Open Your Eyes To What Is Possible With Plastic Surgery
Eye Lid Surgery
Eyelid surgery, technically referred to as blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure that rejuvenates the upper and/or lower eyelids. As we age, the skin around our eyes loses elasticity, leading to sagging eyelids and puffy bags beneath the eyes. Eyelid surgery can effectively address these concerns by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle, resulting in a more rejuvenated and alert appearance. Besides cosmetic benefits, blepharoplasty can also improve vision in cases where drooping eyelids obstruct the field of vision.
The procedure itself is relatively straightforward and usually performed on an outpatient basis. Depending on the specific concerns, the surgeon will create precise incisions along the natural creases of the eyelids, ensuring minimal scarring. Excess skin, fat, and muscle are then carefully removed or repositioned to achieve a balanced and natural-looking result. The recovery period for eyelid surgery is typically short, with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Brow Lift
Brow lifts, also known as forehead lifts, focus on elevating the position of the eyebrows and smoothing out forehead wrinkles. As we age, the brow area can become furrowed, resulting in a tired or angry appearance. A brow lift can correct this by repositioning the brow muscles and tissues, creating a more youthful and relaxed look. This procedure can be performed through various techniques, including traditional surgery, endoscopic surgery, and temporal brow lifts, depending on the individual's needs.
Like eyelid surgery, brow lifts are typically performed on an outpatient basis. The surgeon will make small incisions hidden within the hairline or the natural creases of the forehead. Through these incisions, the underlying tissues are adjusted, excess skin is removed, and the brow is lifted to a more desirable position. The recovery process for brow lifts is relatively quick, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort and able to resume their normal activities within a week or two.
