Are my asymmetrical eyes from bone structure or the hooded right eye?
Hooded eyelids and weight loss
Dec 3, 2020
Dec 3, 2020
Thanks for sharing your photos.
In one photo the droopy hooded eyelids are evident and in the next one they are not ( probably the smile has influenced the appearance)
You should consult with a plastic surgeon as an in person examination is necessary to determine the cause and the right options. Weight loss does not influence the position of the eyelids
Kind regards

Why is a fat transfer recommended for doing my lower blepharoplasty? And what will happe
Fat transfer and lower blepharoplasty
Aug 24, 2019
Aug 24, 2019
Thanks for your question.Fat transfer does not prevent an ectropion. Fat transfer enhances the volume of your cheek and indirectly supports the lower eyelid. It is an important adjunct and if indicated, best performed at the time of surgery. The reason there is so much mixed info, is because of the simple fact that not all fat that is injected will survive. So have a discussion with your surgeon.Best
Can I have a labiaplasty on blood thinners and a history of PE?
Blood thinners and Labiaplasty
Aug 22, 2019
Aug 22, 2019
Yes you can. The critical thing is to time it right1. Your Haematologist or the Doctor treating your Factor V, should liaise with your plastic surgeon to decide the right time for youBest
Is it worth me getting upper surgery, my lower seem to be more of a problem but three do
Is it worth getting upper eyelid surgery
Aug 20, 2019
Aug 20, 2019
Upper eyelid you have mild ptosis – so if you have ptosis correction and blepharoplasty your eyes will ‘open up ‘ a bit more.Lower eyelid- small amount of skin excess is visible, but the underlying problem is loss of volume. Well performed FILLER injection can help. Hope this helpsNaveen
Lower blepharoplasty advice from the various opinions?
Lower blepharoplasty advice from the various opinions? (photos)
May 31, 2018
May 31, 2018
You have features suggestive of significant volume loss of your cheek bone. So the primary goal is to replace the lost volume and correct the imbalance. Because, loss of cheek bony volume results in loss of lower eyelid support. Because of this you would be considered high risk for PBLR ( post blepharoplasty lid retraction). Fillers alone ( you would need a large volume). If you are having surgery, then fat grafting would be a good idea along with a mid face suspension/liftBest wishes
Can I be a C size if I have a curvy body and I’m short?
Can I be a C size if I have a curvy body and I’m short?
May 20, 2018
May 20, 2018
You can reduce the breast to any size you want to, but most Plastic Surgeons will offer you a reduction that is proportional and hence natural looking. If you have a ‘Big’ reduction, there is a technical risk of compromising the blood supply to the nipple, hence the PS will use this argument to minimise your risk. If it helps, you should get a second opinion, as one can give you advice only after a clinical examinationBest
Can you use less Botox to just weaken muscle instead of completely paralyzing it?
Can you use less Botox to just weaken muscle instead of completely paralyzing it?
May 15, 2018
May 15, 2018
Yes it is possible to use a smaller dose to weaken the muscle than a larger dose to paralyse the muscle. Some patients actually prefer this approach as it softens the lookBest wishes
