Abstract
Introduction. Aesthetic surgery is becoming more and more in demand every year. The main area of the face requiring correction is the periorbital area. Blepharoplasty is used for surgical correction of age-related changes in this area. Among the methods of surgical rejuvenation of the lower eyelid, most plastic surgeons prefer lower blepharoplasty with fat transposition.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the cosmetic effect and the frequency of complications during lower blepharoplasty with transposition of fat compartments of the lower eyelid.
Materials and methods. The study included 68 patients who underwent lower percutaneous blepharoplasty with transposition of fat lumps of the lower eyelid in 2022–23. All the patients were female. The age ranged from 35 to 57 years old. The reason for contacting a plastic surgeon in all patients were complaints about the presence of a fatty hernia in the lower eyelid area, the so-called "bags under the eyes".
Results and discussion. On the 7th day after the operation, the majority (95.6%) of patients noted full satisfaction with the cosmetic result. Upon examination a month later, 98,5 % of patients noted complete satisfaction with the cosmetic effect of the operation.
Conclusions. The cosmetic effect of lower blepharoplasty with transposition of fat compartments of the lower eyelid was evaluated. Most of the patients noted a positive result of the surgical intervention. Lower blepharoplasty with transposition of fat compartments can be recommended as the surgery of choice to eliminate fatty hernias of the lower eyelid.
