A New Method for Creating Lower-Lid Pretarsal Fullness by Fixation of Orbicularis Oculi Muscle-Wrapped Fascia-Fat Flap to the Tarsal Plate.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of orbicularis oculi muscle-wrapped fascia-fat flap fixed to the tarsal plate in creating the pretarsal fullness of the lower eyelids. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis retrospective study included 213 patients who underwent lower pretarsal augmentation surgery between November 2022 and December 2024. The surgical procedure involved wrapping of fascia-fat flap by orbicularis oculi muscle, followed by fixation to the tarsal plate. After surgery, patients were followed up at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. Clinical outcomes, including the contour of the pretarsal fullness of the lower eyelids and patient satisfaction, were evaluated. The occurrence of complications such as hematomas, scarring, infection, trichiasis, lower eyelid retraction, and ectropion were recorded.
resultsThe study comprised 5 males and 208 females, with an age range of 20-50 years. Sutures were removed at 7 days after surgery in all patients. The contour of the pretarsal fullness was good, with complete eyelid closure. At 3- and 6-month follow-up, the pretarsal fullness appeared natural, without the occurrence of lower eyelid retraction or incomplete eyelid closure. Depressed scars were not found at the incision site. Among the 213 patients included, 195 were satisfied with the results, 18 were basically satisfied, and none were dissatisfied, yielding a satisfaction rate of 91.5%.
conclusionFixation of orbicularis oculi muscle-wrapped fascia-fat flap to the tarsal plate is effective in creating both static and dynamic pretarsal fullness, yielding excellent clinical outcomes.
