What to do about sagging eyelids, eye bags, and tear troughs? The best solutions for signs of aging around the eyes: Endoscopic Forehead Lift, blepharoplasty, and midface lift.
Periocular aging is the first symptom one faces when entering the early stages of aging, and it is believed to be the most noticeable and troublesome for many people.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, with everyone wearing masks and only their eyes and brows exposed, the youthfulness or aging of the eyes became especially important, as the first impression is crucial! But don't think that the beauty of the eyes and brows is only relatively important when wearing a mask. Now that times have changed and the pandemic has eased, with mask-wearing no longer mandatory, many more people are quietly consulting about anti-aging treatments around the eyes. Because with the entire face exposed, the beauty of the eyes and brows is a key visual focus. Let's talk about the symptoms of aging around the eyes and how to address them!
▍Common symptoms of periorbital aging: drooping eyebrows and eyes, sagging skin around the eyes, eye bags, tear troughs, and sagging mid-face skin.
Beware of aging around the eyes revealing your age!
As we age, we lose collagen, and our tissues atrophy, loosen, and lose elasticity, causing our faces to sag. In addition, modern people spend all day staring at mobile phones and computer screens due to work and life demands, which makes it even easier to accelerate the aging process around the eyes!
What symptoms appear around the eyes when aging occurs? We can roughly divide the eyelids into upper and lower sections to explain:
▼Upper eyelid aging▼
Aging area: upper eyelids and eyebrows
Symptoms: sagging forehead, drooping eyebrows, excessive upper eyelid folds, making the eyes appear loose and droopy, causing the original double eyelids to become less noticeable, and making the eyes look smaller, etc.
▼Lower eyelid aging▼
Areas of aging: lower eyelids and mid-face area
Symptoms: The most common are eye bags and tear troughs. In addition, with age, there is often sunken cheekbones and sagging of the mid-face, making people look tired and haggard.

The skin around the eyes is also part of the facial skin. Because the skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate, it is often the first area on the face to develop fine lines, wrinkles, and signs of aging and sagging. If left untreated, the sagging will become more pronounced with age, easily creating a persistent look of fatigue and increasing one's perceived age.
Many people who come for consultation don't actually want drastic overall changes; they just want a firmer, more youthful appearance around their eyes. To achieve this, we can choose the appropriate treatment method based on the different problems with the upper and lower eyelids.
➊Endoscopic Forehead Lift- Tightening and lifting around the eyes:
For the upper face, we can choose Endoscopic Forehead Lift surgery to improve forehead sagging, drooping eyebrows, and wrinkles caused by habitually raising the eyebrows. Through careful dissection and effective fixation of the fascia layer during the procedure, the lifting effect is not limited to above the eyebrows, but can extend to the entire upper eyelid and the temporal area near the cheekbone. This allows the tissues of the upper face to return to their proper position, widening the compressed distance between the eyebrows and eyes, restoring firmness, and making the upper eyelids appear brighter and more relaxed, achieving the goal of upper face rejuvenation. In addition, depending on individual needs, Subbrow incision or double eyelid surgery can be combined for a more refined solution to each person's periocular eye problems.
▲Endoscopic Forehead Lift is a procedure performed using endoscopic instruments, which can effectively magnify the doctor's field of vision. Through minimally invasive incisions, the skin tissue can be deeply dissected to precisely target the upper face for a noticeable overall lift.

➋Eyelid bag and tear trough surgery-Remove sagging eye bags and restore a radiant complexion!
For the lower eyelids, either medial or lateral incision can be used to remove excess eyelid fat. Our current surgical method differs from traditional surgery, effectively shortening the recovery period and reducing the incidence of complications such as ectropion and conjunctival edema. When performing eyelid bag surgery, for individuals with significant excess skin, lateral incision can be considered to remove excess loose skin, tightening the tissue and making the area around the eyes appear more firm.
in addition,Eyelid surgery is often combined with fat grafting to improve tear troughs and mid-face depressions. When the cheeks look smooth and plump, without the unevenness or shadows, one will naturally look younger.

The effects of aging extend beyond the eye area. Severe sagging and aging around the eyes can lead to eye bags, tear troughs, and drooping cheeks. Facial lines such as tear troughs, cheek grooves, crow's feet, and nasolabial folds will also become more pronounced.
