Objective:
To investigate the technique and therapeutic effect for correction of sunken eyes combined with ptosis.
Methods:
In order to adjust the levator muscle tension and the relationship between levator aponeurosis and tarsus plate, multiple individualized treatment was selected, including levator aponeurosis restoration, levator aponeurosis plication, or shorten, or combination. Then the orbital fat was transferred to the depressed area, or autologous fat particles were collected and injected into the depressed area within the orbital fat fascia. After the orbital septum fascia was restored, the incision was closed primarily.
Results:
15 cases (30 eyes) were treated. 11 cases were followed up for 6-40 months (average, 9.5 months) with satisfactory cosmetic and functional result. No recurrence of ptosis happened.
Conclusions:
One-stage correction of sunken eyes combined with ptosis can be achieved with autologous fat injection or orbital fat transposition. Good cosmetic and functional result can be achieved.
