Correction of Nasojugal Groove With Tunnelled Fat Graft

Abstract

Correction of the nasojugal groove with a tunnelled fat graft causes minimal tissue trauma and allows exact placement of the graft. The upper palpebral fat has unique characteristics that render it an ideal graft material for correction of the nasojugal groove in patients with no concomitant lower fat bags. This procedure offers more predictable results and a lower incidence of adverse effects than more commonly used techniques.
