In this episode of The Oculofacial Podcast Journal Club, host Dr. Jamie Keen is joined by an esteemed panel of leaders in oculoplastic surgery; Dr. Stuart Seiff, Dr. Erin Shriver, and Dr. Katie Winkler to review and discuss three impactful studies from the March/April 2026 issue of the OPRS Journal. The conversation explores long-term brow lift outcomes through a systematic review and meta-analysis, evaluates key predictors of facial asymmetry in unilateral anophthalmia and microphthalmia, and examines the relationship between socioeconomic factors and periocular basal cell carcinoma treated with Mohs surgery. Each expert brings thoughtful insight into the strengths, limitations, and real-world implications of these studies, offering valuable perspective on how emerging research may influence clinical decision-making and patient care in oculofacial plastic surgery.

In this episode of The Oculofacial Podcast, leading surgeons come together to explore the clinical art and science of ablative laser resurfacing, breaking down CO₂, erbium, and hybrid technologies. They dive into device selection, patient candidacy, treatment techniques, and complication management, offering real-world insights from years of hands-on experience. Whether you're refining your approach or just getting started, this episode delivers a masterclass in achieving safer treatments and better patient outcomes.

Discover the latest findings on basal cell carcinoma presentations across different ethnicities and the role of modifiable risk factors. Essential insights for medical professionals and patients alike. In this episode, we discuss skin health, where a topic that often arises is basal cell carcinoma (BCC), the most common form of skin cancer. With increasing rates of skin cancers noted globally, understanding how BCC presents across different demographics is crucial. In this blog post, we delve into a study that analyzed patterns of BCC presentation using data from the National Institutes of Health's All of Us database, focusing on ethnic differences—such as non-White patients being younger and more likely to have non-facial BCC—and modifiable risk factors like alcohol intake, which showed a dose-dependent increase in facial BCC risk.

Explore cutting-edge insights on predicting dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON), a serious complication of thyroid eye disease. Vital knowledge for clinicians and those affected by thyroid disorders. In this segment, we turn to orbital health, highlighting DON, which impacts 5-8% of thyroid eye disease patients and can lead to vision loss if undetected. Early identification through imaging is key, and this post examines a study evaluating subjective assessments of eight CT features in 258 orbits to predict DON. Key findings emphasize apical crowding as the strongest predictor, alongside extraocular muscle enlargement, vascular congestion, and medial wall bowing, offering practical tools for risk stratification in clinical practice.

In Pearls on Complex Orbital Reconstruction, Dr. Nicole Topilow moderates a dynamic roundtable with Drs. Grant, Tao, and Kikkawa exploring pre-operative planning, timing of acute versus delayed repairs, and key surgical landmarks in orbital fracture management. The panel dives into implant selection, fixation strategies, customization and 3D printing, and how their approaches have evolved over time. Challenging cases such as large floor and medial wall defects, delayed enophthalmos, infected implants, and post-operative complications are discussed with practical, experience-driven insights. The episode concludes with expert take-home pearls to guide surgeons in managing complex orbital reconstructions with confidence and precision.
