Abstract
The study aimed to evaluate a new method of periorbital rejuvenation in which periorbital
muscle manipulation is utilised. Patients (n = 82) who underwent eyebrow lifting surgery
in Yichang Central People's Hospital were retrospectively included. All the patients
had drooping eyebrows and lateral hooding of the upper eyelids combined with a flat
or depressed outer-upper side of the eyebrow arch. Data were collected on the position
of the eyebrow relative to the eye before and after surgery and the postoperative
satisfaction of patients. The study included 43 patients in the traditional group
and 39 patients in the combined group. The postoperative results showed that the combined
approach group had more aesthetically pleasing mean (SD) ratio of the position of
eyebrows relative to eyes (1.6 ± 0.2 vs 1.7 ± 0.2, p = 0.021). Furthermore, the satisfaction
of the patients in the combined group was significantly higher than that of the traditional
group (37/39 vs 34/43, p = 0.036). The periorbital rejuvenation through the sub-brow
incision, combined with supraorbital orbicularis muscle folding had more aesthetically
pleasing ratio of the position of eyebrows relative to eyes and the satisfaction of
the patients in the combined group was significantly higher.
