Subbrow Lift and Lower Blepharoplasty

* Basic Information

# Female in her 50s

# Current Condition

- Habit of raising eyebrows due to sagging skin on the upper eyelids

- Tired appearance caused by bulging fat under the eyes

* 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 if performing ‘Upper Blepharoplasty only’ (a method of removing sagging skin while creating a double eyelid fold), as it can make the puffiness of the upper eyelid more prominent and result in a tacky or fierce-looking double eyelid.

# We decided to address the sagging skin by lifting it from beneath the eyebrows.

# For the under-eye area, it is crucial to reposition the bulging fat pockets and perform orbicularis oculi muscle suspension to prevent ectropion and ensure long-lasting results.

* Plan

# Subbrow Lift

# Lower Blepharoplasty

* Post-operative Progress

# We aimed to resolve the sagging as much as possible through a subbrow lift. After lifting the sagging skin, the hidden double eyelid lines have been revealed!

# When performing a subbrow lift, it is important not just to excise the skin but also 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 performed securely to prevent complications like ectropion or easy recurrence.

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

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