Minimal Incision Lower Augmentation Blepharoplasty: 3 Simple Steps to Facial Mid-Term Rejuvenation

BACKGROUND: The practice of removing skin and fatty tissue from the lower eyelid does not accommodate the different forms of facial aging. Therefore, techniques that encompass the recovery of facial volumes are common. Currently, when isolated lower blepharoplasty is performed, it does not take into...

description BACKGROUND: The practice of removing skin and fatty tissue from the lower eyelid does not accommodate the different forms of facial aging. Therefore, techniques that encompass the recovery of facial volumes are common. Currently, when isolated lower blepharoplasty is performed, it does not take into account that mid-face rejuvenation is simultaneously possible. Furthermore, it is not always necessary to make incisions along the entire lash line, because this may be minimal in good candidates. OBJECTIVES: This article presents a selection of patients who underwent augmentation lower blepharoplasty for the rejuvenation of the middle third of the face associated with the periorbital area, which is a modified traditional lower blepharoplasty technique performed with minimal incisions and fat grafting. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on 160 patients who underwent lower augmentation blepharoplasty performed by the authors from July 2017 to March 2021. The small incision utilized is approximately 15 to 18 mm and does not reach the ends or edges of the lower eyelid. The procedure is accompanied by fat grafting in the area of the middle third of the face. Finally, a Likert test was conducted to assess satisfaction. RESULTS: The patients presented a noticeable improvement, obtaining more attractive and youthful results from the middle third of the face. There were no major complications, and the patient outcomes were satisfactory. CONCLUSIONS: Augmentation lower blepharoplasty with minimal incisions can be a useful alternative for selected patients who seek to jointly rejuvenate the middle third of the face.
