Combination Orbital Pearl Fat and Strip Fat Grafting
for Advanced Upper Eyelid Hollowness

An operation for the treatment
of severely deficient upper orbital volume

Before Surgery - Right Eye
This patient demonstrates cavernous upper hollowness following previous blepharoplasty performed elsewhere (Doll's Eye Deformity). Such severe orbital volume deficieny is beyond the reach of strip fat grafting using a closed method.

An open approach resembling that developed for treating lower eyelid hollowness was employed. Pearl fat was used to augment deeper orbital volume, while strip fat was applied as an overlay to provide a more stable and smoother external contour.

Result

Note eyelid volume augmentation and natural brow lift from enhanced orbital support
