Surgeon's Notes:   This first patient is a young 35 year old woman who as had a genetic problem of excess upper eyelid skin and fat. Her parents also have had this similar problem. Se has received numerous comments from friends and family members always asking her if she was tired. She decided she would like to have this problem corrected while she was still young, and before the problem became worse. She elected to have an upper blepharoplasty performed. The incision was placed in the upper eyelid crease and from this incision upper excess skin and fat was removed. The procedure took 1 hour and was performed under local anesthetic. As you can see, in both the front and side views post operatively; the eyes look bigger. The upper lid crease is more visible and the upper eyelid redundancy is reduced. This
result is 3 weeks post her surgery.

Surgeon's Notes:   This second patient is a young women in her forties who has been told she looks tired by numerous friends and relatives. She has excess upper skin and lid folds that obscure her natural crease. She also has extra bagging and sagging lower lid skin that makes her look older. Both problems were corrected simultaneously with an upper and lower blepharoplasty under local aesthesia. The procedure took one hour to perform. The upper incision was placed in the lid crease. The lower lid incision was placed just under the lash line. As you can see post operatively the eyes look bigger. The upper lid crease is more visible as the excess skin and fat is removed, the lower lid fat excess and skin laxity is also reduced. The results, as with all good plastic surgery are subtle and hence people never knew she had surgery done but merely thought she looked better, more awake and rested.
