EYELID LIFT


Upper and Lower Eyelid Lift with Lower Lid Laser Resurfacing

Have you ever been asked if you have slept well or are working too hard? Have you been struggling to apply eyeliner and shadow? When did those hoods, bags, dark circles and fine wrinkles appear? We see the eyes first when we look at a face. They are not only signals of emotions but also windows of the soul.


Upper and Lower Eyelid Lift with Laser
Resurfacing of Lower Lids

Eyelid surgery alone awakens the face and makes it more vibrant. Removal of upper lid hooding takes minutes. If tissue glue is used to close the incision, there are no stitches! Lower lid bags cast a shadow below and darken the circles. These fat pockets are removed from the backside of the lid with a laser, again no stitches. Pain is very rare. There is little to no bruising. At the same time the lid wrinkles and crows feet can be smoothed with laser resurfacing.

FOREHEAD AND EYEBROW LIFT

Frankenstein had a low and heavy forehead. There is no reason why we should. Depending on the problem, there are a number of different approaches to rejuvenate the upper third of the face. The most exciting development in this area is endoscopic forehead lifting. This technique allows Dr. Truswell to perform the procedure through small incisions, ~ 0.75 in., using scopes and a micro television camera. This has greatly reduced postoperative recovery and minimized patient discomfort. Low eyebrows contribute to the hooding of the upper lids in some individuals. Repositioning them brightens and highlights the eyes.
