Incisional & Non-incisional double eyelid

Image
  During the consultation oftentimes we meet patients who feel worried about the incisional method of double eyelid surgery.     They tend to think that the incisional method makes the eyes look more unnatural and causes much swelling after the surgery.     Therefore, they want to do the surgery through the non-incisional single-knot technique. Does this method work for anyone? It is the main topic of the article.     If you would like to have a more natural look of a double eyelid, it is necessary to choose the surgery technique that best suits your eye anatomy and form.   If the plastic surgeon considers you are not a good candidate for the non-incisional method, then the only way to create double eyelids would be with the help of the incisional method.     During the consultation, the doctor can examine your eyes and tell exactly which method can meet up your expectations from the surgery.     Therefore, I would like to stress the importance of consultation with a specialized board-

Do eyelids droop again after upper eyelid surgery?

Image
  Upper blepharoplasty, also called upper eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that improves the eye droopiness caused by the aging process.     Therefore, many patients want to improve saggy eyelids with upper eyelid surgery.     Often, we receive such questions as: “Don’t the eyelids sag again with the time after the surgery? “ “ Is the result permanent?” “Is there a need for a revision surgery, and when?”   Eyelids can sag even after the surgery. The reason is that the aging process will still be on, and there is nothing that can completely stop this process. The result of the surgery is long-lasting, but it is not permanent.     Depending on the degree of the skin sagging, the doctor might recommend having revision surgery.     It is also important to have a pre-surgery consultation with a board-certified plastic surgery specialist and explain to him your expectation from the given surgery.

How long does the filler injection last?

Image
    Filler injection is a cosmetic procedure that naturally corrects the sunken parts of the body, usually the face, by adding volume. Many people do filler hollow eyelids, low nose bridge, smile lines and etc.     However, the effectiveness of the fillers depends on which part of the body fillers are injected. Do you want to know why that is?   Usually, when we make a facial expression, we often use our nasolabial folds and the eyelid skin is also very thin. Therefore, the fillers get absorbed faster in these areas than the cheeks or nose bridge.     Before undergoing any cosmetic procedures, we strongly recommend that you get a consultation with a board-certified specialist who will be able to explain all the details of the procedure.  

What is a Surgical Facelift?

  Nowadays, there are a growing number of surgical methods used for facial rejuvenation. However, the most effective method is, undoubtedly, surgical Facelift. It improves the visible signs of facial aging and addresses wrinkles and skin sagging in the cheeks and nasolabial folds, as well as the chin area. A facelift tightens the skin, underlying tissues, and muscles, as well as removes excess skin. The incision is made in the hairline, extends around the frontal part of the ears, and hides behind the ears. The scars are almost invisible since they hide from view in the natural skin creases. The underlying tissues are repositioned, the muscles are lifted, and the excess skin is trimmed away. The stitches are removed on the 12-14th day after the surgery. The Facelift will dramatically rejuvenate your face and will give you are more youthful appearance.  More about Face lift

Correct lateral skin laxity with Sub-brow lift

Image
  Many patients have a common condition of droopy eyelids. One of the most popular plastic surgery techniques is Upper blepharoplasty. However, there is an additional surgery that can improve your eyelids. This is the Sub-brow lift. It mainly improves the lateral skin hooding that makes your double eyelids look more rejuvenated. This is the procedure of choice that is often recommended in combination with Upper Blepharoplasty. The Sub-brow lift is performed with the help of the incision that is made underneath the eyebrows. The excess skin is removed, and the incisional area is sutured. This method changes the double eyelids look, especially in a lateral area without making any changes to the double eyelids.  The incision is hiding under the eyebrows. Therefore the scar won’t be visible after the operation.

Can I eat spicy food after my plastic surgery?

Image
    Paying close attention to what you eat after the surgery can play a crucial role in the result of the surgery. In this post, we will cover what kinds of food you must avoid after the surgery.     Many patients are curious if it is okay to eat spicy food. Salty and spicy foods cause swelling. Spicy foods contain a large amount of sodium which slows down the recovery.   As a result, it may take a long time for swelling to subside. Therefore, we recommend eating food or meals that will help reduce swelling, such as pumpkin porridge, seaweed, sea tangle, etc.     Apart from food, taking a light walk in the morning or evening will improve blood circulation. Also, it accelerates the post-surgical recovery process.
