Abstract
Aging of the midface and lower eyelid represents one of the earliest clinically detectable areas of aging on the face. These senile changes include laxity of eyelid skin, pseudoherniation of orbital fat, ptosis of the suborbicularis oculi and malar fat pads, and loss of facial volume. Several approa...

Phenylephrine, an alpha(1)-adrenoceptor agonist, increased the upper eyelid contractile force in a dose-dependent manner (K(0.5) = 110 nmol). Interestingly, the contraction in response to phenylephrine was persistent and hardly recovered to a base line level for more than 100 min after washout of th...
