How do I preserve my natural double eyelid crease when undergoing eyelid surgery?


The medical term used to address the excess upper eyelid skin is called Dermatochalasis. This is commonly seen in patients in their 40's onwards when the underlying soft tissue loses volume and the skin loses its elasticity. This causes the skin to hang over the eyelid margin and makes the eyes appear droopy and tired. Blepharoplasty is the surgery performed by most surgeon to remove the excess upper eyelid skin. The traditional blepharoplasty surgery utilizes an incision in the eyelid to remove the excess skin and creating a double eyelid crease. This invariably leaves behind a faint scar on the eyelid after surgery. 

What happens when patients have existing double eyelid crease and wish to preserve their natural crease? In such cases, a surgical approach called infrabrow blepharoplasty can be used to address the excess upper eyelid skin without creating a surgical scar on the eyelid. This way, the natural eyelid crease can be preserved. A faint scar will be seen underneath the eyebrow which can be tattooed over after surgery and the scar will no longer be visible. 

Infrabrow blepharoplasty can be combined with medial epicanthoplasty to increase the vertical and horizontal aperture of the eyes to make it even bigger and brighter!

The scar below the eyebrow and inner corner eyelid is almost invisible 
even only 2 weeks after the surgery.

用于解决过剩上睑皮肤医学术语称为Dermatochalasis。这是常见于患者在他们的40年代开始,当底层的软组织损失量和皮肤失去弹性。这会导致皮肤挂在眼睑缘,使眼睛看起来下垂而疲惫。眼袋是由多数外科医生进行,以除去过量的上眼睑皮肤的手术。传统的眼袋手术利用一个切口在眼睑以除去多余的皮肤和创建双眼皮折痕。这往往会留下淡淡的疤痕在手术后的眼睑。 

当患者有现有的双眼皮折痕,并希望保持其自然折痕,会发生什么?在这种情况下,手术方法称为infrabrow blepharoplasty (提眉手术)可以用来解决多余上睑皮肤不会造成上眼睑手术疤痕。这样一来,自然双眼皮得以保存。一丝淡淡的疤痕会被视为可手术后刺过来,疤痕将不再可见眉毛下方。 

Infrabrow blepharoplasty (提眉手术) 可以与内侧epicanthoplasty (眼角手术)被组合以增加眼睛的纵向和横向的孔,使之甚至更大更亮!
