Eyelid surgery work
- Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). The page describes removal or repositioning of excess skin, muscle and fat from the upper and lower eyelids. Upper eyelid incisions are made in the natural eyelid crease. Lower eyelid incisions are made just below the lash line or inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival approach). Fat is removed or repositioned to treat puffiness and under-eye bags. Anesthesia is local with sedation or general (source).
- The page states eyelid surgery can improve vision blocked by sagging upper eyelid skin and is often combined with brow lift or facelift.
- Brow lift. Three approaches are listed: endoscopic (small incisions in the hairline), coronal (incision across the top of the scalp) and temporal (incisions at the temples to lift the outer brow) (source).
- Canthoplasty and canthopexy. Offered within The FoxEye Package to reposition the outer eye corner; canthoplasty reconstructs the lateral canthal tendon and canthopexy is described as a more conservative repositioning. The page states patients with significant upper eyelid ptosis are advised toward upper blepharoplasty or ptosis repair (source).
