description | Objective This retrospective, single-center, interventional study presented the long-term results of a novel surgical technique for the management of subconjunctival orbital fat prolapse. Methods Nine eyes of seven consecutive patients were surgically repaired using the technique involving connective tissue repair and were intended to be followed-up for more than five years. Results All surgeries performed were uneventful and esthetic enhancement was achieved for each patient. No postoperative complications were noted. There was no recurrence throughout the follow-up period; six eyes of four patients were followed-up for more than five years. Conclusions This technique with connective tissue repair achieved good long-term results. |
