We addressed the study of the lower eyelid fats bags contemplating the importance of two fundamental axes as they are, in the practice, cosmetic blepharoplasty and the purely anatomical aspect. Using formolized material orbital region and common technique, according dissections in each of the preparations were made in order to clarify, in the lower half of the orbit, the behavior of fat and structures involved with it, allowing besides incorporating the notion of architecture of the retroseptal space and of their compartments or medial, central and lateral subdivisions. This line of anatomic-surgical research led us finally to stablish precisely both the location and also the main features of each adipose packet of the lower lid.
