Abstract

Background: The periorbital region represents a challenging
area for the plastic surgeon since ages. The complain of
the dark halos of our patient received a continuous attention
with trials to modify the discolouration.
Aim of Study: The new technique of nanofat grafting of
the region by SNIF technique is a new way of managing the
area properly. The nanofat with its content of fine fat and
stem cells will help improve the color and quality of the eyelid
region.
Material and Methods: In this study 64 Egyptian male
and female patients of various age groups were involved in
our study with satisfactory results in most cases.
Follow-up: All cases were evaluated from 6m-1 year.
Recommendation: This technique is recommended for
the management of dark halos.
