COSMETIC SURGERY
Considerations
Facial Wrinkles
- Botox™ treatment weakens the muscles which cause facial wrinkles.
Lower Lids
- There are two basic problems: excess fat and excess skin.
Transconjunctival
Blepharoplasty
- Cosmetic lower lid surgery involves no skin incision, scars or
sutures. Excess fat is removed from the inside of the lid to flatten
and smooth the lids. This technique may be combined with the skin
laser to tighten the lid skin without an incision.

blepharoplasty - fat removal only
Transcutaneous
Blepharoplasty
- This technique is good for removing excess skin. Excess skin and
deeper fat are removed through a skin incision.

Upper Lids
- Surgical removal of excess skin, loose muscle and fat, to create
a more natural rested appearance. Removing heavy upper lid skin
improves vision and comfort. This surgery is considered functional
(non-cosmetic and therefore covered by insurance) if a loss of vision
can be demonstrated or if the excess skin hangs over the upper lid
lashes.
