In the youthful face, the cheek fat lies anterior to the cornea and the orbital fat lies slightly anterior to the orbital rim.
■With aging, the cheek mass tends to lie posterior to the anterior surface of the cornea, the orbital fat moves slightly anterior, and the infraorbital rim has a significant movement posteriorly.
■■■Hence, retrusion of the infraorbital rim with aging will make the eyes appear more prominent by changing globe-rim relations, and it will significantly impact the appearance of the lower lid bags, particularly in those who have poorly projecting midface skeletons.
