The Perfect Gift for Mom! Natural Middle-Aged Eye Surgery :D

* Basic Information

# Female in her late 60s

# Medical History: None

# Current Condition

- Sagging skin on the upper eyelids

- Bulging fat under the eyes creating a tired impression

* 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.

# Caution is required because performing ‘Upper Blepharoplasty alone’ (a method of removing sagging skin while creating a double eyelid crease) can make the puffiness of the upper eyelid more prominent and may result in a harsh-looking double eyelid.

# The plan was to lift the sagging skin from beneath the eyebrows while simultaneously creating very natural-looking hidden double eyelids.

# For the lower eyelids, 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

# Sub-brow Lift

# Partial Incision Double Eyelid Surgery

# Lower Blepharoplasty

* Post-operative Progress

# The sagging was resolved through a sub-brow lift. By lifting the sagging skin and creating hidden double eyelids via partial incision, the patient achieved a naturally youthful look without a drastic change in her overall impression.

# When performing a sub-brow 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 suspension must be firmly secured to prevent complications such as ectropion or easy recurrence.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What surgeries were performed for middle-aged eye plastic surgery?

Yes, in this case, sub-brow lift, partial incision double eyelid surgery, and lower blepharoplasty were performed. Eyelid sagging and under-eye fat problems were simultaneously resolved to create natural-looking eyes.

Can't I just have upper blepharoplasty when my upper eyelids are sagging?

No, if only upper blepharoplasty is performed, the puffiness of the eyelids may become more prominent, or a fierce-looking double eyelid may be created, so caution is needed. In this case, sub-brow lift and partial incision double eyelid surgery were performed concurrently.

What is important during lower blepharoplasty?

Yes, during lower blepharoplasty, it is important to reposition the bulging fat pockets and firmly fix the orbicularis oculi muscle. This is an important process that helps prevent ectropion and ensures the long-lasting effect of the surgery.

How long do the effects of a sub-brow lift last?

To ensure the long-lasting effects of a sub-brow lift, it is important not only to excise the skin but also to prevent re-sagging through periosteal fixation. Through this method, long-term effects can be expected.

Will a natural-looking inner double eyelid be created after surgery?

Yes, in this case, the plan was to lift the sagging skin from under the eyebrows and simultaneously create a very natural-looking inner double eyelid. Through partial incision double eyelid surgery, a naturally younger look was achieved without significant changes in impression.
