Natural Middle-Aged Eye Surgery (Subbrow Lift, Lower Blepharoplasty)
A case study of a 70-year-old female patient who achieved a natural, rejuvenated look through a subbrow lift and lower blepharoplasty to address sagging lids and under-eye bags.

* Basic Information
# Female in her 70s
# Medical History: None
# Current Condition
- Habit of raising eyebrows due to sagging skin on the upper eyelids
- Tired appearance caused by bulging fat under the eyes
* Consultation
# The patient visited the clinic planning for surgery due to significant sagging of the upper eyelid skin, along with bulging and wrinkles under the eyes.
# Caution is required when performing ‘upper blepharoplasty alone’ (a method of removing sagging skin while creating a double eyelid), as it can make the puffiness of the upper lid more prominent and result in a tacky or harsh-looking double eyelid.
# It was decided to address the sagging skin by lifting it from beneath the eyebrows.
# For the under-eye area, it is crucial to reposition the bulging fat pockets and use orbicularis oculi muscle suspension to prevent ectropion and ensure long-lasting results.
* Plan
# Subbrow Lift
# Lower Blepharoplasty



* Post-operative Progress
# We aimed to resolve the sagging as much as possible through a subbrow lift. By lifting the sagging skin, the hidden inner double eyelid line has been revealed!
# Furthermore, when performing a subbrow lift, it is important not just to excise the skin but to perform periosteal fixation to prevent re-sagging and ensure the effects last a long time.
# In the case of lower blepharoplasty, the orbicularis oculi muscle must be firmly suspended to prevent complications such as ectropion or easy recurrence.
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
