Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the results of surgery to move the lower eyelid fat bag to fill the tear trough. Subjects and Methods: An uncontrolled clinical intervention study on 50 eyes that underwent surgery to move the lower eyelid fat bag to fill the tear groove through the lower eyelid skin incision to treat the deep lacrimal fissure from March 2022. to September 2023. Results of patients undergoing surgery were 34-74 years old (mean 54.28± 8.76 years old). Comparing the clinical characteristics before and after surgery, there is a clear improvement: reduction of deep lacrimal fissure, fat hernia and excess skin. Most patients are satisfied with the surgery. The main complications were bruising (60.9%), conjunctival edema (25.1%) which resolved spontaneously without re-intervention. Conclusion: Moving the lower eyelid fat bag to fill the tear groove through the skin incision is an effective method for cases of deep lacrimal fissure due to fatty hernia, sagging of the sphincter, skin and ligaments.
