Periorbital aging refers to the age-related changes that occur around the eyes. These changes often appear simultaneously and may include droopy upper eyelid, eyebags, hollowing of the upper eyelids, and prominent tear troughs. Addressing these concerns requires a combination of treatments to restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance. However, the results should look natural and not overdone.

Common options include surgical procedures such as upper blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) and lower blepharoplasty (eyebag removal), as well as non-surgical treatments like fat grafting, dermal fillers, and laser therapy.

In the Before photo, the patient exhibits bilateral droopy upper eyelids (red arrow), sunken upper eyelids (yellow arrow), eyebags (blue arrow) and prominent tear troughs (black arrow). She underwent a combined upper and lower blepharoplasty with fat grafting to address these concerns. The After photo, taken postoperatively, reveals a significant improvement in the periorbital region while maintaining a natural, balanced appearance.

Alar retraction, also referred to as alar notching, is a condition in which the outer margin of the nostril (alar rim) is pulled upwards, resulting in a raised and angular appearance of the alar rim and excessively exposed nostrils. This condition can be either congenital or acquired. Acquired causes of alar retraction typically stem from scarring due to trauma, infection, or previous nasal surgeries.

Filler injections are typically ineffective in correcting alar retraction due to the need for strong structural support in the corrected alar rim. In these instances, a composite graft composed of skin, cartilage, and perichondrium harvested from the ear is a recommended solution. This type of graft offers superior structural support and skin coverage around the alar rim, ensuring the desired shape is maintained and preventing further retraction.

In Photo A, we see a patient exhibiting bilateral alar retraction, with pulled-up and angular alar rim and excessively exposed nostrils. The dotted line outlines the angulated shape of the alar rim.
In Photo B, we observe the same patient post-correction of alar retraction with a composite graft. The dotted line now illustrates the smooth outline of the alar rim, with the issue of nostril over-exposure successfully addressed.

Abdomen laxity is a common condition that occurs in middle-aged women and men. This condition usually manifests as saggy skin, excess fat deposit and weakening of the abdominal muscles. The abdomen appears round and protruding, with saggy skin hanging down like an apron down the tummy. In severe cases, diastasis recti may occur in which the abdomen muscles in the midline separate from one another, causing a gap and bulging in the centre of the abdomen when the person is straining. The most effective way to treat these conditions is an abdominoplasty (aka tummy tuck). Not only the excess skin and fat can be removed, the weakened and separated abdomen muscles in diastasis recti can also be repaired and tightened at the same time. The result is an abdomen that is flat, tight and slim.

The blue arrows in the before photos show the gap and protrusion of the tummy caused by diastasis recti. The after photos show the excess wrinkled skin and fat were removed and the diastasis recti corrected. The tummy becomes flat, tight and slim again.

Alarplasty is a minor surgery to reshape and to narrow the size of the nostrils. In alarplasty, an incision is made along the alar base, which is the area where the nostril meets the cheek, and a small amount of skin is removed from the base of the wing of the nose (also known as ala of the nose). After the nostril has achieved the desired shape, the incision is carefully closed with sutures to ensure minimal scarring. The main aim of an alarplasty is to make the nostril narrower and the nose slimmer, improving the overall aesthetics of the nose.

The incision technique in double eyelid surgery is a versatile technique. In addition to create double eyelid, this technique also can be employed to correct various eyelid conditions such as to remove excess skin and fat, and to adjust and correct internal structures of the eyelid. Incision technique usually provides longer-lasting results compared to suture technique. Incision technique is the treatment of choice for conditions such as thick and droopy eyelid (photos) and complicated eyelid anatomy.

In an attractive double eyelid, the crease should be easily visible and looks natural, but not too high to avoid an artificial appearance. Eyelid anatomy is highly variable among different people so each case needs careful preoperative assessment and planning to obtain desirable and lasting results.

Thighs is one of the most common areas treated by liposuction. Fat deposits in the inner and outer thighs are the commonest indications for thigh liposuction but fat in the front and back of the thigh and around the knee may need to be removed as well. The use of correct technique and attention to details are essential to ensure patient safety and satisfactory results. During liposuction, small openings are made on the skin for tumescent injection to control pain and bleeding and for the insertion of cannula to remove fat. While it is important to remove enough amount of fat to achieve desirable shape and satisfactory results, over-correction is to be avoided to prevent surface and contour irregularities. Proper post-operative care and the stringent use of compression garment are essential to ensure a speedy recovery and satisfactory results.
