Periorbital Fat Grafting: A New Paradigm for Rejuvenation of the Eyelids

Fat grafting represents the most important new addition to surgical procedures to rejuvenate the orbit since the inception of the "blepharoplasty" technique. Traditional blepharoplasty procedures do not always address the changes that occur with age in the orbital area and can actually degrade the appearance of the eye. Fat grafting allows treatment of age-associated loss of periorbital volume not addressed by traditional blepharoplasty procedures. Fat grafting is an artistically powerful method to rejuvenate the periorbital orbital area that often provides a more healthy, fit, youthful, and sensual appearance than traditional blepharoplasty procedures.
