Facial plastic surgery is an emerging subspeciality in ENT. • Focuses on improving patient’s facial appearance. • Eyelid rejuvenation • Upper-lid blepharoplasty, ptosis repair - Transconjunctivallower-lid blepharoplasty (with or without skin pinch) -Transcutaneous skin-muscle flap (with or without midfacial extension
THE BEAUTIFUL EYE • Brow – centrally on rim, laterally above the rim • Upper lid crease <10 mm above lid margin • Lateral lid free of hooding
The Aging Face - Descent of lower lid - Descent of malar fat pad - Increase in size of tear trough - Nasolabialfolds
FAT POCKETS Medial fat pad Central fat pad
Goals of Lower blepharoplasty with Fat Reposition (LBP with FR) • To create a smooth transition from the lower lid to the cheek • To get more natural, youthful look without abnormal hollowness • To avoid complications • Now blepharoplasty has moved from removal to repositioning the fat
DATA • March 2015 – August 2018 • Total number of cases: 59 • F: M = 52 : 7 • Maxium age = 68 years • Minimum age = 20 years • Mean age = 35 years
Lower Blepharoplasty with Fat Reposition (LBP+FR) • Transcutaneous approach - External approach with subcillary incision - Skin pinch/Skin-muscle flap excision
Lower Blepharoplasty with Fat Reposition (LBP+FR) • Transconjunctival approach - Fat transposition, fat grafting - SOOF, malar fat pad
Good Candidates for TCLBP Poor Candidates for TCLBP • Young-middle aged patients • Mild to moderate drooping of periorbital tissue • No apparent redundant lower lid skin • Patients with reasonable expectation • Elder patients • Severe drooping of periorbital tissue or face • Apparent redundant lower lid skin need to be excised • Patients with over-expectation
RESULTS • Out of 59 patients, 50 patients underwent transconjunctival and 9 patients underwent transcutaneous lower lid blepharoplasty. • Only one person required revision LLB. (Right eye, due to residual eye bag) • None of the cases experienced complications.
COMPLICATIONS • Hematoma • Scarring • Persistent oedema • Diplopia • Ocular Injury • Round eye ( Inferior retraction of the lower lid, scleral show and rounding of the lateral canthus) • Ectropion • Loss of vision • Chemosis • Over or under correction
CONCLUSION • LBP with fat repositioning can have natural results • Less complications • Adjunctive procedures might be required for more favorable results
