Arcus Marginalis Release

Refers to a specific surgical procedure for the lower eyelid where the orbital septum is cut as it inserts onto the lower orbital rim. This cut is made from behind the lower eyelid. This allows the lower eyelid fat responsible for the pillow of fullness that is commonly seen in the lower eyelid to be reduced. The fat representing this fullness is repositioned and used to fill in the hollow circle commonly present below the lower eyelid at the top of the cheek.
