Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the clinical experience of using orbital fat pedicle to correct eyebags with the tear trough and palpebromalar groove deformity.Methods:From February 2020 to May 2021, 35 patients with lower blepharoplasty combined with orbital fat-release were treated in the Facial and Neck Plastic Surgery Center of the Plastic Surgery Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, including 4 males and 31 females. Their age ranged from 35 to 63 years, with an average age of 47.5 years. Different degrees of lower eyelid skin laxity, orbital fat herniation, moderate and severe tear trough, palpebromalar groove deformity were observed in all patients. Preoperative examination showed no symptoms such as lower eyelid ectropion and lower eyelid retreat ment. All 35 patients were treated with transcutaneous incision blepharoplasty, in which the orbital septal fat was released, pulled downward and internally fixed to the appropriate position to fill the tear trough and palpebromalar groove.Results:All patients obtained primary healing, no complications such as hematoma, and infection occured. Postoperative follow-up lasted from 3 to 18 months, with an average of 8.6 months. 35 patients′ eye bags with tear trough and palpebromalar groove deformity were obviously alleviated. Unilateral mild eye bag remained in 2 patients in postoperative 1 month, and 2 cases appeared mild lower eyelid ectropion postoperatively, none of these patients received special treatment and recovered after 3 months.Conclusions:Lower blepharoplasty combined with orbital fat release can effectively repair eye bags and correct tear trough and palpebromalar groove deformity.
