Plastic Surgery
Drooping eyelids do not only block your view but also make you look
older and more tired. Eye bags of the lower eyelid only enhance this
view.
Sutures will be removed at the surgeon’s discretion three to seven
days post operatively. It is important not to stoop or carry out
vigorous activities for two or three days, otherwise postoperative
bleeding could result.
With a fine scalpel, the surgeon removes the extra skin above each eye
in the shape of a half moon. For the bottom eyelid, the incision is
made right under the bottom eyelashes.
As the face ages, one of the sometimes noticeable problems is drooping of the eyebrows.
Some people often look tired or angry, while they actually feel fine.
This is often because of sagging eyebrows which seem to press on the
upper eye lid.
An eyebrow lift not only corrects sagging in the eyebrows but also the
forehead, and upper eyelids. The idea is to perform the surgery in the
hairline on the forehead so there will be no scaring. The surgery lifts
the forehead area up so that the eyebrows can be better positioned.
The surgery is performed on an outpatient basis and any pain or
discomfort you experience can usually be controlled with mild
medication. The sutures come out within a week and the swelling and
bruising usually subsides within 5-10 days. Your result should last
five to ten years and the procedure can be repeated as needed.
