Background: There is a natural alignment of the lower eyelid with eyeball for functional purposes that also has an aesthetic effect. Unlike the upper eyelid opens and closes the lower eyelid has less dynamic action. It largely is suspended from one side of the bony orbit to the other like a clothesline with its lid Read More…
Double eyelid surgery, most commonly associated with Asians, often has an associated epicanthal fold or web. This medial epicanthoplasty is often part of double eyelid surgery although it can also be performed alone. Many different types of tissue transposition techniques have been used to soften or eliminate it but no matter how it is done Read More…
Background: One of the recognizable facial features is a web of skin that crosses the inner eye. (epicanthal fold) Such a fold of skin runs between the nose and the inner eyebrow.While small it creates a distinct eye appearance. Its presence is most commonly associated with the Asian face but this is not the only Read More…
There are many anatomic components that influence the shape of the eye. One of the most significant and commonly modified is that of the outer corner of the eye. The well known procedures of canthopexy and canthoplasty are widely used although there is frequent patient confusion as to the difference between them. At their most Read More…
There are many features to the eyes which create either a positive (youthful) or negative (aging) appearance. Some are present naturally while others develop from the effects of time and movement. While the upper eyelid has the important topographic features of a well defined lid crease and supra tarsal fold, the lower eyelid has less Read More…
Undereye hollows are a common periorbital aesthetic concern. They can occur congenitally due to lack of infraorbital rim development or occur naturally from aging changes. They are commonly and typically effectively treated by injection techniques using synthetic fillers or fat. But not all undereye hollow patients achieve satisfactory improvement despite injector expertise or material. This Read More…
Undereye hollowing is a very common aesthetic orbital concern. There are multiple reasons why undereye hollowing exists from lack of adequate fat/soft tissue thickness to an infraorbital rim bony deficiency. And in some patients it is a combination of both. There are even situations where cheek implants have been placed and now the infraorbital area Read More…
The lower eyelid is composed of three tissue layers known as the lamella. There is an outer layer (skin), middle layer (muscle and fascia) and inner lamellar layer. (mucosa) Changes occur from youth to older age in all eyelid layers of which the most noticeable is the skin. In youth the lower eyelid skin is Read More…
While both upper and lower eyelids experience adverse aging effects, they display different anatomic changes in doing so. While the upper eyelid develops skin redundancies, the lower eyelid is more prone to exhibit the formation of bags. (fat herniation) This is particularly true in the younger patient where any excessive skin on the lower eyelid Read More…
Lower eyelid bags are a well recognized facial feature that is typically associated with looking tired and/or being older. Appearing as ballooned lower eyelids they are one of the easily seen of all aesthete eyelid deformities with a convex rather than a concave lower eyelid shape. While there may be a skin component to lower Read More…
