Answer Snippet
Lower blepharoplasty with only oral sedation – bad idea?
Sedation
Sep 26, 2020
I have done 1000’s of eyelid operations over the last 40 years. My first choice now is a “light” general anesthesia. This does add some additional expense, but patients experience NO pain and are always happy they paid the extra money. In my pre-op consultation, I discuss the options with the patient, and together we make a decision. If patients exhibit “anxiety”, or have a history of claustrophobia, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, neck or other body pains/issues such as lying still on…
Second blepharoplasty after 9 years. Could it be correct? First one left rounder and hollowed
2nd upper eyelid Blepharoplasty
Sep 26, 2020
Without a photo it is difficult to comment. My advise, make an appointment for a eyelid consultation, bringing with you photos that were taken prior to the first operation. In general, a 2nd blepharoplasty can be done by a well experienced eyelid surgeon, and many times issues which a patient has with the results from the first operation can be corrected during the 2nd operation. Pre-op photos from before the first surgery are essential.
How can I fix my eye asymmetry?
Eyelid/brow issues
Sep 26, 2020
Your brows are fairly symmetric. The upper eyelids are a little “different”. It looks like removing a small amount of skin from your right upper eyelid should make you happy. Your eyes are somewhat “prominent”, however, be happy with this as someone in the family tree has a similar look and should embrace it as “that’s me”.
Would infraorbital implants improve the eye/cheek junction?
Eyelid/cheek junction
Sep 26, 2020
I really need to see a photo. There are surgical procedures which are designed to correct and normalize the junction of the eyelids and cheek. Fillers and implants are not as safe for correction in such cases, but do play a roll.
Extremely noticeable and disfiguring eye asymmetry. Can nothing be done?
Facial asymmetry
Sep 26, 2020
Your issues can be corrected by surgically getting your eyebrows to the same height. At present, your right eyebrow is high compared to the left one. In such cases, your face and eyelids will not look the same. Good news, this can be corrected by forehead/brow surgery. There may also need to be after the aforementioned surgery, a upper eyelid “touchup”.
Can eyelid surgery fix asymmetrical eyelids that don’t have an underlying cause?
Symmerty
Sep 26, 2020
In this case, easy fix. Your brow position is symmetric, a good thing. More skin needs to be carefully removed from your right upper eyelid and you will be symmetric and happy with the result.
Upper eyelid surgery, eye asymmetry, I look angry. What can I do?
Facial symmetry
Sep 26, 2020
Without a photo it is difficult to ascertain your issue. People are often not symmetrical and cannot always be “made” symmetrical with surgery. In my pre-operative consult I always point out any asymmetry if it exists. I show them a photo of same or have them look in a mirror or bring in an old photo. Often patients are not aware of asymmetry until I point out the finding. If it can be corrected during an operation, I will make an attempt to correct this during the upcoming procedure. It is…
