Abstract

The evolution of blepharoplasties is reviewed. By better understanding the mechanism of herniated lower eye lid fat pads, one can understand the interrelated enophthalmia, tear trough deformities, and sunken upper lid. The authors use a technique of relocating the herniated fat pad that reverses this process. All of this is described in detail.
