A Novel Method for Lower Blepharoplasty: Repositioning of the Orbital Septum Using Inverted T-Shaped Plication.
Numerous techniques have been used for lower blepharoplasty. The techniques can be classified into four principles: excision of excess fat, septal reset, orbital fat repositioning, and reinforcement of the attenuated orbital septum. ⋯ Septal plication with inverted T-shape or X-shape can minimize the downward forces that affect postoperative eyelid malposition and ectropion. Further, these procedures provide sufficiently strong reinforcement of the orbital septum to restore infraorbital fat herniation.
