Achieve Natural Youthfulness with Middle-Aged Eye Surgery!
A case study of a woman in her 40s who achieved a refreshed, youthful look through sub-brow lift, non-incisional ptosis correction, and epicanthoplasty.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 40s
# Medical History: No specific issues
# Current Status
- Skin is thin with significant sagging
- Weak eyelid opening strength and puffy upper eyelids
* Consultation
# The patient has significant sagging of the upper eyelid skin and weak eyelid opening strength.
# Caution is required because performing ‘Upper Blepharoplasty alone’ (a method of removing sagging skin while creating a double eyelid) can make the puffiness of the eyelids more prominent and result in a tacky or harsh-looking double eyelid.
# We plan to lift the sagging skin from beneath the eyebrows and improve the eyelid opening strength through non-incisional ptosis correction.
# Since the Mongolian fold made the eyes look stuffy, an epicanthoplasty was also planned.
* Surgical Plan
# Sub-brow Lift
# Non-incisional Ptosis Correction
# Epicanthoplasty
* Surgical Process and Progress
# Sub-brow Lift
- Efforts were made to resolve the skin sagging as much as possible.
- It is important not just to excise the skin, but to perform periosteal fixation to prevent re-sagging and ensure long-lasting results.
# Non-incisional Ptosis Correction
- By not only creating a double eyelid line but also improving the eyelid opening strength, the patient now has a much clearer and more defined gaze.
# Overall, the eyelids look light and refreshed, and I am very satisfied as the patient seems to have rejuvenated very naturally ^^
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
Is upper blepharoplasty alone sufficient for middle-aged eye surgery?
No, upper blepharoplasty alone may not be sufficient. It can result in prominent puffiness of the eyelids or create unnatural and fierce-looking double eyelids, so caution is needed.
What are the effects of sub-brow lift surgery?
A sub-brow lift resolves sagging skin by lifting it from under the eyebrows and helps to maintain the effect for a long time through periosteal fixation. This creates a natural eye shape.
What does non-incisional ptosis correction improve?
Non-incisional ptosis correction not only creates a double eyelid line but also improves weakened eye-opening strength, helping to create a clearer and more defined impression.
What surgery can be considered if there is an epicanthal fold?
If epicanthal folds make the impression look stuffy, planning an epicanthoplasty together can refresh the eye shape. This contributes to an overall improvement in impression.
What side effects can occur after surgery?
After surgery, complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur, and these may vary from person to person, so caution is needed.
How long is the recovery period after middle-aged eye surgery?
The text does not directly mention the recovery period, but photos taken 3 months after surgery show a naturally settled appearance. The recovery period may vary depending on the individual.
