The standard treatment for herniated "bags" of the lower eyelid is surgical removal of excess fat. Sachs and Bosniak in 1986 and de la Plaza and Arroyo in 1988 described a new technique for treatment of palpebral bags that consisted of returning the herniated fat to the orbital cavity and retaining it by continuous sutures of the capsulopalpebral fascia either to the dehiscent portion of the orbital septum or to the periosteum of the lower orbital rim. This article reports a prospective study of 26 patients who underwent standard blepharoplasty in one lower eyelid and capsulopalpebral fascia hernia repair in the other lower eyelid. All were evaluated at 6 weeks and at 6 months after surgery, and the outcomes were compared. The results of the two different techniques in the same patient have shown comparable aesthetic outcomes in the treatment of palpebral bags. However, results indicate that the capsulopalpebral fascia hernia repair technique carries less discomfort and pain during the operation and may be less prone to postoperative bleeding and hematoma formation. In addition, in contrast to standard lower blepharoplasty with fat resection, hollowing of the lower lid or potential sunken appearance of the globe may remain absent with capsulopalpebral fascia hernia repair beyond the 6-month period of this study. |
