Orbital septorhaphy for the correction of baggy upper and lower eyelids.
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery 2000 November
Eyelid bags are the result of relaxation of lid structures like the skin, the orbicularis muscle, and mainly the septum, with subsequent protrusion or pseudo herniation of intraorbital fat contents. The logical treatment of baggy upper and lower eyelids should therefore include repositioning the herniated fat into the orbit and strengthening the attenuated septum in the form of a septorhaphy as a hernia repair. The preservation of orbital fat results in a more youthful appearance. The operative technique of the orbital septorhaphy is demonstrated for the upper and lower eyelid. A prospective series of 60 patients (50 upper and 90 lower blepharoplasties) with a maximum follow-up of 17 months were analyzed. Pleasing results were achieved in 56 patients. A partial recurrence was noted in 3 patients and widening of the palpebral fissure in 1 patient. Orbital septorhaphy for baggy eyelids is a rational, reliable procedure to correct the herniation of orbital fat in the upper and lower eyelids. Tightening of the orbicularis muscle and skin may be added as usual. The procedure is technically simple and without trauma to the orbital contents. The morbidity is minimal, the rate of complications is low, and the results are pleasing and reliable.
