In this engaging session of the Oculofacial Podcast Journal Club, hosted by Dr. Sonja Sipen, a panel of esteemed oculoplastic surgeons reviews a series of cutting-edge studies from the recent OPRS journal. These discussions span several hot topics including the management of subperiosteal abscesses, the potential effects of botulinum toxin on tear production, and innovative treatments for eyelid keloids. Each guest brings their unique perspective, shaped by their geographical practice locations and diverse patient demographics.

The episode opens with Dr. Jimmy Sismanis's analysis of a study on subperiosteal abscess management. He discusses the evolution of treatment protocols and the importance of multidisciplinary approaches, especially in pediatric cases, pointing out that newer data is crucial for contemporary practice. Transitioning to aesthetics, Dr. Jordan Conger examines a compelling paper on how botulinum toxin injections for facial rejuvenation may inadvertently affect tear production. Despite the findings suggesting a statistically significant reduction in tear production, the clinical consequences remain minimal. Finally, Dr. Christina Choi delves into the efficacy of using ultrapulse CO2 laser combined with human epidermal growth factor gel for treating
