| Abstract |
|
Subconjunctival fat prolapse is characterized by a yellow, convex, movable mass on the superotemporal quadrant. It is thought that orbital fat is prolapsed forward through the weakened Tenon's capsule, as an aging process. This lesion may be confused with lipodermoid, prolapsed lacrimal gland and lipoma. We report 4 cases (7 eyes) of subconjunctival fat prolapse, all of them were men, aged from 48 to 67 years. After surgical treartment, good cosmesis was obtained with the average follow-up period of 15.5 months. |
