Summary

Fat-conserving lower blepharoplasty effectively addresses aging signs around the eyes, particularly the bony orbital rim and eyelid fat protrusion. This safe surgical technique improves periorbital aesthetics with no reported complications.

Area of Science:

Oculoplastic surgery
Facial rejuvenation techniques

Background:

Periorbital aging presents challenges including eyelid fat protrusion and inferior orbital rim skeletonization.
Traditional blepharoplasty techniques may not always address these specific concerns optimally.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate a modified fat-conserving lower blepharoplasty technique.
To assess its efficacy in treating periorbital aging, focusing on infraorbital rim exposure and fat prolapse.

Main Methods:

Retrospective chart review of 14 patients undergoing fat-conserving lower blepharoplasty.
Surgical outcomes assessed by two independent, experienced surgeons over an 8-month period.

Main Results:

Correction of inferior orbital rim skeletonization achieved in 13 out of 14 patients.
Moderate effectiveness noted for eyelid fat protrusion and wrinkle reduction.
No surgical complications were recorded.

Conclusions:

Fat-conserving lower blepharoplasty is a safe and effective method for reducing the visibility of the bony orbital rim.
This technique can be a valuable adjunct to other periorbital rejuvenation procedures.
