ABSTRACT

Introduction: Protrusion of palpebral fat pads is a characteristic sign of facial aging. Currently, the tendency is to perform conservative blepharoplasty with more repositioning and less resection of pseudoherniated fat pads.
bjective: To describe the outcomes of blepharoplasty with subperiosteal transposition of the lower palpebral fat pads and percutaneous fixation.
Methods: A descriptive, prospective and longitudinal study was carried out in patients who attended the plastic surgery office of Hermanos Ameijeiras Clinical Surgical Hospital from April 2016 to December 2020 and met the inclusion criteria. The sample consisted of 31 patients who stayed until the end of the study.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 52.3 ± 4.7 years, with predominance of female sex (83.9 %) and patients with white skin color (61.3 %). The most frequent palpebral and periorbital signs of aging were protrusion of medial fat pads (100 %), marked nasojugal sulcus (100 %) and presence of blepharogenic pad (93.5 %). In the postoperative period (six months), total correction of the inferomedial palpebral bags, as well as disappearance of the nasojugal sulcus and blepharogenic pad, was observed, accounting for 45.2 % and 54.8 % of patients, respectively. Cases with good and satisfactory aesthetic outcomes predominated. Only five patients (16.1 %) presented complications, which were totally reversible.
Conclusions: Blepharoplasty with subperiosteal transposition of the palpebral fat pads and percutaneous fixation is a procedure with good aesthetic outcomes and a high percent rate of satisfaction.
