Dermis fat graft is a surgical technique that is nowadays well accepted for
the reconstruction of the orbital cavities. The authors report the results
and the follow-up of 17 dermis fat grafts carried out at the Reims Hospita
l between March 1(st), 1987 and December 31(st) 1999. They explain the moda
lities of the technique, its major indications and the possible complicatio
ns.
At Reims, the dermis fat graft is mainly done to resolve intraorbital impla
nt extrusions.
