Implication
Retrospective trial compares orbital fat flap transposition methods to improve eyelid hollowing, indicating optimal surgical approach.
Key Points
- This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combining orbital fat flap transposition with various methods for correcting mild to moderate upper eyelid hollowing during double eyelid surgery.
- Retrospective study involving 135 patients with upper eyelid hollowing, treated from March 2022 to June 2025.
- Participants were divided into 3 groups: group A (fat flap transposition alone, n=47), group B (transposition with fat grafting, n=46), and group C (transposition with hyaluronic acid, n=42).
- Postoperative improvement and patient satisfaction were assessed across the groups.],
- Group B showed the most significant improvement in hollowing depth (8.07±0.79 mm) compared to group C (7.63±0.67 mm) and group A (5.45±0.46 mm); P<0.01.
- At 9-12 months, group A's improvement (4.87±0.56 mm) was significantly less than group B (7.63±0.67 mm) and group C (6.67±1.45 mm).
- Higher satisfaction scores were achieved in group B, indicating better biocompatibility and long-term outcomes.
