Background: Narrowing of the distance between the eyes and eyebrows is commonly observed after subbrow blepharoplasty. The purpose of this study was to quantify the changes in brow-lid distance after subbrow blepharoplasty in Asian women.
Methods: We observed and standardized the pre- and postoperative photographs of 63 patients who underwent subbrow blepharoplasty from January 2020 to October 2022. We measured the distances from the medial and lateral eyebrow to the lower lid margin on the right side of the face and then analyzed the changes in postoperative brow-lid distance using the standard iris diameter for Asian women of 11.5 mm as a reference.
Results: Photographs of 63 patients were included in the study. All 63 patients were females. The average postoperative distance of the lateral eyebrow to the lower lid margin was 30.08 ± 2.74 mm, a significant decrease in comparison to the preoperative distance (31.84 ± 2.65 mm) (P < 0.001). The mean postoperative distance of the medial eyebrow to the lower lid margin was 25.84 ± 2.87 mm, compared with that of the preoperative distance (27.59 ± 2.94 mm), which was a significant decrease (P<0.001). All 63 patients (100%) had a decrease in the lateral eyebrow distance, while 59 (93.65%) had a decreased medial eyebrow distance.
Conclusions: There was a statistically significant change in brow position, consistent with our observations. Subbrow blepharoplasty can cause a decrease in the distance between the eyebrows and eyes.

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
- The study focuses on rejuvenating the periorbital area for aging Asians, particularly women, using an extended subbrow single-incision approach to improve severe upper eyelid dermatochalasis.
- Surgical outcomes were evaluated by measuring eyelid heights and assessing patient and surgeon satisfaction scores, showing significant improvements post-operation with no major complications.
- The modified technique was found to be effective and safe, offering good cosmetic results for patients with severe skin laxity.
Long-Term Effects of Extended Upper Blepharoplasty Combined With Subbrow Skin Removal for Correction of Lateral Hooding in Asian Women.

Upper eyelid aging with lateral hooding is common among Asian women older than 40 years. Since Asians tend to develop more visible scars than White people, we used an extended upper blepharoplasty technique to correct lateral hooding and conceal the scar, combined with the removal of the thick subbrow skin for women over 60 years of age, to achieve a stable, improved outcome. An extended cutaneous scalpel-shaped excision was designed and hid the extended part of the excision in the patient's upward crow's feet to address the redundant skin of lateral hooding.

Introduction: Contemporary incisions used to access the frontozygomatic (FZ) sutures are the lateral brow and upper blepharoplasty incisions which are associated with specific limitations and complications. The authors describe the use of sub-brow incision as an alternate approach for exposure of the FZ region.
Methods: This is a prospective cohort study involving patients requiring surgical management of zygomatico maxillary complex (ZMC) fractures with fixation at FZ suture alone or along with fixation at infra-orbital rim and/or zygomaticomaxillary buttress.
