  • Title: Fat-conserving aesthetic lower blepharoplasty.
    Author: Fante RG, Baker SR.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg Lasers; 2001; 32(1):41-7. PubMed ID: 11195742.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a variation on lower eyelid fat-conserving blepharoplasty as a treatment for several facets of periorbital aging, especially eyelid fat protrusion and skeletonization of the inferior orbital rim. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Retrospective review of 14 consecutive patients at an academic center who underwent fat-conserving lower blepharoplasty over an 8-month period. Independent evaluation of surgical success was performed by two experienced surgeons. RESULTS: Fat-conserving blepharoplasty corrected skeletonization of the inferior orbital rim in 13 of 14 cases, and was moderately effective at correction of lower eyelid fat protrusion and wrinkles. There were no complications. CONCLUSION: Fat-conserving lower blepharoplasty is a safe and effective surgical technique for reduction of visibility of the bony orbital rim and can complement other procedures used to improve signs of aging in the periorbital region.
