The swelling gradually disappeared at 3 month postoperatively. Patients were followed up for 3 months to 12 months with sustained aesthetic results; no complications occurred. Free fat graft survived well, and no obvious scar, sags, or crests were present in the upper eyelid.Conclusions:It is a reasonable method for correcting sunken upper eyelid and multiple folds with orbital fat flap and free fat.
