FAT CONSERVATION BLEPHAROPLASTY is a new twist in rejuvenating surgery for aging eyelids. In some patients, a deep grove or "tear trough" deformity develops at the medial portion of the lower eyelid as a result of fat resorption and fat protruding from the lower eyelid. This can be corrected by redistributing the lower eyelid fat from the orbital cavity downward as a "fat-flap" to fill the tear trough deformity instead of removing and disposing, which is the usual practice; thus fat is conserved and only re-arranged to smooth the contour of the eyelid and cheek region.
	THE ANTERIOR NASAL SEPTAL GRAFT is a new grafting technique developed by Dr. Orisek which restores projection of tip of the nose in people who have short, "pug-like" noses or have undergone excessive resection of the nasal cartilages by other surgeons which results in a "polly-beak" defomity. A large portion of Dr. Orisek's practice is devoted to reconstruction/revisional rhinoplasty surgery to correct poor surgical results performed by other rhinoplasty surgeons. This paper has been submitted and is in review for publication.
	CO2 LASER RESURFACING vs. CHEMICAL PEELING OF FACIAL WRINKLES. A recent article in the Archives of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, October, 2000 concluded that phenol chemical peeling is as effective as laser and in some cases, results in less risks including less skin bleaching, less periods of postop discomfort and shorter periods of post-treatment redness.
