Through in-depth understanding of complex anatomy and aging theory and appropriate surgical strategies according to the type of aging, surgical outcome of aging lower eyelid/midface can be more and more predictable. This article discusses the characteristics and theories of aging and 5 types of lower eyelid/middle face aging based on 4 key factors, namely, protruding fat in the orbital, excess skin on the lower eyelid, sagging midface and soft tissue deflation.
