Oncologic breast surgery was accompanied by contralateral breast reduction in 114 patients versus a comparable group of 135 that were NOT accompanied by contralateral breast reduction. In average follow-up of 51.5 months, no significant difference was noted in the rate of synchronous or metachronous breast cancer incidence, although a tendency toward more metachronous tumors was seen in the latter group.

Aponeurotic blepharoptosis causes stretching of the mechanoreceptors of Mueller muscle, inducing involuntary contraction of the levator and occipitofrontalis muscles and leading to forehead wrinkles during primary gaze. The problem was corrected by aponeurotic fixation in 27 patients.
