Many people are characterized by a swollen appearance and loose skin of upper eyelids, especially Asians. Retro-orbicularis oculus fat (ROOF) lying in the lateral canthus area is a critical factor of the bulkiness formation.
Although several approaches have been reported, most of them intend to remove orbicularis muscle and preaponeurotic fat through a double-eyelid incision, leaving ROOF untreated.
Consequently, an unnatural eyelid fold is formed and the lateral supraorbital region remains bloated .
Sixty-seven patients underwent sub-brow skin excision combined with ROOF resection.
The key point was to excise the loose skin and thick ROOF through an incision along with the lower 1/3 of the eyebrow.
Surgical outcomes were evaluated 6 months postoperatively by the heights of the designed line from the palpebral margin to the pupil center (HPPC), medial cornea (HPMC), and lateral canthus (HPLC).
The pinch test, photographs, and complications were also recorded.
