Heavy Lifting After Eyelid Surgery and Facelift? What is the maximum weight I can lift after Eyelid surgery and Facelift? I need to know how heavy my luggage can be, since I'm flying to another city for my surgery. Thanks.

A: Be very careful

You should avoid any lifting for a full 10 days after any significant facial surgery. Bleeding after a procedure can be initiated from violating this rule!

Is It Better to Have Eyelid Surgery Now and Facelift Later? I'm 52 and have less than $10K to spend. What's the best value for the money?

A: In our practice....

You can have both Upper Eyelid Surgery and a Facelift for the amount of money that you have to spend so you should have both together if needed. That allows you to undergo anesthesia (IV sedation only) only one time and to have one post-operative period of time in which you will need to avoid social situations or work (for a week or two.)

How Can Canthoplasty Result Be Corrected? A canthoplasty procedure was performed during my lower lid blepharoplasty and it has never felt or looked right. The blepharoplaty incision was made below the lashline, in a fold, and then curved sharply upward and joined to the canthoplasty incision.
That area now looks distorted and, oddly, the skin from my outer brow is pulling to the eye's corner in a visible line.
One surgeon has suggested laser to tighten, but I don't see how this can correct the poor tissue arrangement. Are there other ways to best correct this?

A: Tough Problem to Correct

In my opinion there are only a handful of MD's who I would think have the expertise to repair this type of deformity. For those who are a little less knowledgeable a canthoplasty is usually done when the lower eyelid lacks sufficient support. It is an operation that might be a little overused in my experience and should only be done by someone with tremendous expertise in obtaining an acceptable cosmetic result. Beware of the surgeon who only occasionally does this procedure or the surgeon who does the procedure mostly for reconstructive purposes on elderly patients.
