Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of upper blepharoplasty via the sub-brow approach for the treatment of upper eyelid dermatochalasis. Subjects and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on patients who underwent upper blepharoplasty via the sub-brow approach from August 2020 to August 2025. Medical records, pre- and postoperative photographs, complications, aesthetic outcomes, and patient satisfaction were collected and analyzed. Results: A total of 85 patients were included, with a mean age of 53.2 ± 8.7 years (range: 32-70 years). All patients were female (100%). The rate of “satisfied” and “very satisfied” patients reached 95.3%. Aesthetic outcomes rated as “much improved” and “very much improved” accounted for 89.4%. No major surgical complications were observed. Conclusion: Upper blepharoplasty via the sub-brow approach is a safe and effective procedure.
