Upper Blepharoplasty Gallery

This patient underwent bilateral upper blepharoplasty. During surgery, excess skin was removed and the eyelid was contoured to enhance the upper eyelid appearance. The patient also had a lower blepharoplasty. Notice the puffiness of each lower eyelid. This is due to orbital fat protruding and is a common concern for many patients. While some patients are born with puffy lower eyelids, this is a problem that more commonly develops over time. This patient underwent transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty (scarless approach through the inside of the eyelid) to address the puffiness. After surgery, the puffy areas are no longer visible and the patient has a natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

During surgery, excess skin was removed and the eyelid was contoured to restore the eyelid platform.

This patient presented with drooping of her upper eyelids. In addition to excess skin (dermatochalasis), the eyelids were low due to changes in the muscles that open the eyelid (ptosis). The patient underwent bilateral upper blepharoplasty and internal ptosis repair. Not only have the eyelids been raised and the excess skin removed, but the eyelid contour has also been improved.

This patient in her 70s underwent bilateral upper blepharoplasty, bilateral ptosis repair, and Botulinum Toxin @raleigheyeandface .

To enhance symmetry, this patient underwent:

Right upper blepharoplasty to remove heavy skin and reform the eyelid crease

Right internal ptosis repair to elevate the right upper eyelid

Right Botulinum Toxin brow lift

Botulinum Toxin treatment to lower the right lower eyelid

This patient also had general facial Botulinum Toxin to reduce wrinkles (notice the improvement in the forehead lines)

This patient presented with excess skin on her upper eyelids (dermatochalasis). The patient underwent customized bilateral upper blepharoplasty with sulcus reformation. Sulcoplasty with the brassiere suture technique contours the eyelid and supports the brow fat pad from below. This recreates normal anatomic relationships and prevents the eyelid skin from sagging. Some patients need more than a traditional blepharoplasty with skin excision to achieve optimal results.

This is a great example of how surgery and non surgical procedures compliment each other to provide the best results. Surgery, botulinum toxin, and laser all play different roles in rejuvenation. Here is what was done in this case.

Upper blepharoplasty surgery: excess upper eyelid skin was removed and the upper eyelids were contoured to reestablish an eyelid crease on each side.

Lower blepharoplasty surgery: orbital fat that shifted forward over time was sculpted to create a smooth transition between the lower eyelids and cheeks.

Botulinum toxin was strategically placed to balance the brows and relax the facial muscles.

Laser resurfacing was performed to rejuvenate the skin, improve skin quality, fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentary changes. In this case, higher energy settings were used on the malar area where some mild redness is apparent - this will improve. This patient is shown approximately 3 weeks following laser resurfacing. There will be continued overall improvement in the skin over the course of months.
