Transcutaneous lower eyelid blepharoplasty with micro-autologous fat transplantation harvested from orbital fat pads for lower eyelid aging treatment

The aging process of lower eyelids results in lower eyelid wrinkles, tear troughs, and eye bags. Many therapies have been described for treatment of lower eyelid aging, and transcutaneous blepharoplasty is often used for treating cases with eyebags and dermatochalasis. However, it may cause depression near the medial orbit resulting in a hollowed look. In the present study, we developed an innovative method transferring the herniated fatty tissue to volume loss area during the surgical procedure of transcutaneous lower eyelid blepharoplasty by means of micro-autologous fat transplantation harvested from resected orbital fat pads.
