Abstract:
Objective To study the effect and methods of orbital septum fat redistribution or autogenous orbital septum granular fat transplantation methods on upper eyelid depression.Methods Blepharoplasty incision was used to cut open musculus orbicularis oculi and septum orbitale horizontally,exposuring orbital fat,the conjunction was relieved between orbit fat envelope and septum orbitale,displaced orbital fat was extended and replaced to the depression region of upper eyelid,and the wound was routinely sutured.For orbital septum fat volume depletion,appropriate amount of granular fat was injected into depression region and put fat backward upto supraorbital margin.Then,resetting orbital septum and closing incision were conducted with suture technique of blepharoplasty.Results Of 48 cases (96 eyes),32 cases was followed-up for 6 to 42 months with mean of 11 months.All cases got ideal outcomes,with smooth and symmetry lid folds,depression of upper eyelid were fixed and no complication occurred.Conclusions Orbital septum fat redistribution or autogenous orbital septum granular fat transplantation can anatomically reduce the fat distribution of upper eyelid.This method is easy and effective to improve the appearance of eyelid.
