This study examines the perceptual response to periorbital aging before and after brow lift and upper blepharoplasty surgery. The surgical intervention increases attention to the eye and brow region while decreasing attention to the forehead and lower eyelid areas. It also improves the perception of character attributes.
Background: The perceptual response to aging changes in the periorbital region and the effects of surgical rejuvenation on that response have not been elucidated. The authors examined the reflexive visual response to periorbital aging before and after brow lift and upper blepharoplasty surgery and investigated how observers' character attributions of the images were affected by the rejuvenative intervention. Methods: Preoperative and postoperative photographs were obtained of patients with brow ptosis and dermatochalasis who underwent brow lift and blepharoplasty. Forty observers examined each image while an infrared eyetracking camera continuously recorded their eye movements. The observers rated the images with respect to character attributes (attractiveness, trustworthiness, sociability, healthiness, and capability) on a scale of one to seven. Results: Fourteen patients who underwent brow lift and blepharoplasty were identified and studied. The surgical intervention was found to increase observers' attention to the eye and brow region, while decreasing relative attention to the forehead and lower eyelid areas; increase the two-dimensional surface area of the forehead and eye and brow zones in a manner directly associated with the measured changes in visual attention; and significantly increase the ratings for all five positively valanced character attributes compared with preoperative controls. Conclusions: The authors provide an important combination of explicit and implicit data illustrating how surgical rejuvenation unveils the periorbital region to the observer. This change in pattern of inspection was associated with an improvement in the perception of character.
