidence that enucleation in both children and adults is associated with a reduction of bony orbital volume and that this decrease in orbital volume increases with time. However, the reduction is smaller than generally assumed and does not cause obvious facial asymmetry. It is more related to the time interval since enucleation than the age at enucleation, which makes a mechanism of volume adaptation more likely than just retardation of growth. However, based on animal studies, the extent and consequences of bony orbital changes after early enucleation in childhood have until now been overstimated. Loss of the eyeball takes major responsibility for soft tissue volume reduction and can be variable due to marked inter-individual variations.

It is best used as a primary procedure in selected patients, in case of enucleation, evisceration or exenteration. It is less predictable, but sometimes still the best option in secondary procedures, such as socket reconstruction, orbital implant extrusion and correction of the post-enucleation socket syndrome.
