Blepharoplasty is one of the most successful aesthetic surgical procedures. Careful preoperative planning and conservative tissue resections can help to minimize complications and optimize results. Although some young patients request blepharoplasty specifically because of age-related changes in the eyelid skin, the surgery is that of sculpture and contouring of the entire aesthetic unit. The aging process in the eyelid complex is characterized by skin texture changes with loss of elasticity and formation of wrinkles, fat redistribution, enophthalmos, and anterior displacement of fat with a lower eyelid orbital fat prolapse. Once the etiology of the deformity and the associated periorbital anatomy are recognized, a local assessment and surgical treatment plan can produce optimal results.

Transtemporal Endoscopic Deep Plane Face Lift.
Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open
January 2025
Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Department, Yeditepe University Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey.
Background: Facial aging involves multifactorial changes affecting the bone, superficial musculoaponeurotic system, fat pads, and skin, primarily manifesting as the downward displacement of these structures. The transtemporal endoscopic deep plane face lift (TEDPF) suggests a vertical lifting method, targeting these issues without a preauricular incision.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 140 patients (133 women and 7 men) 33-67 years of age who underwent TEDPF from February 2020 to March 2023.
Vertical Superior Vector Suspension of the Anterior Mobile Face with the V Plication Facelift: A Volumization and Lifting Technique.
Aesthetic Plast Surg
January 2025
DrK Medical Group, Athens, Greece.
Background: In most of the published plication techniques in face lift surgery, the vectors of plication are not entirely superiorly and vertically directed. The same applies with the deep plane, SMAS elevation techniques in the majority of which the vectors of traction are not superiorly vertically directed. The aging symptoms are mostly prominent at the anterior mobile face due to the gravity effect, and this is the area where attention should be focused to correct these symptoms following a face lift surgery.

Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of a comprehensive surgical approach for rejuvenation of the aging lower periorbita.
Methods: Between February 2018 and January 2023, 80 eyes of 40 patients with lower lid dermatochalasis (LLD), lower lid laxity (LLL) or orbicularis laxity of the lower lid (OL) admitted to the oculoplastic surgery department of our clinic were included in the study. 18 eyes had LLD, 14 eyes had LLL, 18 eyes had LLD and LLL, and 30 eyes had LLD, LLL and OL.
Modified Infrabrow Blepharoplasty for Periorbital Rejuvenation in Asia Women.

Objective: The infrabrow blepharoplasty is a common surgical operation indicated in Asians for periorbital rejuvenation. This operation alone is difficult to achieve the correction of crow's feet. Therefore, the authors elucidate the authors' experiences of applying infrabrow blepharoplasty combined with the subcutaneous undermining of the lateral periorbital region to treat upper eyelid dermatochalasis with lateral hooding deformity and alleviate crow's feet, including its indications, operative procedures, and postoperative outcomes.
