Procedure: Eyelid Plastic Surgery

Fat eyelids Surgery Beverly Hills

Cosmetic Concern:
46-year-old woman with uneven upper eyelids and full lower eyelids.

Diagnosis:
Mild dermatochlasis of the upper eyelids with greater heaviness in the left upper eyelid. The lower eyelids demonstrate herniated eyelid fat that creates the fullness and appearance of fat eyelids.

Treatment:
Upper and lower blepharoplasty. The key here was to create as natural a look as possible. This was accomplished by balancing the work in the upper eyelids. Fat was removed from the lower eyelids with no skin incision. This type of eyelid surgery is called a transconjunctival blepharoplasty. To avoid wrinkling in the lower eyelids after the removal of fat, a lower eyelid chemical peel was performed. The procedure is gentle and the work was accomplished in the office under local anesthetic.

Procedure: Asian (Double Fold) Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid Ptosis Surgery Los Angeles

Cosmetic Concern: 32-year-old woman desires a double eyelid fold.

Diagnosis:
She has a rudimentary crease in the upper eyelids. This leaves her with no place to apply eyeliner on the upper eyelid.

Treatment:
Asian eyelid surgery is not about westernizing the eyelid. Rather it is about conserving normal eyelid structure while at the same time providing complementary eyelid definition to produce the desired result. Typically this type of surgery involves about a week of downtime.

Procedure: Fullness in the lower eyelids

Cosmetic Concern: 59-year-old man bothered by the fullness in the lower eyelids.

Diagnosis

  1. Herniated lower eyelid fat
  2. Lower eyelid wrinkles
  3. Sun damaged skin

Treatment:

  1. Transconjunctival lower eyelid surgery
  2. Lower eyelid chemical peel

Discussion:
Lower eyelid surgery reduced the fullness of the lower eyelid by removing eyelid fat. This tends to deflate the lower eyelid and slightly increase the lower eyelid wrinkles. The chemical peel performed at the time of the lower eyelid surgery, helps to firm the lower eyelid skin and reduce this tendency and avoids the need for surgery to remove the excess lower eyelid skin.

Procedure: Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery

Cosmetic Concern: 22-year-old man bothered by the fullness in the lower eyelids.

Diagnosis:
The fullness in the lower eyelid is due to orbital fat that is visible because of a descent of the cheek fat pad. Classically transconjunctival surgery to remove lower eyelid fat would be offered to an individual with this set of issues. However, due to the descent of the cheek fat, removal of the lower eyelid fat without addressing the descent of the cheek fat would only accentuate the hollow under the eyes.

Treatment:
An arcus marginalis surgery was performed. This conserves the lower eyelid fat, which is rotated out of the lower eyelid space and onto the top of the cheek fat softening the lower eyelid hollow. Recovery is typically 8-10 days. Surgery can be performed in the office procedure suite under local anesthesia.

  4. 4. Lower eyelid wrinkles
  5. 5. Midface ptosis
