title: Small-incision, sutureless repair of subconjunctival fat prolapse.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To present a new, small-incision, sutureless surgical technique for the repair of subconjunctival fat prolapse.
  
  
  METHODS
  This is a retrospective interventional case series. Four eyes of 3 patients who presented with prolapsed subconjunctival fat were surgically repaired using a small-incision, sutureless technique with fibrin glue. No prolapsed subconjunctival fat was excised.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The surgical treatment of prolapsed subconjunctival fat using a small-incision, sutureless technique with fibrin glue was successful in all 4 eyes. There have been no cases of recurrence of the prolapsed subconjunctival fat with a mean follow up of 31 months.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Small-incision, sutureless repositioning of subconjunctival fat using fibrin glue is an effective new surgical technique for the management of prolapsed subconjunctival fat.
