  • About the Guest:

    Dr. Kenneth Steinsapir is a renowned oculofacial plastic surgeon with a profound interest in the intricacies of eyelid anatomy and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Steinsapir's expertise particularly shines in the realm of revision procedures, stemming from a deep understanding of levator anatomy, which he believes is crucial yet often overlooked in oculoplastic specialty training. Beyond his clinical and scientific contributions, Dr. Steinsapir also has a fascination with mountaineering and photography, which speaks to his appreciation for aesthetics in both nature and his professional work.

    Episode Summary:

    In this enlightening episode of the oculofacial podcast , Dr. Brett Kotlus speaks with Dr. Kenneth Steinsapir who shares his profound knowledge and experience in dealing with the aesthetic and functional challenges that arise from upper eyelid surgeries. The conversation delves into the the complex issue of postoperative upper blepharoplasty syndrome.

    The episode begins with Dr. Kotlus expressing admiration for Dr. Steinsapir's methodical approach to oculofacial issues, setting the stage for a deep dive into the common yet not universally recognized post upper blepharoplasty syndrome. Dr. Steinsapir paints a compelling picture of this condition, one marked by undesirable outcomes like high sulcus, hollow eyelids, ptosis, and compensatory brow elevation—issues that defy patient expectations and call for deft surgical revision strategies.

    Through this detailed discourse, enrich your understanding of the anatomical nuances that define successful cosmetic upper eyelid surgeries. Explore the key principles of structuring blepharoplasty, uncovering the potential pitfalls that can lead to post-surgical dissatisfaction, and learn about the transformative techniques that can help patients regain both function and form in their eyelids.

    Key Takeaways:

    Post upper blepharoplasty syndrome involves issues such as a high sulcus, hollow eyelids, and ptosis, often accompanied by a compensatory brow lift. Proper levator function and attachment are crucial for a successful eyelid surgery outcome, and its anatomy is often underemphasized. Dr. Steinsapir advocates for a more involved and thoughtful approach to upper blepharoplasty, including carefully planned crease placements. Patient satisfaction following blepharoplasty is dependent on both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the surgery. Physical examination and measurements are essential, yet sometimes neglected aspects of preoperative assessment for eyelid surgery.

These conversations unlock deeper understandings of vital topics in ophthalmology, ranging from infantile hemangioma treatment protocols to thyroid eye disease management.

    Key Takeaways:

    Oral propranolol might be beneficial for a broader range of infantile hemangiomas, considering it is well-tolerated with minimal side effects. Intraorbital injections combining 5-FU and steroids may offer improvement in diplopia associated with thyroid eye disease. Advances in spheno-orbital meningioma management, including resection of the anterior clinoid process, are essential due to the condition's propensity for recurrence. Radiotherapy decisions for spheno-orbital meningioma remain complex and should be guided by further investigation into tumor biology and behavior. Long-term follow-up is crucial in managing spheno-orbital meningioma to appropriately adapt treatment protocols and understand disease progression.

    Episode Summary:

    In this enlightening episode of "T.O.P. - The Oculofacial Podcast," Dr. Cat Burkat shines the spotlight on the intricate world of forehead and brow lifting surgery. The conversation revolves around the diverse methodologies and personal experiences of acclaimed surgeons who navigate the vast terrain of forehead rejuvenation.

    Leading experts in oculofacial plastics convene to share their seasoned perspectives and preferred techniques that define the art and science of elevating the forehead and brow aesthetics. They dissect critical considerations, such as the impact of forehead height and hairline on surgical approaches and weigh in on nuanced choices that influence both the functional and cosmetic outcomes of these procedures.

    Key Takeaways:

    The height of the forehead and the patient's hairline are pivotal factors in determining the appropriate surgical approach for forehead and brow lifting. Approaches to forehead lifting must consider gender-specific nuances to achieve aesthetically pleasing results that align with the patient's facial structure. The breadth of techniques, from pretrichial approaches to endoscopic lifts, provides a versatile array of options tailored to individual patient needs and expectations. Surgeons have evolved from aggressive muscle alteration techniques to more conservative approaches, focusing on volume conservation and natural contours. Volumization, through fat grafting or fillers, plays a significant role in three-dimensional rejuvenation and is considered alongside lifting procedures for comprehensive outcomes.

He is also the Vice Chair of Global Ophthalmology and a valuable contributor to the editorial board for OPRS.

    The episode delves into potential novel surgical techniques in patients with epiphora and addresses perioperative considerations in overweight and obese patients as well as outcomes of primary monocanalicular stent placement in pediatric patients with Down Syndrome and nasolacrimal duct obstruction.

    The conversation begins with an intriguing exploration of an alternative to dacryocystorhinostomy, Nasolacrimal Duct Coronary Stent Recanalization (NCR), and its potential to utilize the physiologic anatomy for treating nasolacrimal duct obstructions. Additionally, the episode sheds light on the complexities of managing overweight and obese patients in oculofacial plastic surgery, encompassing perioperative risks and specialized care protocols. The third segment is a retrospective look at the success rates of primary monocanalicular stent placement in pediatric patients with Down Syndrome versus those without, highlighting varied outcomes and the quest for optimal treatments in such clinical scenarios.

    Key Takeaways:

    New techniques like Nasolacrimal Duct Coronary Stent Recanalization (NCR) are being investigated as potential alternatives to traditional dacryocystorhinostomy. Managing oculofacial surgery in overweight and obese patients presents unique challenges, including the likelihood of extended operative times and postoperative wound healing difficulties. Pediatric oculoplastic surgery may require bespoke approaches, especially in children with Down Syndrome, where success rates for primary monocanalicular stent placement are significantly lower than in non-Down Syndrome patients. Bicanalicular stent placement with suture tying as a new method to potentially reduce operative room removal is discussed. The conversations in this podcast provide rich, practice-changing insights that could influence oculoplastic surgeons' approach to diverse patient groups.
