Thursday, December 31st, 2009

The process of aging will likely cause unwanted changes to a person’s expressions, causing them to look permanently fatigued or even older than they really are. These appearance changes will likely cause some emotional distress and sometimes even a vision impairment. A blepharoplasty is created to restore a much more youthful appearance to a person’s eyes. A cosmetic eyelid procedure can involve either the upper or lower eyelids and sometimes it will involve both.

The Aging Process Can Cause Unwanted Changes In Your Expression That A Cosmetic Surgeon Can Fix With An Eyelid Lift

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

An eyelid lift (eye surgery), technically known as blepharoplasty, focuses on the human eyes. The eyes occupy an extremely prominent part of the facial features that a person has. It is however the surrounding skin of the eyes, rather than the eyes themselves, that convey emotion. The muscle, fat, tissue, hair, and lashes all contribute to a very wide array of expressions. Sun exposure, heredity, and age are all factors that contribute to deep fine lines, wrinkles, and puffiness around the eyes.

A procedure on the upper and lower eyelids to remove excess skin and fat, the goal of blepharoplasty, or eyelid lift surgery, is to restore a more youthful appearance to the face. Blepharoplasty is one of the most commonly performed plastic surgeries, and the results can be long-lived.

I was looking up information about having an eyelid lift in Salt Lake City, Utah, and found Doctor Louis Morales. The eyes are one of the first places we start to show our age, and it’s interesting to see the difference such a small correction can make in a face. In cases where the upper eyelid has grown particularly baggy, it can droop right over the eye and obscure vision, and blepharoplasty can solve that as well.

Blepharoplasty: The Surgery

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

Typically the incisions follow the natural lines of your eyelids; in the creases of your upper lids, and just below the lashes in the lower lids. The eyelid surgery incisions may extend into the crow’s feet or laugh lines at the outer corners of your eyes. Working through these incisions, the surgeon separates the skin from underlying fatty tissue and muscle, removes excess fat, and often trims sagging skin and muscle. The incisions are then closed with very fine sutures.

If you’re considering a forehead lift, this brochure will provide a basic understanding of the procedure — when it can help, how it’s performed and what results you can expect. It won’t answer all of your questions, since a lot depends on your individual circumstances. Be sure to ask your doctor if there is anything you don’t understand about the procedure.

A forehead lift is most commonly performed in the 40-60 age range to minimize the visible effects of aging. However, it can also help people of any age who have developed furrows or frown lines due to stress or muscle activity. Individuals with inherited conditions, such as a low, heavy brow or furrowed lines above the nose can achieve a more alert and refreshed look with this procedure.

Forehead lift is often performed in conjunction with a facelift to provide a smoother overall look to the face. Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) may also be performed at the same time as a forehead lift, especially if a patient has significant skin overhang in the upper eyelids. Sometimes, patients who believe they need upper-eyelid surgery find that a forehead lift better meets their surgical goals.

Patients who are bald, who have a receding hairline, or who have had previous upper-eyelid surgery may still be good candidates for forehead lift. The surgeon will simply alter the incision location or perform a more conservative operation.

Remember, a forehead lift can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it won’t necessarily change your looks to match your ideal or cause other people to treat you differently. Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them in detail with your doctor.

Oftentimes patients complain that they appear more tired than they feel. Sometimes fat is repositioned from the lower eyelid into the deep tear troughs or the deep depressions that exist at the bottom of the lower eyelids. The incisions are easily hidden below the eyelashes of the lower eyelids and sometimes performed with no incision on the lower eyelid whatsoever, called a transconjunctival blepharoplasty. The upper eyelid incision is hidden very well back within the deep crease that is seen when the eye is shut, but retracts back when the eyelid is open. Many times eyelid surgery is performed at the same time as a face lift or a brow lift.
