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

* Basic Information

# Female in her 60s

# Medical History: No specific issues

# Current Condition

- Thin skin with significant sagging

- Bulging under-eye fat creating a tired appearance

* 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 if performing ‘Upper Blepharoplasty alone’ (a method of removing sagging skin while creating a double eyelid), as it can make the puffiness of the brow area 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.

# Regarding the lower eyes, it is crucial to reposition the bulging fat pockets and use orbicularis oculi muscle suspension to prevent ectropion and ensure long-lasting results.

* Surgical Plan

# Subbrow Lift

# Lower Blepharoplasty

* Surgical Process and Progress

# Efforts were made to resolve the sagging as much as possible through a subbrow lift.

# 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 securely suspended to prevent complications like ectropion or easy recurrence.

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