title: Lower eyelid dermatochalasis with massive postural herniation of orbital fat.
abstract: A severe degree of the aging process in the eyelid and orbital soft tissue complex can lead to extreme weakness or even dehiscence of the supporting fascia and other surrounding soft tissue, rarely leading to free mobility of the orbital fat pads and hence postural herniation into the eyelids as seen in this unusual case.
