Bird Beak Upper Blepharoplasty for Lateral Hooding Correction and Periorbital Volume Preservation

Dermatochalasis is a physiological condition clinically characterized by sagging of the upper eyelids. It is typically bilateral and most often seen in patients over 50 years of age. In cases where the eyebrow remains in a stable anatomic position (no true ptosis), lateral hooding is often due to pseudo-ptosis from extreme skin redundancy. Bird Beak incision provides a specific vector for redistributing this descended volume, effectively restoring the anatomic boundary between the forehead and the eyelid. It acts as a targeted tension vector that corrects the skin-driven hooding while preserving the stable underlying anatomy.
