Abstract
Objective:
The study is to correct all the deformities of the lower eyelid. There is a regressive keletonization of the orbit as the soft-tissue covering of the lower eyelid skin and orbicularis oculi descend downward due to loss of tone, and the orbital fat herniates through a weakened septum orbital, resulting in an infraorbital crease.
Methods:
We suspend the orbicularis oculi muscle and fix the orbital septum in blepharoplasty.
Results:
This method has been used in 32 patients with satisfactory results in recent years.
Conclusion:
The technique can improve all the deformities of the baggy eyelids and achieve long-lasting youthful countenance.
