Under eye loose skin and wrinkles after lower eyelid blepharoplasty

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

This is a question that I answered for someone who had a procedure by another physician.

The loose skin under your eyes can be improved by doing a pinch blepharoplasty technique without increasing your risk of your lower eyelids getting pulled down like a hound dog. This pinch blepharoplasty technique is very simple and can be done in under an hour and usually takes 30 minutes. I wouldn’t be too upset. I’m sure your doctor will be happy to do this for you.

One thing that can help those wrinkles and make you look more natural is too add volume under your lower eyes through dermal fillers or fat injections. This is a more natural way to improve the appearance of your lower eyelids and any sunken cheek type of appearance. This can lift your cheek and help remove the bags under eyes and improve the dark circles under your eyes. This is definitely a great option for this area.

The YoungLift is an amazing procedure that can volumize the lower eyelid area and upper cheek area without incisions, general anesthesia, and many times the long recovery associated with traditional procedures.

Is a browlift or blepharoplasty a better procedure for someone

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

It depends on where your eyebrow sits above your eye. Your eyebrow should sit above your eyelid margin about the size of the width of your iris. So depending on where your eyebrow sits, you will be a better candidate for an eyebrow lift or just an eyelift.

If your eyebrow sits below the distance of the width of your iris, you could benefit from an eyebrow lift. If it sits above this distance, an eyebrow lift could make you look surprised. That distance determines whether you look suprised or maybe more stern-looking or tired-looking.

If you elevate the eyebrow much more than the width of the iris you could have that surprised look. A little more than that distance is okay, but once you start approaching 1 1/2 times the distance of the iris, the suprised look takes on more prominence. After elevating your eyebrows, you are then more able to determine how much skin to take.

Many times volumizing the upper eyebrow area is the best way to rejuvenate the upper eyelid area.  This can be the best option to subtly elevate the eyebrows and volumize the upper eye for the best and most natural results. The YoungLift is a unique and amazing volumizing procedure using a person’s own tissues while avoiding incisions, general anesthesia, and the long recovery most of the time.

Crepey Skin and Hollow Eyes after Blepharoplasty

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

This is a question that I answered for someone who had a procedure by another physician.

Lower eyelid blepharoplasty entails fat removal and skin removal from the lower eyelids. This is part of the reductive philosophy that has dominated surgeons, and plastic surgeons.

An analogy is that of a grape when it loses its volume and turns into a raisin. Based on traditional approaches, a plastic surgeon would take that raisin and remove the skin of the raisin to make it into really just a smaller grape. But based on this analogy, the smaller grape would not look like the grape that it used to. This same idea applies to a person’s face.

A person loses volume as they age. When people have their tissues taken in a reductive manner, they will no longer look the same as they did when they were young. The youthful face looks the way it does because of that volume. A person may look a little better after these reductive type of procedures such as lower eyelid blepharoplasty, but not necessarily better in a younger and natural way.

Volumizing a persons face and turning the face from a raisin back into a more youthful looking grape is the most natural way of making a person look younger in a natural way. What you can do for the sunken appearance is to bring back the volume. Fat injections is the most natural substance to use, and when applied to the lower eyelid and cheek, this procedure can make a person look a lot more natural and younger than lower blepharoplasty.

The YoungLift is agreat way to augment the face, lower eyelid, and upper cheek area by employing a person’s own tissue. The results are natural and people can look younger and still look like themselves.

Enlarged eye after upper and lower blepharoplasty

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

This is a question that regards a patient who had a bigger right eye after n upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty and was wondering if it is due to the surgery and whether it will get better.  This is a question that I answered for someone who had a procedure by another physician. This persons right eye was larger than the left. This can happen with lower eyelid blepharoplasty when this procedure entails taking skin and fat. The skin resection and the scar contracture is what can cause the lower eyelid to retract downwards revealing more eye in that particular eye.  This can take a while to resolve on its own.   Sometimes, steroid injections can help.

In the long run, it may require other procedures to improve the retraction in the skin of the lower eyelid when the scarring occurs after lower eyelid blepharoplasty. This is one reason why I don’t prefer thenullas a procedure and believe in restoring volume to the lower eyelid and cheek region. I also prefer fat injections for this area for a longer lasting effect and more natural looking results. Sometimes this takes up to a year for the tightness to get better and for things to look better. Patience can be a virtue during this transition after a lower eyelid blepharoplasty.

The YoungLift is an amazing procedure that uses a person’s own tissue to volumize the face.  I incorporate my theory of facial aesthetics to volumize the face in a unique way to make people look more younger in a more natural way.

How much is Arcus Marginalis Release and Fat grafting Cost?

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

Arcus Marginalis release is around the same price as null or a little more around $2k-5k.  It depends on what region the surgeon is and the surgeons reputation. There are many ways to price fat grafting some use amount per milliliter or by region but for the lower eyelid and cheek area is around 3-k for fat grafting in the lower eyelid area.

Arcus mariginalis release and fat repositioning for the lower eyelid is a way to improve the appearance of baggy eyelids and fat bags in the lower eyelid. This does improve the uneven levels in the lower eyelid but it doesn’t correct a fundamental thing–a loss of volume. Also, the complications are high with this procedure. You can have problems with your eyelid retracting, the fat often retracts back into the orbit, and the release of the volume of the orbit to the front of the orbital rim can make the upper eyelid more hollow by “stealing” volume from the orbit.  Fillers and fat injections into the lower eyelid region can improve this area in a natural way and is a great and better alternative in my opinion.

The YoungLift is a great way to rejuvenate the lower eyelid and cheek area.  It is done with no incisions, with less recovery than traditional procedures and can be done without general anesthesia.

Excess skin between the eyes

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

This is a question that I answered for someone who had a procedure by another physician.

This extra skin is a consequence of reductive type of surgeries. When you age, you lose volume and this contributes to the extra skin. Upper eyelifts /null take away skin and that usually leaves skin elsewhere. It won’t end. A better way to rejuvenate the upper eyelids is to volumize the whole area. This will require fat grafting and on occassion facial implants.

The extra skin between your eyebrows is a normal part of aging that can be accentuated with reductive type of procedures. This area may need to be filled in to plump up the deflated state. This will fill in some of the wrinkles and excess. There are doctors out there that can think outside of the box to give people a more younger and natural appearance.  null is my exciting technique to volumize the face and its techniques can be used to fill in the area between the eyebrows, the forehead, and the temple area.
