Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the clinical experience about the transconjunctival lower eyelid blepharoplasty with correction of the eyelid orbital sulcus deformity.Methods:This group received 67 cases from June 2016 to July 2018, including 3 males and 64 females. The average age was 22 years. All the cases were diagnosed as lower eyelid bag with different degrees of fat herniation after orbital septum, with no or slight lower eyelid skin relaxation. Orbital sulcus of different degree appeared with outline of bony orbital margin, or accompanied by underdevelopment of the suborbital region. Through a transconjunctival incision or with short external canthal incision, the adipose mass was fully exposed behind the anterior wall of lower eyelid, the arcuate edge was released, and the pedicled orbital fat was transferred to the gap between the orbital eyelid sulcus and fixed in the lower orbital margin. If there was insufficient fat behind the orbital septum, a retroauricular fascia graft was used to make up.Results:No postoperative complications occured in all cases. After followed up for more than 3-month, 3 of 67 cases showed mild fat bulging pouch deformity in bilateral eyelids and 1 case was in unilateral eyelid. In other cases, deformity of the pouch and the eyelid orbital sulcus were improved significantly, and dynamic expression (orbicularis muscle contraction) showed no local uplift in lower eyelid morphology.Conclusion:The transconjunctival lower eyelid blepharoplasty with correction of the eyelid orbital sulcus deformity can obtain good clinical results in lower eyelid area.
