Abstract：Objective To explore the efficacy of autologous adipose transplantation through an incision under the eyebrow in the correction of upper eyelid depression.Methods The adipose tissue was harvested from the abdomen through umbilicus incision or from the inner side of the thigh.The adipose tissue was purified by standing and centrifugation.Autologous adipose was injected into the orbital septum according to the principle of multiple points and layers,from 1 to 2 ml of each side.The skin was sutured through eyebrow lifting.Results Twelve patients were followed up from 3 to 10 months.The ptosis and depression of the upper eyelid were corrected.All patients were satisfied with the results.Conclusion It is feasible to perform adipose transplantation through incision under the eyebrow when carrying out eyebrow lifting.As the adipose tissue can be transplanted under direct vision,it is easier to grasp the injection layer and obtain good results.This method also reduces the incidence of complications.
