Eyelid surgery work
- Blepharoplasty. The page describes upper eyelid surgery to address thin, crepey and hooded skin and fat bulging, done with local anesthesia numbing injection only and no general anesthesia. Lower eyelid surgery addresses bags, dark circles, wrinkling and the junction between lower eyelid and cheek. The upper lid incision is concealed in the natural crease; the lower lid can be done through a small cut inside the lower eyelid or along the eyelash margin. Both lids can be done under local anesthesia or twilight sedation. The page states an eyelid lift can improve sight when sagging upper lids cause vision problems, and it can be combined with forehead lift, filler and laser resurfacing (blepharoplasty).
- Brow lift. The site describes an endoscopic brow lift through small incisions in the hair-bearing scalp, with telescopes, addressing heavy brows, furrows and temporal hollowing, and a lateral temporal lift for a subtle outer brow lift. Both can be done without general anesthesia. Incisions are closed with absorbable sutures or skin adhesives (source).
