CAT 059
Periorbital Volume Restoration | Under-eye fat grafting
Case Overview
Concern
Under-eye dark circles associated with tear trough hollowing, creating a shadowed and fatigued appearance.
Approach
Structural fat grafting to the infraorbital region.
Objective
Restoration of volume along the orbital rim and reduction of shadowing.
Preoperative Findings
Structural observations
Tear trough volume deficiency
Infraorbital hollowing along the orbital rim
Shadow formation contributing to dark circle appearance
(arrows indicate areas discussed above)
Surgical Technique
Structural fat grafting to the orbital rim
Deep, bone-supported placement
Conservative volume distribution
Avoidance of superficial overcorrection
Postoperative Result
Postoperative observation
Softer tear trough contour
Reduction of infraorbital shadowing
Improved light reflection in the lower eyelid region
Natural appearance maintained
