The surgical anatomy of the upper eyelid fat in the medial compartment was investigated in 388 patients and in 12 cadavers. We found two individual fat pads comprising this compartment. The difference among the investigated cases was found to be the extent of their separation. In 16.7 percent of the cadavers' eyelids the fat pads were entirely separated, in 45.8 percent they were separated to about half their length, while in 37.5 percent only the tips were separated. Among the patients in whom only the protruded fat was inspected, 59.8 percent of the fat pads were separated, and in the rest, only the tips were isolated. On histologic examination we could always identify two well-circumscribed fat pads, each surrounded by a fibrocollagenous tissue. At the level of their interconnection, a loose fibroareolar tissue was found. In practice, during blepharoplasty, both fat pads should be addressed in order to achieve the expected results.
