Efficacy and Outcomes of Pedicled Upper Orbital Fat Fascia Flap Transposition Using 3D Facial Scanning: A Retrospective Study.
Abstract
[BACKGROUND] Sunken upper eyelids convey an impression of fatigue. Pedicled orbital fat fascia flap (POFFF) transposition has been commonly adopted as an effective technique for augmenting upper eyelid volume. Nevertheless, objective quantitative assessments of the long-term volumetric outcomes remain lacking. This study aimed to assess upper eyelid volume changes and evaluate the efficacy of POFFF transposition in restoring volume using 3D facial scanning technology.
[METHODS] This retrospective study included 43 patients (86 upper eyelids) who underwent POFFF transposition between January 2017 and December 2024. 3D facial scanning was performed at baseline (T0), within 5 days (T1), 1 month (T2), and at least 6 months (T3) postoperative using the VECTRA imaging system. Surgical efficacy was evaluated using 3D facial data from T0, T1, T2, and T3, analyzed with GeoMagic Warp for volume change. Fat absorption rate was calculated with GeoMagic Design X. Patients' reported satisfaction was assessed using the Chinese version of the FACE-Q™ questionnaire scores for eye appearance satisfaction.
[RESULTS] All procedures were successfully performed, with effective three-dimensional correction of the sunken upper eyelids and no major complications. Deviation analysis revealed an immediate postoperative increase in upper eyelid volume. On the left upper eyelid, the volume increased by 223.98±7.01 mm at T2 and 197.19±5.97 mm at T3 (P<0.05), corresponding to a volume reduction rate of 11.96±2.7%. On the right upper eyelid, the volume increased by 225.77±6.62 mm at T2 and 198.67±5.69 mm at T3 (P<0.05), with a volume reduction rate of 12.00±3.8%. When considering both eyelids together, the volume increased by 224.87 ±6.84 mm at T2 and 197.93±5.85 mm at T3 (P<0.05), showing an overall volume reduction rate of 11.98±3.3%.. FACE-Q scores for eye satisfaction significantly improved from 46.50±10.37 to 74.16±9.67 (P<0.05), with all patients expressing satisfaction with their enhanced appearance.
[CONCLUSIONS] POFFF transposition effectively increases upper eyelid volume with minimal resorption, providing three-dimensional reconstruction for sunken eyelids. This technique shows promise, especially for patients with mild to moderate upper eyelid sunkenness, though larger studies are needed to determine optimal indications.
