I'm afraid that having upper Eyelid surgery will change the look of my eyes, specifically the shape. For example, I don't want round looking eyes.
The design of skin removal along the upper eyelid should follow your normal anatomy and lid fold position. If this is undertaken as considered, your lids should not change shape and the "round" look should not be a concern. The skin excision will provide a fresher, rested look which is optimal after blepharoplasty.
Hope this helps!
I've had upper and lower blepharoplasty. I am left with loose wrinkly skin. I have had a peel, microdermabrasion, as well as Botox. What other treatments can I try to get rid of this wrinkly skin?
In addition to chemical peels, another alternative exists in laser resurfacing. The current range of laser choices minimizes downtime and provides a very predictable healing scenario. This is by building collagen along the treated area. Sometimes several treatments are necessary and would be typically separated by a month or more.
I am 5 weeks post-op bilaterial upper Blepharoplasty. My left eye is healing fine but the inner corner of my right eye has sagging or droopy skin! I saw my surgeon after a month, and she said to be patient, I won't see a total result for 6 months. I don't see how the skin will tighten; I thought the skin usually relaxes with time. Do you think this will shrink? It sure looks to me that I will need a revision to just remove the excess skin. Can this be done as soon as 3 months? Thanks.
Small elements of asymmetry or skin excess can indeed change with time. 3-6 months of waiting would not be unreasonable prior to entertaining any revision. In general, a small correction corresponds to a shorter downtime and quicker recovery. Discuss this with your surgeon and come up with a plan if anything further is necessary.
