Women in their 50s, Rejuvenate Naturally! (1. Lower Blepharoplasty & Midface Lift 2. Subbrow Lift & Partial Incision Double Eyelid)

A female patient in her 50s visited our clinic.

Her main concerns were the increasingly prominent sagging and fine lines under the eyes, nasolabial folds, volume loss in the midface area, and a heavy, tired impression caused by sagging upper eyelids whenever she looked in the mirror.

In particular, she wanted to return to a clearer and healthier-looking impression through natural changes.

Why a Combined Approach is Necessary

After the 50s, aging of the upper and lower eye areas often progresses simultaneously.

As the skin and muscles of the upper eyelids sag, they cover the field of vision and obscure the pupils, resulting in a stuffy and aged appearance.

For the lower eyelids, fat bulges out while the nasolabial and midface areas below become hollow, creating a tired and aged face.

Therefore, rather than operating on only one side, it is more effective to correct the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, and midface together. This case required exactly such an approach.

Surgical Method

Considering the patient’s condition, the following combined surgery was performed:

Lower Blepharoplasty + Midface Lift

: Repositioned bulging under-eye fat and lifted sagging midface tissue to smoothly connect the hollow nasolabial folds and cheekbone lines.

→ Improved the tired and depressed impression and restored a voluminous, youthful face.

Subbrow Lift

: Naturally excised excessively sagging upper eyelid skin from just below the eyebrows to improve the heaviness covering the eyes.

→ The eyes open more refreshingly, and the impression becomes much lighter.

Partial Incision Double Eyelid Surgery

: Created a natural double eyelid line while tidying up the thick eyelids, making the eyes look clearer and younger.

→ A natural change that enhances the original eye shape without being excessive.

Post-Surgical Changes

After the surgery, the patient experienced the following changes:

The tired impression was improved as the under-eye area was smoothly organized.

Hollowness around the nasolabial folds was filled and volume was restored, recovering a soft and healthy facial line.

The upper eyelids became lighter, making the pupils clearly visible and the eyes more defined.

Overall, a ‘naturally rejuvenated face’ was achieved without a drastic change in impression.

The patient herself was very satisfied, saying, ‘People around me ask if I’ve been resting or tell me I look much more relaxed.’

Conclusion

Aging of the eye area and face after the 50s is not a problem of just one part, but a complex issue where the upper and lower areas progress together.

Therefore, as in this case, harmoniously performing Lower Blepharoplasty & Midface Lift + Subbrow Lift & Partial Incision Double Eyelid can achieve a natural and sophisticated youthful effect without looking obvious.
