Pronounced nasojugal sulcus (tear trough deformity) is a frequent and distressing symptom in aesthetic palpebral surgery. The sliding fat technique using the transcutaneous or transconjunctival approach has proven to be considerably useful in patients with clinically evident fat bags. In the absence of fat bags, commonly used techniques can lead to unpredictable (and frequently less than optimal) results.
