Eyelid surgery work
- Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). The site describes a procedure "most often performed in the office" that redistributes fat bags and removes excess skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. It lists drooping upper lids, puffy bags above and below the eyes, redundant upper eyelid skin and hanging lower lid skin as the problems it corrects, and notes these can interfere with vision. The page states it can add an upper eyelid crease to Asian eyes (source).
- Forehead lift (brow lift). Performed on an outpatient basis. It removes excess skin to correct drooping brows and forehead furrows and tightens upper eyelid skin. Incisions are placed along the frontal hairline or in the hair; a limited incision brow lift with a short scar is offered for the lateral brow. The page states a forehead lift is often combined with blepharoplasty or a facelift (source).
Galleries:
- Eyelid surgery: six before-and-after cases of upper and lower blepharoplasty and lower blepharoplasty, with frontal views (eyelid-surgery gallery).
