Abstract:
This discussion focuses primarily on lipoatrophy and periorbital deflation in relation to adjunctive fat grafting of the brow and upper eyelid. Like with all clinical information for cosmetic and reconstructive surgeons in this multidisciplinary review of rejuvenation of the brow and upper lid, the authors present anatomy, evaluation, patient expectations, technique, and complications - here, specifically in terms of fat grafting and its associated aspects of fat transfer and relocation and autologous fat, along with hyaluronic acid fillers. Fat harvest and preparation are also described in detail.
