Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty isn’t just about removing extra skin or under-eye bags. I look at the whole eye area because aging affects it in many ways—like bone loss around the eye, loss of fat in the brows, cheeks, and temples, drooping brows, bulging fat, weak eyelid muscles, and the outer corners of the eyes becoming more rounded. Fixing one issue without treating another will yield an unharmonious result.

Blepharoplasty is one of the most appreciated plastic surgery procedures. And there are some good reasons to justify that!

  • Practically invisible scars (very thin skin and some creative scar camouflage)

  • A discernible feel good youthful look

  • Corrects upper and lower eyelids, eyebrow position and shape and cheek volume when associated with a temporal brow lift and fat grafting.

Upper Blepharoplasty

  • Removes excess upper lid skin and redefines crease.

  • Removes excess fat (internally in the majority of cases) and repositions it in the cases of centrally deflated eyelids. Sometimes this fat can be transposed in case of hollowness (A-frame deformity).

  • Pulls up lid margin (in the case of a eyelid ptosis).

  • Repositions the eye axis (foxy eyes).

  • Almost always associated with a brow fat grafting

Lower Blepharoplasty

  • Removes excess lower lid skin (usually minor).

  • Removes and repositions excess fat through the lower blepharoplasty insicions.

  • Transposes fat into the tear trough deformity (Transposition blepharoplasty) in case of herniated fat pockets or fat grafting.

  • Repositions the eye axis with a canthopexy (foxy eyes).

Deep Temporal Brow Lift

  • Repositions tail of the brow (less action on other parts of the brow), by tensioning the deep layer rather than the skin so the results are longer lasting and do not pull on the skin. Normally only the tail needs lifting as there are no muscles that lift the brow in its outer third.

  • The incision is made in temporal hairline and heals incredibly well.

  • Can be done in isolation or associated with a blepharoplasty fat transfer to the sunken temples or cheeks.

  • Stable results at 5 years.
