Abstract

Objectives: The correction of sunken upper eyelids often requires the functional assurance of levator palpebrae superioris. Thus, the eyelid reconstruction combined with volume augmentation of upper eyelid deficits, which was performed as a single-staged open surgery, brought more promising results than the fat grafting as a closed procedure previously. This study aimed to report the operrative outcomes of fascia-fat grafts combined with blepharoplasty in patients with sunken eyelids.


Methods: From January 2022 to December 2022, 30 patients with deficits in upper eyelids were treated by blepharoplasty combined with fascia-fat grafting. The reconstructive indications and fat volume depended on the grades of sunken eyelids.


Results: Postoperatively, swelling, periorbital bruise, difficulty in opening eyes, and blepharoptosis were transient and gradually addressed over recovered time. During 12 months of follow-up, two patients in group 2 demanded additional interventions to improve the results.


Conclusions: Thirty patients with deficits in the upper eyelids and eyelid deformities were treated by blepharoplasty along with fascia-fat grafting for volume augmentation maximally improved deformities and addressed patients’ concerns, providing a detailed procedure of upper eyelid rejuvenation.
