Abstract
Lifting the lower eyelid includes removing skin excess of the lid and, most of the time, improves the fat herniation without any removal of the fat be cause of the tension of the orbicularis muscle obtained with this maneuver. The "lifting" also corrects the arcus marginalis as well as malar bags whe n they exist. Most of the crow 's-feet lines are eliminated by this procedu re, and the superior aspect of the nasolabial fold is often considerably sm oothed.
