[Correcting tear trough by transconjunctival fat reposition :the clinical analysis of 30 cases].

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the clinical effect and experience of correcting tear trough by transconjunctival fat reposition.

METHODS

The study was performed in 60 patients with lower eyelid fat prolapse and tear trough deformity, in whom eyelid skin tightening was deemed unnecessary. All patients were divided into observation group and control group according to their desire. The observation group received the orbital fat release through the conjunctiva. The control group corrected eyelid bag without releasing orbital fat. The control group received filler treatment 2 months after operation. Postoperative complications were recorded, and the degree of outcome satisfaction was obtained at the 6-month postoperative follow-up.

RESULTS

Of the 30 patients in the observation group, excellent result was achieved in 25 cases, basically satisfactory in 2 cases, unsatisfactory in 3 cases. Of the 30 patients in the control group, excellent result was achieved in 16 cases, basically satisfactory in 8 cases, unsatisfactory in 6 cases.

CONCLUSIONS

Transconjunctival fat repositioning is a better procedure for patients with lower eyelid fat prolapse, tear trough deformity and eyelid skin tightening.
