Rhinoplasty with Chin Augmentation, Liposuction of neck


 

back to procedures mainview before & after photos

"Bags" under the eyes become quite common as we get older, and are caused by excess skin or fat in the eyelid. Eyelid surgery can remove excess fat and skin, and lighten the underlying muscles as needed. Patients report looking "fresher" and "more alert" after eyelid surgery. Sometimes, what is needed is not eyelid surgery, but a brow lift. A brow lift, which smooths and suspends the forehead, can also eliminate the overhang effect in the upper eye region and improve that droopy, "sad" look.

Before & After: Patient 1
 
Dramatic improvement. This patient complained of constantly being told she looked tired. She underwent an eylelid lift (blepheroplasty) and an endoscopic browlift.


Eyelid Surgery Can Provide That Youthful, Fresh-Faced Look


Q. People comment that I look tired all the time. I suspect it's my eyes. I don't want to change the way I look really. I just want to look rested and energetic. What can I do?

A. If you have bags under your eyes or hooded upper lids, or both, eyelid surgery certainly will take care of those baggy eyelids. The procedure's medical name is "Blepharoplasty". Surgery of the eyelids is still the second most common cosmetic procedure (behind liposuction) with more than 50,000 people in the U.S., choosing to have it performed each year by members of the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons. Excess, baggy eyelid skin or puffy fat in the eyelids are conditions which give a tired look to the entire face and can be readily corrected with eyelid surgery. Some people are born with fat pads in both the lower and upper lids, which become more noticeable with age. They can be removed through a small incision made at the lash line or inside the eyelid. The resulting effect is a fresh-faced look normally achieved by taking a vacation or a long rest, but this result lasts a long time. Some patients find that a browlift accomplishes the lift they require in the upper eye region and the lower eyes can often be improved with Laser Surgery for the bags under the eyes and the crow's feet around the eyes.
