Eyelid Surgery Before & After Case 45

This 43 year old female was unhappy because she thought that the extra skin in her upper eyelids made her look tired.  After a thorough examination it was shown to her that the excess skin was only part of the problem.  She also had "lateral hooding" of her brow.  This refers to the excess fullness on the outer portion of her brow - which contributes to the "tired" look.  Removing only excess skin from her upper eyelids will only partially help the problem.  She also needed to raise the brow in order to drastically reduce her "tired" look.

    She underwent an upper eyelid blepharoplasty with an Endotine Brow lift.  The procedure was done in the office under local anesthesia.  It involves removing excess skin of the upper eyelid and then placing a small disolvable "clip" that raises the brow and holds it in its new position.  This is all done through the eyelid incision - which is completely hidden in the upper eyelid crease!

  Her recovery was fast and she loves her new refreshed look!!
