Natural Eye Plastic Surgery for Middle-Aged Men!
A case study of a 60-year-old male patient who achieved a refreshed look through subbrow lift and lower blepharoplasty.
* Basic Information
# Male in his 60s
# Current Status
- 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.
# We decided to naturally resolve the eyelid sagging through a ‘subbrow lift,’ which pulls up the sagging skin from beneath the eyebrows.
# For the under-eye area, it is crucial to reposition the bulging fat pockets and perform orbicularis oculi muscle suspension to prevent ectropion and ensure long-lasting results.
* Surgical Plan
# Subbrow Lift
# Lower Blepharoplasty
* Post-operative Progress
# We focused on maximizing the correction of sagging through the subbrow lift. After lifting the sagging skin, the eyes look much lighter and more refreshed.
# When performing a subbrow lift, it is important not just to excise the skin but also to perform periosteal fixation to prevent re-sagging and ensure the effects last a long time.
# In the case of lower blepharoplasty, firm suspension of the orbicularis oculi muscle must be performed to prevent complications like ectropion or easy recurrence.
