Cosmetic Lid Surgery and Facial Rejuvenation

Upper facial rejuvenation is a complex area and millimeters of change can make a considerable difference to one’s appearance. Often following elimination of glasses, patients notice their eyelids in terms of shape and form and seek assistance.

Many approaches to rejuvenate the upper face are available from minimally invasive techniques, throught to Botox, skin resurfacing, Blepharoplasty and upper facial and brow lifts.

Blepharoplasty is the name for an entire family of eyelid surgery. Any one operation may include several components designed to restore what time and gravity have taken away and like most surgery needs to be tailored to the individual.

Modern blepharoplasty surgery has expanded well beyond conventional boundaries. Forehead lifts, facelifts, and blepharoplasty have evolved to manage problems that relate to each other. A single procedure may not satisfactorily address the whole and it is important that the evaluation and care is provided by an expert.

As the aging face sags, tissues become weaker and little pockets of fat may move forward. Certain aspects may stand out and bother you more. However, when concerned about the eyelids, other facial features may play a significant role and should be considered. When other facial features are part of the problem, cosmetic eye surgery sometimes is done in part through access from the face. Sometimes facial surgery is partly done through eyelid access.

Eyebrow position is very important when considering the upper lids. As the forehead sags, it affects the upper eyelids. Setting the brow position first helps determine if tissues are redundant and cosmetic eye surgery appropriate.

It is important that you are evaluated and treated by those with expertise in the area of oculoplastics and facial plastic surgery. Expertise involves proper initial training combined with experience in dealing with the tissues of the upper face.

Cosmetic eye surgery of the lids is often a blend of different techniques each designed to manage specific problems.
