Background: Changes in the eyelids is one of the first signs of facial aging and continues unabated throughout life. Skin redundancies, wrinkles and fat herniation all develop in everyone to varying degrees and at various rates. Such age-related changes occur on both upper and lower eyelids although not equally so. While upper eyelid aging usually Read More…
One of the most common facial lines that are formed with aging due to repetitive muscle activity are the vertical glabellar lines. These are vertical skin creases that develop in between the eyebrows and are classically called the ‘11s’ because most people will develop a symmetrically pair of them. While this is the most common Read More…
Background: Aging of the eyelids is always associated with varying amounts of skin excess, fat protrusion and skin wrinkling. The lower eyelid takes these issues to further ‘extremes’ creating additional aesthetic issues such as tear troughs, nasojugal grooves and a non-smooth surface contour in contrast to the underlying cheeks. These issues along with manipulating a Read More…
The development of retraction or lid sag is the risk that every open procedure done on the lower eyelid risks. Despite known efforts to prevent it, such as lateral cantopexies, limited skin resection and orbicularis muscle resuspension, it can still develop in some patients. Many mild cases that occur right after surgery in a patient Read More…

Loose skin, protruding fat pads and wrinkles are all common aesthetic concerns that occur on the eyelids which are frequently treated by both surgical and non-surgical methods. Lower blepharoplasty surgery has some Read More…
Blepharoplasty is a broad term that implies an aesthetic procedure to the upper or lower eyelids. As a cosmetic procedure it has its origin in the treatment of the aging older eyelid where skin and fat removal are done in a more complete blepharoplasty surgery.

The lateral canthoplasty is a well recognized eye corner procedure which is most commonly used in reconstructive lower eyelid surgery. It is used to treat a variety of lower eyelid problems which are fundamentally various forms of ectropion and retraction. The basic concept is to deconstruct the lateral canthal angle and re-anchor the lateral eyelid Read More…
Many Asians upper eyelids do not have a discernible crease due to the absence of connecting fibers between the levator aponeurosis and the underside of the dermis of the skin. Other eyelid anatomic findings include an excess of preaponeurotic fat and a lower fusion point of the orbital septum and the levator aponeurosis. These unique Read More…
