    Background: Early detection of periocular aging is a common concern in cosmetic surgery.Traditional diagnostic and treatment methods often require hospital visits and consultations with plastic surgeons, which are costly and time-consuming. This study aims to develop and evaluate an AI-based decision-making system for periocular cosmetic surgery, utilizing a Hierarchical Attention Transformer (HATrans) model designed for multi-label classification in periocular conditions, allowing for home-based early aging identification.

    Keywords: periocular aging, hierarchical attention transformer (HATrans), AI-based Decisionmaking, multi-label classification, Lower blepharoplasty, double eyelid surgery, epicanthal fold surgery, lateral canthoplast
