Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning
Through Transconjunctival Incision
Photographed from Start to Finish

(also known as "arcus marginalis release
with fat repositioning")

For details and discussion on eyelid fat repositioning,
refer to the
Insider's Guide to Blepharoplasty.

Note: The following is provided for archival purposes and because this procedure is still in wide use elsewhere. We currently feel that orbital fat is best left undisturbed in its natural location.


(Surgery performed by Frank Meronk, Jr., M.D.)
1. Incision made through conjunctiva
2. Eyelid orbital fat exposed
3. Creation of uniform fat flap
4. Orbital septum opened at arcus marginalis
5. Creation of periosteal pocket over bone
6. Sutures placed in fat to be repositioned
7. Suture needle passing into periosteal pocket
