Background: Sunken eyes have become a most important target of periorbital area aesthetics. Throughout history, the aesthetics of the periorbital region have been emphasized, and various surgical techniques related to this region have been described. Most of these techniques provide only soft tissue solutions; therefore, additional surgical interventions may be required. The aim of our study was to introduce an endoscopic supraorbital shaving (SOS) technique for the treatment of individuals with sunken eyes.
Methods: Between 2020 and 2021, 34 patients (30 females, 4 males; mean age 36.2 years) with sunken eyes were treated with our described technique. All patients underwent an endoscopic SOS procedure under general anesthesia.
Results: A total of 34 patients (30 women and four men), aged 23-59 years old (mean = 36.2 years), underwent the endoscopic SOS procedure. The mean follow-up period was 13 months (range: 12-16 months). Postoperatively, significant improvement in lateral convexity was achieved in all patients. Physical examinations performed at the control visits revealed no functional problems in any patients and no visible or palpable irregularities or contour deformities. No complications were encountered regarding the SOS procedure.
Conclusions: The technique described here provides significant improvement in lateral convexity compared to other techniques used in patients with sunken eyes. No additional eyelid intervention is needed. Unlike the techniques previously described in the literature, intervention is made in the bone structure, thereby providing more accurate results.

Yuebi Plus Banxia Decoction is derived from the Synopsis of the Golden Chamber(Jin Gui Yao Lue) by ZHANG Zhong-jing. With the effects of ventilating lung, discharging heat, descending adverse Qi, and relieving cough and asthma, this prescription is mainly used to treat pulmonary distension caused by phlegm heat obstructing the lungs. Currently, it is commonly used in clinical practice for the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute bronchitis, pneumonia, bronchial asthma, pulmonary heart disease, and pertussis.

Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on rejuvenating the appearance of aging Asian women by combining techniques to treat both sagging upper eyelids (dermatochalasis) and sunken eyelids. //! -
- A total of 45 patients underwent sub-brow blepharoplasty with fat grafting to improve eyelid aesthetics, with assessments showing significant improvements in both depth and volume of eyelid depressions at 3 and 6 months post-surgery. //! -
- The results indicate that traditional blepharoplasty alone is not enough for sunken eyelids, and this new technique successfully enhances overall facial rejuvenation by addressing multiple concerns at once. //!

Article Synopsis
- Enophthalmia, characterized by abnormally sunken eyeballs and associated eyelid issues, poses both functional and aesthetic challenges for patients, leading to a demand for improved surgical techniques to rejuvenate the periorbital area.
- The study introduces a modified transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty (TCLB) that incorporates additional de-flaming and decompression maneuvers, resulting in enhanced eye-opening capabilities and a reduction of visible symptoms in both upper and lower eyelids.
- After analyzing the results from 40 patients, statistical data indicated significant improvement in palpebral fissure height (PFH), confirming that the modified TCLB led to more effective surgical outcomes compared to traditional methods.
