IN THIS issue of the ARCHIVES, Baker1 presents an excellent historical background and a thorough overview of the anatomical and theoretical concerns regarding fat preservation as a method to rejuvenate the lower eyelid/midface complex. He discusses 2 methods of fat redistribution: (1) repositioning,2 which involves repositing prolapsed fat into the orbit to replace lower eyelid fat behind the orbital rim, and (2) mobilization,3 which refers to the arcus marginalis release with draping of lower eyelid fat over the inferior orbital rim such that it fills the existing subrim area where soft tissue is scant. Baker then presents his experience with fat mobilization in lower eyelid blepharoplasties performed by both the transcutaneous and the transconjunctival methods. He does not describe his experience with fat repositioning (repositing).
The goals and methods of lower eyelid surgery have evolved dramatically over the past 30 years. At first, excess fat was removed beneath a . . . [Full Text of this Article]
