    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmic plastic surgery
    • Cosmetic surgery
    • Anatomical reconstruction

    Context:

    • Aging leads to fat resorption in the mid-orbital fat compartment, causing supra-tarsal depression.
    • This aesthetic concern affects the appearance of the upper eyelids.
    • Existing procedures may address similar issues post-enucleation.

    Purpose:

    • To describe an adapted surgical procedure for correcting age-related supra-tarsal depression.
    • To introduce the use of custom silicone implants for upper eyelid volume restoration.
    • To provide a solution for the aesthetic consequences of orbital fat atrophy.

    Summary:

    • The procedure involves creating a mold for a custom silicone implant.
    • The implant is precisely inserted behind the orbital septum of the upper eyelid.
  • This technique aims to aesthetically correct the sunken appearance caused by fat loss.

    • Impact:

    • Offers a viable surgical option for rejuvenating the aging eye.
    • Improves aesthetic outcomes by restoring youthful eyelid contour.
    • Provides a patient-specific solution for supra-tarsal volume deficit.
