Plastic surgeons can now remove the eyebrow fat pad during superior blepharoplasty. This technique reduces upper eyelid thickness, offering an alternative to bone remodeling for aesthetic improvement.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Oculoplastic Surgery
  • Facial Anatomy

Context:

  • The eyebrow fat pad, described in 1909, has been largely overlooked in plastic surgery.
  • Recent clinical practice shows its removal in 20% of superior blepharoplasty cases.
  • This fat pad contributes to upper eyelid thickness.

Purpose:

  • To present the surgical technique for removing the eyebrow fat pad.
  • To illustrate the application of this technique with clinical examples.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of eyebrow fat pad removal in superior blepharoplasty.

Summary:

  • The eyebrow fat pad was excised in 20% of superior blepharoplasty procedures over the last five years.
  • This surgical approach reduces upper eyelid thickness.

Related Experiment Videos

  • The technique provides a reduction in thickness, though less than bone remodeling.

    • Impact:

    • This technique offers a novel approach to managing upper eyelid thickness in blepharoplasty.
    • It provides an alternative or adjunct to traditional bone remodeling procedures.
    • The findings may encourage wider adoption of eyebrow fat pad removal in oculoplastic surgery.
