ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the clinical application of orbital fat fascia flap in upper eyelid depression correction.Methods:From January 2015 to December 2020, 38 female patients (aged 25-55 years, average 37.5 years) with mild to moderate upper eyelid depression were treated with orbital fat fascia flap at plastic surgery department of Friendship Plastic Surgery Hospital affiliated to Nanjing Medical University. During the operation, the lateral part of the central orbital septal fat was transferred to the upper eyelid depression, and then the upper eyelid depression was corrected.Results:35 cases of upper eyelid depression were significantly improved postoperatively, 2 cases of double eyelid line became shallow after operation, and adjustment was performed again; 1 case had partial depression on one side and received autologous granular fat supplement transplantation. Postoperative effect was satisfied.Conclusions:The method of longitudinal separation and preservation of the capsule below the orbital septal for orbital septal fat transposition can better correct the upper eyelid depression while reducing fat absorption.
