Abstract
Most surgical techniques intended to rejuvenate the midface do not address the palpebro-malar junction. With the advent of lipostructure, it appeared possible to perform at the same time surgery of the upper and lower eyelid and fat grafting. The technical method and instruments are described. The results are more natural than with a standard blepharoplasty because fat grafting restores a more youthful three-dimensional appearance.
