Eyelid surgery work
The eyelid surgery page describes blepharoplasty as removal of excess skin, and sometimes fat, from the upper and lower eyelids to treat upper lid hooding and lower lid puffiness. It names age and allergies as common causes of excess eyelid skin (source).
- Incisions are hidden in the lines and creases of the eyelids.
- The operation takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on whether upper and lower lids are done together.
- Ptosis, or droopiness of the upper eyelid, is treated separately by tightening the muscles and tissues of the upper eyelid; the page names age, trauma and congenital causes.
- Eyelid surgery is often combined with a facelift, neck lift or CO2 laser treatment.
The brow lift page describes a limited-incision brow lift, with small incisions behind the hairline to lift the outer brow, and a coronal brow lift with a longer incision when the whole brow needs lifting. It is outpatient when done alone, with an overnight stay suggested when combined with other facial surgery (source). He operates at Northwest Hospital in Randallstown and the SurgiCenter of Baltimore in Owings Mills.
The eyelid gallery shows four women aged 52 to 68 after eyelid lift or upper blepharoplasty, each at 1 year (source). The brow lift gallery shows cases combining brow lift with upper and lower blepharoplasty or facelift, at 12 months (source).
