Is a lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning the wrong procedure on a patient with a Negative Vector Orbit? (photo)

Question

60’s female

C. Blake Perry, MD · Answer

This depends on your goals for the surgery, your orbital measurements, and the amount of fat in your lower lids. The other option would be cheek/tear trough implants and a midface lift. Best to see an expert in your area.

Christopher C. Lo, MD · Answer

Fat positioning can often actually help improve cheek volume in patients with a negative vector as the fat from around the eye is draped over the recessed cheek bones. This may not be enough to fully compensate for a negative vector and fat grafting or filler may be a nice adjunctive procedure.
Be well,
