Middle-Aged Eye Surgery (Subbrow Lift, Lower Blepharoplasty)

* Basic Information

# Female in her 60s

# Medical History: Currently taking aspirin

# 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, as well as bulging and wrinkles under the eyes.

# Caution is required if performing ‘Upper Blepharoplasty only’ (a method of removing sagging skin while creating a double eyelid fold). This can make the puffiness of the upper eyelid more prominent and may result in a tacky or fierce-looking double eyelid.

# It was decided to address the sagging skin by lifting it from beneath the eyebrow.

# For the under-eye area, it is crucial to reposition the bulging fat pockets and perform orbicularis oculi muscle suspension to prevent ectropion (eyelid turning outward) and ensure long-lasting results.

* Surgical 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 previously hidden double eyelid line has been revealed!

# 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 suspension must be performed securely to prevent complications such as ectropion or easy recurrence.

# We also did not forget to create a natural ‘aegyo-sal’ (lower eyelid fullness) during the lower blepharoplasty. If the under-eye area is too flat, it can actually make a person look older.

Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
