Abstract
|
|
|
|
There are limitations to the conventional transconjunctival lower orbital fat removal surgery in subjects with severe infraorbital laxity. This may be because the reduction of orbital fat volume does not provide sufficient improvement of age-related skin laxity and wrinkles. Post-surgical adjuvant non-surgical procedures may be required in this subset of patients. This case report describes a successful infraorbital rejuvenation using an approach that combined microfocused ultrasound and absorbable thread in an old post-blepharoplasty patient whose surgical outcome was not satisfactory.
