Abstract
Introduction: Over the year, the position of the eyelids changes, causing a tired and aged appearance. Using blepharoplasty and fat grafting techniques, we can improve the appearance of our face, as well as rejuvenate and improve the quality of our skin. Objective: To describe a case report of a 66-year-old male patient who presented with hollowing of the middle third of the face, scleral exposure with a negative malar vector. Methodology: The patient underwent upper blepharoplasty with canthopexy and malar and periorbital fat grafting. Conclusion: Autologous lip grafting in combination with other facial rejuvenation techniques represents a valuable tool in modern plastic surgery, offering significant benefits in both the appearance and functionality of the periorbital region.
