If the upper eyelid skin appears saggy in the elderly, it may not only hinder vision but also cause skin diseases such as eczema. Therefore, it is necessary to excise the saggy skin to improve the symptom. Double eyelid blepharoplasty may change the impression by newly forming or altering a double eyelid line. In particular, middle-aged men want to enlarge their eyes by improving the saggy skin, but they do not wish to undergo double eyelid blepharoplasty. Instead, they hope to look natural. Subbrow lifting surgery may leave a wound, so we applied supraciliary approach when the patients did not want subbrow lifting. As a result, we observed desired results, so we report a case of supraciliary approach.
