This study re-examines lower eyelid anatomy for transconjunctival blepharoplasty. Findings reveal fat distribution differs from traditional descriptions, impacting surgical approaches for lower eyelid rejuvenation.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Ophthalmology
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • The transconjunctival approach is a common technique for lower blepharoplasty.
  • Accurate anatomical understanding is crucial for optimizing surgical outcomes and safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To delineate lower eyelid anatomy relevant to the transconjunctival blepharoplasty approach.
  • To correlate cadaveric findings with in-vivo imaging for enhanced surgical planning.

Main Methods:

  • Dissection of 20 fresh cadaver lower eyelids.
  • Photomicrographic analysis of cross-sections and whole organs.
  • Correlation with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in living patients.

Main Results:

  • Identified optimal transconjunctival incision placement near the fornix for safe fat compartment access.
  • Challenged traditional descriptions of distinct periorbital fat compartmentalization.
  • Observed consistent lateral fat pad extension and significant extra-orbital fat contributing to lower eyelid fullness.

    • Conclusions:

    • The transconjunctival approach offers direct access to fat compartments when incisions are strategically placed.
    • Traditional fat compartment anatomy may not fully represent lower eyelid structure.
    • Cheek and suborbicularis fat accumulations require consideration beyond the transconjunctival scope.
