With more than 2 million procedures performed annually worldwide, according to ISAPS, this new approach analyzes the set of structures in the eye region before defining what should be removed, preserved, or repositioned, representing a significant conceptual evolution in relation to traditional blepharoplasty.

The fourteen vertebrae found confirm that these sauropodes reached Europe, reinforcing the theory that dinosaurs managed to cross an Atlantic still forming, when the tectonic plates were separating Laurasia from Gondwana.
