Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Oculoplastic Surgery
Facial Rejuvenation

Background:

Tear trough deformity is a common sign of periorbital aging.
Existing treatments include implants, fillers, and fat grafting.
Endoscopic-assisted fat grafting offers a potential solution for tear trough correction.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the application of endoscopically assisted fat grafting for tear trough deformity correction.
To assess the efficacy and outcomes of this technique in combination with mid-face lift surgery.

Main Methods:

Thirty-two patients with tear trough deformity underwent endoscopic-assisted fat grafting and mid-face lift.
Pre- and postoperative photographs were evaluated using the tear trough rating scale by independent surgeons.

Main Results:

Complete elimination of tear trough deformity in all patients.
Stable fat grafts observed at twelve months post-surgery.
The technique demonstrated anatomical integrity preservation, precise volumetric restoration, and scarless outcomes.

Conclusions:

Endoscopic-assisted fat grafting integrated with mid-face lift provides a comprehensive solution for tear trough deformity.
The procedure offers anatomical integrity, precise volume restoration, and minimal scarring, enhancing patient satisfaction.
Careful patient selection and ongoing monitoring are crucial for optimal results and managing potential complications.
