Cosmetic Eyelid and Forehead Surgery

Cosmetic Concern: 54-year old woman who feels her appearance makes her look tired. She wants to refresh her appearance but wants the results to look very natural.

Diagnosis:

  • Hooding of the upper eyelids.
  • Bilateral eyebrow ptosis.
  • Full lower eyelids due to herniation of the orbital fat.
  • Lower eyelid wrinkles.
  • Midface ptosis.

Treatment:

  • Bilateral endoscopic forehead lift.
  • Bilateral upper eyelid anchor blepharoplasty.
  • Bilateral lower eyelid transconjunctival blepharoplasty.
  • Bilateral midface lift.
  • Bilateral lower eyelid chemical peel.

Discussion: In this instance, a very detailed approach was needed to comprehensively improve her eyelid area. Pushing a single approach too far causes an over-operated appearance. Her appearance is very natural because of the detailed problem oriented approach to addressing her aesthetic concerns.
