ABSTRACT
Objective@#To describe the use of autologous-fat grafting in postenucleation-socket syndrome.@*Methods@#This is a case report.@*Results@#There was marked improvement in the gross appearance of the treated orbit of the patient. There was relief in enophthalmos and superior-sulcus deformity. Bilateral orbital symmetry was achieved. Postoperatively, only minimal bruising and swelling both in the orbit and source site were observed, which resolved in 4 weeks.@*Conclusion@#The use of autologous-fat graft is a novel but highly effective technique and a good alternative in treating patients with postenucleation-socket syndrome.
