Natural Middle-Aged Eye Surgery (Endoscopic Forehead Lift, Ptosis Correction, Lower Blepharoplasty)

* Basic Information

# Female in her 50s

# Medical History: Previous lower blepharoplasty

# Current Concerns

- Underwent lower blepharoplasty about 10 years ago, but the under-eye area has become bulging and wrinkled again.

- Asymmetrical eye opening due to weak levator muscle strength in the right eye.

* Consultation

# Because the right eye has weak opening strength, the patient shows a pattern of lifting only the right eyebrow. Ptosis correction is essential to balance the eye-opening power!

# Since the forehead and eyes cannot be considered separately, we decided to perform an endoscopic forehead lift to address eyelid sagging and create a more refreshed impression.

# Although she had lower blepharoplasty once before, time has passed and the under-eye area has become bulging and wrinkled again. We decided to improve this through revision lower blepharoplasty.

* Surgical Plan

# Endoscopic Forehead Lift

# Upper Eyelid Ptosis Correction

# Lower Blepharoplasty (Revision)

* Post-operative Progress

1. By securing space between the eyebrows and eyes through the forehead lift, the overall impression looks much brighter and a clear double eyelid line has been formed compared to before surgery. Additionally, as forehead and glabellar wrinkles are smoothed out, the forehead contour becomes softer and more aesthetic.

2. As a result of balancing the eye-opening strength with ptosis correction, symmetry has improved significantly compared to before the surgery. The habit of lifting only the right eyebrow has also been corrected!

3. In lower blepharoplasty, especially in revision cases, the orbicularis oculi muscle suspension must be firmly fixed to prevent ectropion or easy recurrence.

4. Natural results are the most important factor in anti-aging surgery. If the change in impression before and after surgery is too drastic, it can be burdensome and difficult for the patient to adjust to!

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the effects of endoscopic forehead lift?

Endoscopic forehead lift can brighten the impression by securing the space between the eyebrows and eyes, and create a clear double eyelid line. It can also smooth out forehead and frown lines, improving the forehead contour for a softer, more aesthetically pleasing look.

In what cases is ptosis correction surgery necessary?

Ptosis correction surgery is necessary when the eyes open asymmetrically due to weak eye-opening strength, or when there is a habit of raising only one eyebrow. It helps improve the overall impression by balancing the strength of eye-opening.

Why is lower blepharoplasty revision necessary?

Lower blepharoplasty revision is necessary when, after a previous lower blepharoplasty, the under-eye area becomes puffy and wrinkled again over time. It is important to ensure secure orbicularis oculi muscle suspension to prevent ectropion or recurrence.

How can I achieve natural results after middle-aged eye surgery?

For middle-aged eye surgery, natural results are the most important. If the change in impression before and after surgery is too drastic, it can be overwhelming and difficult to adapt to, so it is best to consult sufficiently with an experienced plastic surgeon to create a plan that suits you.

What are the possible side effects after eye surgery?

After eye surgery, complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur. These side effects can vary from person to person, so it is important to consult sufficiently with a specialist before surgery and be aware of the precautions.
