title: Rejuvenation of the upper eyelid complex with autologous fat transplantation.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Based on years of observation, it is apparent that the cosmetic surgical community has not adequately addressed the most significant "pathology" of aging. This is particularly true of the upper eyelid complex.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  This paper will focus on the necessity of volume restoration as an important tool to correct the deformities of aging or iatrogenia.
  
  
  METHODS
  The author has been performing volume restoration with autologous fat transplantation since 1986. He will present sample cases and discussion of the problem based on experience and archived literature (note: reference 1 includes over twenty additional references).
  
  
  RESULTS
  Results will be shown and discussed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Volume restoration with autologous fat transplantation is an important and useful tool for correcting the appearance of the aging face, and in particular, the upper eyelid complex.
