title: [Correction of upper eyelid depression by transposition of orbital septum fat].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To discuss the operation method and characteristic of correcting upper eyelid depression by transposition of orbital septum fat.
  
  
  METHODS
  During the double eyelid surgery, we set.the lateral orbital septum fat completely free, while the bottom is still connected with the middle orbital septum fat. We separate a tunnel from the middle to the inner side in orbital septum, and the separated orbital septum fat is transposed to the inner side of orbital septum by the tunnel with suturing fixation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  From March 2008 to October 2013, 51 cases with upper eyelid depression were treated successfully. Patients were followed up for 3 months to 3 years (average, 7. 5 months) with sustained aesthetic results.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Orbital septum fat transposition can successfully correct the upper eyelid depression. It should become a regular procedure in blepharoplasty.
