Aesthetic surgery should always enhance your natural gaze, but sometimes, past procedures can disrupt facial harmony. In today’s video, we analyze a specific clinical case: a patient presenting with “scleral show” following a lower blepharoplasty via an external approach performed over ten years ago.
Scleral show is characterized by an unnatural lowering of the lower eyelid line, making the white part of the eye (sclera) visible between the iris and the bottom edge. This condition doesn’t just create a “round” and tired aesthetic; it frequently leads to bothersome functional issues, including excessive tearing and burning sensations.
To correct this condition definitively and naturally, we utilized the MIVEL 1 procedure, an advanced Endoscopic Lifting approach. Operating endoscopically under sedation in a day hospital setting, we precisely repositioned the lower orbicularis muscle and the lateral canthus of the eye.
The results, clearly visible from both front and three-quarter views, show an eye that is not only functionally restored but also aesthetically elongated and sensual, bringing freshness and natural beauty back to the patient’s face.
If you are experiencing similar issues and wish to explore the best options for your specific case, we invite you to schedule a personalized consultation at our clinic.
