Project Description

These photos show a woman in her mid-50s before and after upper and lower blepharoplasty surgery. ⠀ ⠀ Reducing the hooding of her upper eyelids and the puffiness in her lower eyelids gives her a more youthful, less tired look without looking fake or overdone. ⠀ ⠀ Notice that the two sides of her face are not an exact match. She has significant differences in the bony framework around her eyes prior to surgery. Her left eye sits further back than the right (enophthalmos) which causes that eye to look smaller than the right. Its not possible to correct this kind of asymmetry with eyelid surgery, so its important to recognize and discuss these types of differences before surgery. It’s crucial that the patient and surgeon are on the same page as to what can be accomplished.
