Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty (Lower Eyelid Surgery)
Overview of the surgery:
Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty is used to remove the fat deposits and loose skin that may form on the lower eyelids with age. An incision is made along the lash line, smile creases. Excess fat, muscle and skin are removed. Fine sutures are used to close the incision.
Duration of the Operation:
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty generally takes about one to three hours to complete, depending on the technique used and the extent of repair.
Post operative care:
After surgery, the physician will lubricate your eyes with ointment to reduce dryness in this area. Your vision may be blurred temporarily from the ointment. The first evening after surgery, you should rest quietly with your head elevated. It will help to apply cold compresses to your eyelids. Your blood pressure should be monitored to avoid bleeding complications that can affect vision and limit activities from mild to moderate gradually. You should wear dark sunglasses for a couple of weeks to protect your eyes from wind and sun irritation.
Recovery Period:
Stitches will be removed within the first week. Bruising, swelling and discoloration around your eyes will gradually subside for several weeks. Within the fist week you will be permitted to use make up to conceal any discoloration if desired. You will receive eye drops to help relieve burning sensation and itching as well. For the first week you need to avoid activities like watching TV, wearing contacts and using computer. For the first 3or 4 weeks, you should avoid any activity that increases blood flow to the eyes, including bending, lifting, crying and sports.
Possible risk and complications:
Complications are rare; however there are risks associated with any medical procedure. Possible complications include: infection, bleeding (rare) but can cause loss of vision, prominence of the scars, asymmetry in healing or scarring, dryness, decrease sensation in the eyelid, difficulty closing the eyes, or any reaction to anesthesia and in rare instances blindness. You can help minimize certain risks by following the advice and instructions of your plastic surgeon, both before and after your eyelid surgery. Pre-existing conditions can also put you at risk. They include thyroid problems such as hypothyroidism, insufficient tear production or dryness of the eye, elevated blood pressure or other circulatory disorders, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.
Anesthesia use:
General or local anesthesia with mild sedation
Hospital admission:
It depends on your preferences as well as your surgeon’s. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty can be performed on an out patient basis, in the hospital, or in an ambulatory surgical suite.
Preparation before Surgery
- Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
- Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
- You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
- Avoid taking any medications such as hormones, anticoagulants, anabolic steroids and supplements at least 4-6 weeks to prevent complicating medical factors prior to surgery. Avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements as they can increase bleeding.

Lateral Eyebrow Lift
Overview of the surgery:
Lateral Eyebrow Lift corrects the drooping of the outer brow line. This technique is also known as a temporal brow lift, and addresses sagging around the outside of the eyebrow almost exclusively. Lateral brow lifts can be performed in conjunction with blepharoplasty or other procedures.
During a lateral brow lift, incisions are placed in the hairline at the temples towards the sides of the face. The lateral brow lift removes excess skin, lifting the outer corners of the forehead. Unlike a traditional brow lift, a lateral brow lift will not raise the middle of the brow, but it will somewhat alleviate crow's feet (the creasing at the outer corners of the eyes). Lateral brow lifts are ideally suited to prospective patients who are only concerned with the drooping of the ends of the eyebrow.
Duration of the operation:
The procedure normally takes about 20-30 minutes.
Post operative care:
When your procedure is completed, your forehead may be taped and your head may be loosely wrapped with a soft compressive dressing usually for 1-2 days to minimize swelling and bruising. A thin tube may be present to drain any excess blood or fluid that may collect under the skin. You may experience little or no postoperative pain for the first few days. Analgesic medications for pain and antibiotics to prevent infection will be prescribed.
Recovery Period:
Swelling in the eyelids can be profound but is usually short lived. Most patients can go back to work in about a week. Sutures or staples maybe remove at 5-7 days post op.
Possible risk and complications:
Complications are rare; however, there are risks associated with any medical procedure. Some patients may not be able to move their eyebrows or forehead. Scar formation and permanent hair loss within the scar area may occur. Permanent lack of sensation at the incision line is also a rare complication. Infection, bleeding, and other minor complications are possible.
Anesthesia use:
Most brow lifts are performed under local anesthesia with sedation.
Hospital admission:
Lateral Brow Lift can be performed on an out patient basis or in the hospital under local or general anesthesia. You and your surgeon will discuss preferences.
Preparation before Surgery:
- Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
- Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
- You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.

Incisional Suturing Technique
Overview of the surgery:
Incisional suturing technique is the type of cosmetic surgery procedure where the skin around the eye is reshaped to create an upper eyelid with a crease (double eyelid) from an eyelid without a crease (single eyelid). The method of suturing is the most common in Asian double eyelid surgery. The skin is incised with a scalpel at a desired height. A small strip of skin above this initial incision is excised using scissors. The incision is carried deeper into the eyelid through the orbicularis muscle and orbital septum until the orbital fat is exposed. Small strips of muscle and fat are excised. The final crease height and shape are the result of both selective tissue removal and precise internal tissue rearrangement. The incisional approach is considered the "gold standard" in Asian double eyelid surgery.
Duration of the operation:
The surgery lasts less than an hour.
Post operative care:
After your surgical procedure is already completed, cold compress and lubricating ointment may be applied to the surgical area to control the discomfort of swelling, bruising, dryness of the eyes, and in some cases your eyes may be loosely covered with gauze.
Recovery Period:
Sutures are placed and removed anywhere from 5-7 days after surgery and will usually take about 7-10 days recovery period. Activities and exercise can be resumed about 1 month after surgery.
Possible Risks and complications:
Complications are rare, however, there are risks associated with any medical procedure. Possible complications include Ptosis (asymmetrical eyes), hollow eyes wherein too much fat were removed that will result to incapability of the patient to close eyes fully and scarring. These risks can be easily corrected with surgery
Anesthesia Use:
Incisional suturing technique can be performed under local anesthesia with minor sedation or with general anesthesia.
Hospital admission:
Incisional Suturing Technique can be performed on an out patient basis or in the hospital under local or general anesthesia. You and your surgeon will discuss preferences.
Preparation before the surgery:
- Assessment of the medical history (any allergies, serious medical condition and all medications taken both prescribed and non-prescribed), physical examination, and laboratory tests will be performed during consultation.
- Smoking must be avoided for about 3-4 weeks prior to surgery, as nicotine interferes with circulation and will greatly affect healing process.
- You will likely to be asked to stop drinking alcohol, a week before the surgery and throughout your recovery period.
