[Orbicularis oculi muscle suspension and orbital septum fixation in blepharoplasty].
OBJECTIVE
The study is to correct all the deformities of the lower eyelid. There is a regressive keletonization of the orbit as the soft-tissue covering of the lower eyelid skin and orbicularis oculi descend downward due to loss of tone, and the orbital fat herniates through a weakened septum orbital, resulting in an infraorbital crease.


METHODS
We suspend the orbicularis oculi muscle and fix the orbital septum in blepharoplasty.


RESULTS
This method has been used in 32 patients with satisfactory results in recent years.


CONCLUSIONS
The technique can improve all the deformities of the baggy eyelids and achieve long-lasting youthful countenance.
