“…Limited skin excision has been recommended by some authors. [1][2][3] Another study 4 suggests occluding the lower punctum in patients undergoing upper blepharoplasty.…”

“…In addition, by preserving the orbicularis muscle, appropriate amounts of skin and fat can be removed, with little fear of complications. Becker 4 recommends, in addition to conservative skin excision, punctal occlusion at the time of surgery. We did not find punctal occlusion necessary, and this can always be safely performed at a later date, if clinically indicated.…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.
