Summary

Periorbital rejuvenation has been an issue of great interest in plastic surgery. Adipose tissue plays an important role in the periorbital anatomy, and has a great impact on the aging process of the region. We believe age-related atrophy of the facial adipose tissue may be related to the decreased proliferation and differentiation capability of the preadipocytes (adipose precursor cells).
