My eyes are dry since my eyelid surgery. Is there any help?

Dry eye after a recent eyelid surgery is not necessarily cause for alarm, but certainly something you and your doctor should monitor together and take steps to relieve. Eyelid surgery is a complex procedure that has many rewards and is considered very safe, yet it’s not without risk. This is the case of every medical treatment or surgery. It is likely that your surgeon discussed with you the possibility of dry eye and included this among the possible issues after surgery in your surgery consent. Hearing about it pre-surgically and experiencing post-surgically are two very different realities.

At the beginning of your post-operative healing, dry eyes, swelling, and lids not closing properly are common experiences, but usually these are temporary and naturally resolve as the swelling goes down and you heal. Think of your eyelids as windshield wipers that move tears over the eye surface. With surgery, the eyelids swell and function less well as tear movers contributing to dry eye sensation. The swelling generally subside sufficiently in the ten days after surgery to make a noticeable difference in eye comfort. However, swelling is not the only reason the eyelids may not function well. Certain eyelid surgeries actually injure the motor nerves to the orbicularis oculi muscle close to the eyelid margin. These injuries can be temporary or permanent and also effect how well the eyelids move tears over the eye surface. It seems that some of these injuries do get better with time but some persist and can permanently contribute to dry eye. Symptoms that persist longer than 6 months tend to be permanent. Because of this, we can think of post-operative experiences as immediate (within the first six months) and long-term (thereafter).

The way to address a concern over dry eyes depends on when you are experiencing this issue, and the actual basis for the symptoms. This means that a detailed eye exam by a board certified ophthalmologist is needed to assess these symptoms. Normal post-operative dryness can usually be helped with over-the-counter eye drops. We also strongly recommend you talk to your surgeon openly about your healing process and remain in regular communication. Dr. Steinsapir closely follows his patients to monitor their progress, answer questions, and be available to address any complication in the unlikely case that they arise. As we said, no surgery is without risk, and a surgery can tip a compensated dry eye. For this reason, Dr. Steinsapir recommends that eyes be thoroughly assessed before surgery to look for evidence of dry eye. Knowledge of the dry eye status before surgery should influence the surgeon to perform more conservative eyelid surgery, prompt a referral to a cornea specialist when needed prior to surgery, and in rare cases, recommend against eyelid surgery in the most severe cases.

In communicating with your surgeon, if artificial eye drops do not seem adequate, he or she may prescribe ophthalmic ointment before bed. In some cases, tear drains can be temporarily closed to improve symptoms. If these do not work, there are additional mechanical treatment options such as taping of the eyelids at night or swimming goggles at night in the most extreme cases. Long term when these measures do not provide sufficient relief, careful assessment for eyelid reconstruction may be indicated. The solution will depend upon your symptom severity, and the timing and precise anatomic cause of the problem. A range of options are available to improve eyelid closure with blink, which helps spread tears over the surface of the cornea and contributes to eye comfort.

If you wish to seek a second opinion, Dr. Steinsapir is available to assess your particular situation. He provides compassionate care whether you live locally or find it necessary to fly to Los Angeles for his assessment and input. He regularly helps individuals who require reconstructive surgery and corrections, and he is also thoroughly knowledgable on what to expect as part of the normal healing process. Your reconstructive surgery, when necessary, can be performed in his state of the art office based surgery center or on an outpatient basis at the Ronald Regan UCLA Medical Center, where is on staff. We invite you to call us today to schedule a time to discuss your particular concerns and options.

Should I have a mid face lift?

Overview

The mid face lift or midface surgery improves the cheek (think of this as the triangular region on each side from the nose to the side of the face and below the lower eyelid margin to the upper lip) — by correcting the descent of the malar fat pad.  This falling tissue often accompanies aging and creates a hollow under eye, deepens the nasolabial fold and the jowl at the jaw line.  This change robs the face of its youthful shape.

The midface lift is a procedure that yields a more youthful appearance by smoothing the lower eyelids and cheeks, bringing back a natural fullness to these areas associated with strong cheek-bones in men and women and provides the shape associated with a heart shaped face in women

Indications

Over time our skin tends to lose its elasticity, while the ligaments of the cheeks and eyelids begin to weaken, contributing to a tired and worn-out look.  If this is the case for you, you may benefit from a midface lift.

A midface lift is usually indicated when a complete facelift is unnecessary (due to lack of  more pronounced concerns such as the “neck cord”); yet facial fillers are not sufficient to treat the root of the problem because of a loss of soft tissue from prior surgery, or because of a significant deficiency in bone projection.  Dr. Steinsapir always prefers noninvasive treatment methods when possible, yet in circumstances wherein a filler is inadequate, a midface lift can be extremely helpful surgical alternative.

Expertise

Among the key pioneers of the midface surgery–a relatively new frontier in plastic surgery–Dr. Steinsapir often trains other surgeons in this procedure and lectures extensively.  The midface surgery has emerged over the last fifteen years, making it an area of rapid progress.  This also means that choosing an experienced specialist is critically important for optimal results.  As a leader in the field, Dr. Steinsapir offers a midface lift with hand carved ePTFE orbital rim implants, which have been broadly applauded and often used in corrective and reconstructive surgeries after an unsatisfactory procedure.  Dr. Steinsapir’s extensive experience and training offer proven solutions with the midface lift that are hard to come by.  Please call us today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Steinsapir, where you can discuss your aesthetic goals and learn about options for improving your midface.

Asian eyelid surgery is not about Westernizing the eyes!

We’ve said this before, but it’s worth repeating: Asian eyelid surgery is not about westernizing the eyes.  In fact, there is no one standard approach to Asian eyelid surgeries such as blepharoplasty and double fold surgery, because there are no two people with identical sets of eyes.  When we refer to “Asian eyelid surgery,” what we mean is that certain features more common in the shape and contours of Asian eyelids must be uniquely considered and comprehensively understood by an experienced oculofacial surgeon for optimal results.

All kinds of individuals seek cosmetic eyelid surgery in the form of blepharoplasty, lidlift, reconstructive surgery, double fold surgery, and other procedures designed to enhance the appearance and functionality of the human eyelid.  Eyelid surgery is about improving your natural eyelid structure in a way that compliments your natural appearance.  The end result is a bright appearance that seems fitting for you and does not look “surgical” or “westernized” at all.

Your specialized oculofacial surgeon’s attention to Asian eyelid surgery in fact means the opposite of westernization: your treatment should not be a cookie-cutter “one size fits all” approach, but rather one that takes your natural eyelid shape into account and seeks to enhance it rather than transform it.  While Asian eyelid surgery does not aim to “westernize” one’s features, it calls for exacting and meticulous attention to detail, as well as experience with proven results.  A common error that Dr. Steinsapir is often consulted for to provide a correction is double folds that are made too high.  In almost all cases this is caused by a surgeon who fundamentally does not understand the surgery.  The surgeon may be inexperienced or simply lack the necessary grasp of what is required to make a natural double fold.  Sometimes the inexperienced surgeon is simply following the wrong textbook and intentionally makes the crease incision too high as a result.  Asian eyelid creases need to be place low in order to create an natural appearing double fold.

We invite you to look through Dr. Steinsapir’s unretouched before and after photos of various Asian eyelid surgeries.  You can judge for yourself, but we believe you’ll find the results to all be very natural and fitting for the individual.  The key to Dr. Steinsapir’s success is years of experience in eyelid surgery that includes Asian eyelid surgery as a specialization, with multi-fellowship training, prestigious education, an artistic eye, and a prioritization of individually designed treatment to enhance each person’s unique features.  Call us today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Steinsapir and achieve natural results that enhance your personal attributes.

Are chin implants obsolete?

While chin implants made of materials like ePTFE, porus polyethylene, or silicone implants were once a popular way to seek improvement in the facial profile, today’s medical technology offers improved alternatives for chin augmentation.

For the most natural results, a far more organic shape can be achieved with Perlane, a stabilized hyaluronic acid filler.  Perlane® is an excellent option for volumizing the face where deficiencies in volume call for treatment in the deep dermis, which is deeper than the ideal placement for Restylane®.  This is ideal for the chin, making Perlane® the preferred modern choice for correcting volume deficiencies in the chin like the “receding chin,” and improving the chin’s contour for an overall enhanced facial profile without the necessity of surgery.

Unlike earlier forms of chin augmentation, the filler Perlane® is placed nonsurgically and is a highly flexible treatment, although it is also long-lasting.  In other words, while a treatment like a silicone implant is essentially permanent, the benefits of Perlane® can be enjoyed for well over a year, yet the treatment can also be modified or entirely erased with a hyaluronidase enzyme in the unlikely event that treatment modification is needed.  In this way you can treat the chin with the peace of mind knowing it can be comfortably performed during an office treatment with results that are more natural than what can be achieved with surgical implants.

As medical technology evolves with research and experience, so does our understanding of cosmetic surgery.  This means that procedures once thought to be our best option twenty years ago may not be recommended today.  This can be confusing for someone determining what cosmetic procedure is right for them — after all, some old procedures have been improved upon so greatly that they have in essence been replaced (for example, today’s endoscopic forehead lift is a vast improvement to the earlier open forehead lift).  It gets confusing because some surgeons cling to old ways of doing things and imply in marketing that the old method is still the best.  However, most people understand that if you can accomplish something without surgery and get a result that is even better than surgery, that’s a good thing.  Many who investigate chin fillers as an alternative to surgical implants surprise themselves by staying with the filler service rather than ultimately having a surgical implant.  Having a surgical result without surgery is pretty great.

How do you make sense of today’s best treatment options?  How can you be confident in your facial cosmetic treatment decisions?  The key is in your choice of physician.  A skilled injector is essential to achieving a balanced facial structure and improvements that are natural to your personal looks.  A medi-spa, or a surgeon who performs these services as a sideline, usually lack the specialization and experience necessary to perform a skilled Perlane® treatment.  Please call us today to learn more about Dr. Steinsapir’s specialization in facial cosmetic treatments that achieve a balanced, natural appearance; as well as his leading expertise in Medicis fillers like Perlane® and Restylane®.

What does Dr. Steinsapir think of the “Madonna Lift?”

For the last few years, the “Madonna Lift” — yes, named for the famed pop star — has received attention for purportedly dramatic results akin to an eyelid lift without the surgery.  The procedure itself involves fractional CO2 laser resurfacing, with a goal to tighten the periocular skin in the eyelids and adjacent facial regions.  Marketing claims for this procedure promise that it will give the effect of an eyelid lift through use of light columns to treat and tighten the skin.  Claims include a diminishing of wrinkles, tightening of the skin, reduction of under eye circles, and elevation of the eyebrows.  In essence, we are talking about the full benefits of an eyelid lift but without any surgery at all.

Does the Madonna Lift live up to the hype?  Reasonably, the Madonna Lift can make a modest difference in your eyes’ brightness, but individuals undergoing the procedure might feel that it didn’t seem worthwhile.  To get real results cosmetic procedure must address the root causes of your concerns.  The best and most natural results come from addressing actual issues — which may include excess tissue or tissue deficiencies or both; stretched, sagging, and sun-damaged skin; ptosis; a drooping brow; or other concerns.  Short cuts may help but they can also be disappointing because the lack the power to make a real difference.

Dr. Steinsapir is a leading advocate of minimally invasive facial cosmetic procedures, including nonsurgical procedures like under eye Restylane, the chemical peel, and Microdroplet BOTOX when indicated.  There are many nonsurgical procedures with minimal downtime that can make a huge difference in your appearance.  However, the key to satisfactory results is catering to your unique facial structure and goals, while choosing the best procedure to match your needs (whether surgical or not)–rather than setting your heart on a procedure full of promises but that may not be right for you.

The Madonna Lift is not a substitute for surgery if that is what you actually need.  This is just another example of a modest procedure with a catchy name.  For real results, we strongly encourage you to seek a personal consultation with a physician who is an eyelid specialist and can advise you on a personalized treatment plan.  This may or may not include eyelid surgery, but the key is that your treatment will be based on your needs rather than a promise of a one-size-fits-all cure with a catchy name.

Dr. Steinsapir is an international leader in both eyelid surgery and minimally invasive, nonsurgical facial cosmetic procedures.  Much of the appeal of the Madonna Lift is the absence of surgery, and it’s of course understandable that you may be hesitant to consider surgery.  Dr. Steinsapir’s philosophy is that all treatments should be both individualized and minimally invasive.  What does this mean?  If surgery is not indicated, he will not recommend it.  And when surgery is indicated to address the cause of your concerns, he opts for a treatment that is conservative and preserves as much of your natural tissue and eyelid contour as possible, enhancing your features, speeding up recovery time, and avoiding the “surgical look” famed by gossip magazines.  Many people see phenomenal results from an upper eyelid blepharoplasty and related eyelid surgeries, and many also see incredible improvements from nonsurgical procedures like undereye Restylane and an individualized chemical peel.  The bottom line is, you may or may not need surgery to get the results you desire — but for an outcome that meets your needs, you should never limit yourself to one procedure just because it was marketed to you.  For the best results, consult with a leading oculoplastic surgeon to determine which treatment plan is right for you.

We invite you to consult with Dr. Steinsapir today, a pioneer in minimally invasive cosmetic facial procedures with particular attention to the eyelid and its balance with the rest of the face.  Dr. Steinsapir has proven results for both surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic facial procedures; and his friendly, approachable, and honest demeanor will help you feel comfortable asking questions, receiving answers, and planning for the procedure(s) right for you.

Will I save money by having a facelift now?

You may be asking the wrong question.  There are certainly advantages to a well-timed facelift for the right candidate; and resolving concerns today can act as a preventative buffer for issues in the future or an escalation of your current concern.  But framing the timing of a facelift — or any cosmetic procedure, for that matter — as a matter of saving money or finding a “good deal” will set you up for disappointment.

The bottom line is: yes, correcting problems from onset is usually a good idea and can prevent or delay future issues, but quality cosmetic surgery does cost money.  If you simply seek out the surgeon willing to give you a facelift at the lowest price possible, you are probably going to be disappointed.

Preventative Measures

When most people think of cosmetic procedures, they think in terms of correcting problems and flaws they already perceive, which may be causing them trouble in personal or professional relationships, or diminished confidence.  But another way to look at facial treatments such as a facelift is to consider how an early correction of issues such as facial lines and sagging cheeks can prevent them from turning into a larger and larger issue down the line.  A facelift or any other facial cosmetic surgery cannot reverse or cease the effects of aging, but it can slow down the signs with results that are long-lasting.

If you consider how often you smile, frown, furrow your eyebrows, go out into the sun, or look in the mirror and notice that your features seem to be drooping more and more as the years go by — essentially countless times every day — it makes sense that these repeated stressors will show their effects more with time.  If you are already a candidate for a facelift, delaying treatment will only reveal that your concerns gradually worsen.  This is a normal part of aging but not one we are stuck with.

A candidate for a facelift is usually somebody who presents with a neck cord, a band of skin and muscle under the chin.  If you are showing the early signs of aging but do not yet have this neck cord, your facial concerns can typically be addressed with a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that does not involve surgery.  This may be BOTOX, a facial filler, or other means of facial rejuvenation.  It truly depends on the unique nature of your experience and anatomy.  Just as it’s important to know when a facelift is indicated, it’s equally important to know when a nonsurgical approach will help.  Either way, an early consultation with an expert can save you years of worry and concern as you decide whether to get a facelift today, ten years from now, or never at all.  A qualified surgeon can help you make these decisions.

A Bargain Isn’t the Best Deal

When you are ready to commit to aesthetic facial improvements by means of cosmetic surgery, this comes with putting value in the leading treatment providers and specialized, experienced surgeons.  Great results can be affordable and reasonable, and most top surgeons offer payment options from which you may choose; but you will need to be willing to invest in your facelift if you want the best results.

For the Best Care…

Choose a surgeon with specialization and fellowship training in facial cosmetic surgery, with an emphasis on minimally invasive methods.  It is essential to have surgery that is specifically tailored for your face. This means that your doctor will see you as an individual, provide you with an individualized consultation and physical examination, then personally design a program of care that is catered to you.  Your doctor should value a natural look, with minimally invasive techniques and quick recovery.  Especially important is the experience level, reputation, and specialized training of your doctor.  Please note that many great general plastic surgeons do not have the level of training and qualifications required to perfect the details of a facelift and other procedures for which an understanding of how to create facial balance is an absolute must.

We invite you to consult with Dr. Steinsapir, a leading oculofacial cosmetic surgeon in Beverly Hills and at UCLA .  He is broadly trained and offers unique personal service including tailored facelifts.   He is an leader in minimally invasive procedures and offers surgery both at his office surgery center and the UCLA Medical Center.  At an individual consultation, Dr. Steinsapir can help you determine which treatment is right for you at the right time.

I have a lump in my lower eyelid after Restylane® treatment. What can I do?

Restylane® is a popular filler because it is safe, relatively long-lasting, and has many cosmetic uses that can improve your facial appearance without surgery.  Additionally, its non-permanence can be viewed as an advantage because it allows you to “try it out” and see if you like the results.  Both Restylane® injections and reversal of its effects through a simple procedure are surprisingly comfortable, adding to the filler’s utility and popularity.

If you are ever dissatisfied with a Restylane® treatment, or have a lump due to its placement, the good news continues: this lump or any unwanted Restylane® is easy to remove by an injection of hyaluronidase.  This is an enzyme that breaks down the Restylane®, in essence “erasing” it.  It can also be used to “feather” a treatment to make it satisfactory.  If you have a lump in your lower eyelid after under eye Restylane® treatment, we advise you to consult with your original cosmetic surgeon to have this easily removed.  Or, if you are seeking a second opinion or feel that your original doctor may not be a specialist in under eye Restylane®, it’s always okay to seek a second opinion.  Dr. Steinsapir routinely provides second opinions and offers enzyme treatment for hyaluronic acid filler complications caused by other practitioners.  This actually is very common due to the large number of filler treatments performed by underqualified injectors that work at facilities such as medi-spas

Most often, individuals are very pleased with their Restylane® results.  However, in the event that you experience a lump or any unwanted effect, your outcome is easily adjustable with hyaluronidase.  Don’t wait for the treatment to get better on its own.  Because these products persist, in many cases the issue that bothers you can persist as long as the treatment itself.  This can be years.  This enzyme is also effective for Juvederm and Perlane, other hyaluronic acid fillers.  Always make sure you receive Restylane® treatment from a specialized physician, rather than from a nurse at a spa or doctor’s assistant.

Deepfill™ Restylane® is a method invented by Dr. Steinsapir, who is counted among the leading 3% of Restylane® and Perlane® providers in the U.S.  This technique addresses dark circles under the eyes that are the optical result of a tissue volume deficiency in this region.  As a leader in cosmetic facial treatments with particular understanding of how all aesthetic elements of the face relate to the eye and to each other, Dr. Steinsapir makes Restylane® treatments a major specialty of his practice in Beverly Hills.  If you are seeking facial improvement through Restylane® treatment or wish to correct any unwanted effect, call us today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Steinsapir.
