Blepharoplasty on Women of Color Without Cutting to Prevent Scarring- Who Can Do It? Chicao has a surgeon who can do blepharoplasty without cutting on women of color (Dr. Julius Few). He goes in thru the lower eye lid. Is there an east coast plastic surgeon who does the procedure this way?

A: Non-incisional belparhoplasty You are speaking of a transconjunctival blepharoplasty in which the incision is inside the eyelid. The procedure is routinely performed by plastic surgeons and I do not think you will have difficulty finding someone in your area to perform it. If you are concerned about scarring from surgery, you could consider Restylane to fill in the tear troughs but it is impossible to comment on its efficacy without a photo.

Eyes are Very Different 1 Week After Double Eyelid Surgery, Should I be Worried? I am 9 days post op double eye surgery. One eye is more swollen and much more small. Surgeon says it's all fine and not to worry. She said I became very stressed during the surgery and they had to switch me to a general and cortorise the beeding in one of my eyes. My eye looks so different from the other and I am really panicking!

A: Difference in post-bleph swelling

It's very common for patients to swell more on one side than on the other so, at this point in the healing, it would not be grounds for concern. If your surgeon needed to cauterize more bleeders on the side that is swollen, that would certainly be a logical explanation for the additional swelling. There is no reason to panic at this stage in the healing. Just be patient and give things a chance to settle down!

	“Dont Do Eyelid Surgery if You Have...” I had upper and lower bleph without warning of dry eye complication. post op had severe dry eye - extremely painful eyes and poor vision for 9 months - not able to read for 3 months. Managing severe dry eye very debilitating - hard to protect defenseless eyes. Op surgeon not helpful - treatment with eye drops w preservative exacerbated dry eye issue.

	“Eyelid Surgery - Staten Island, NY” Went to Dr. Jeffrey Schiller in Staten Island. My upper eyelids were drooping to my eyelids. I no long had an eyelid. They recommended doing the lower lids as well. I am a 56 year old female patient. It is day 2. I followed their directions. Took Arnaca 5 days before to help with swelling and bruising. The procedure went extremely well. Of course, it is too early to tell the results.... more
	“12 Minutes Start to Finish! Thrilled...” I went for it because my sagging eyelids were no treat to look at in the mirror and I felt self-conscious around others more
	“Exceptional Results - Wayne, NJ” Blepharoplasty completed by Dr. Ganchi just 4 months ago and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. The procedure was painless, quick and virtually scarless after just a short time of healing. This quick procedure was simple, yet makes a huge difference in overall appearance as others around me comment on how "rested" I appear. The combination of the procedure with Latisse... more
	“Great Blepharoplasty - Washington, DC” Wanted to get rid of bags on eyelids and loose skin. My ex husband met me and said I look like I did when I got married to him (20 years ago). Revenge is sweet! more
	“Very Pleased with my Results - New...” I always looked tired, even when I wasn't and I felt that it made me look older. I went to the doctor for a consultation, as everyone--friends and colleagues-- kept remarking on how tired I looked, even when I'd had a full night sleep. I didn't know what type of procedure I'd need-- I thought maybe a partial facelift, but Dr. Engler told me that I'd most benefit from... more
	“Nervous Patient - Happy W Results -...” I'm 38 and was spending upwards of 20,000 a year on injectables with one of the best docs in New York City. Was recommended by my dermatologist to see Dr David Rosenberg, who's not cheap but very thoughtful and absolutely against doing unnecessary procedures. At my first consultation he recommended lower bleph but not upper. Procedure was fine, not too much pain. Swelling took... more
	“Great Experience with First Cosmetic...” I recently had an eyelid lift and a brow lift. Had sagging skin over my eyelids that was unsightly and also affecting my vision a little. Wanted to look less tired and more alert. more
	“Had a Rhinoplasty and Lower Lid...” -The cost for the would of actually been more but since I had two procedures done at the same time the price was reduced so you would have to call and ask for a quote. -I had surgery for two procedures on July 19 2011 with Dr. Sam Rizk and so far I'm very pleased with my rhinoplasty. - As for my lower lid blepharoplasty coming out of surgery I was very very swollen which is... more
	“Lower Eyelid Surgery - Edison, NJ” I got tired of people telling me i looked 30 when i am only 23 so i decided to have this done. My surgeon and his team were beyond phenomenal!!! When i went in for my consultation i had no doubt in my mind i wanted him to do it. The healing process was surprisingly fast and the difference was obvious in about a week! The swelling subsided in about 4 days and i had very minimal pain or... more
	“Bad Experience - Paramus, NJ” I used Dr Z to have done the Lower and upper Blepharoplasty on 4/2/10. I am living the worse experience in my life. The upper left eye bother me when I open my eye. I felt in depression. I went t to see him a couple times to discuss the situation and he said that there is nothing that he can do it. Of course, he already got paid and he put the money and the package and he does care about... more
	“Big Blue Eyes - Paramus, NJ” Doctor and staff were great, did it all awake ( just took some great Rx drugs and plugged in Ipod). I had an upper and lower bleph, fat injected into my 11's and spider veins done in legs, cost was $5500. It really does take about 6 weeks to really see results, but I am thrilled. Keep getting compliments asking if I lost weight (yes) new hair cut, etc...He took 15 yrs. off my face.... more
	“So Pleased with my Doctor and my...” I did it because the skin on my eyelids had begun to droop down and caused me to feel as though I was always sleepy and difficult to keep my eyes open. I am so happy I decided to do it. The down time was next to nothing and the pain was negligible at best. more
	“Great Surgical Experience - Paramus, NJ” I had the surgery because I had bags under my eyes and too much skin on the upper lid. I always hated how I looked! Now, I don't look tired anymore! more
	“Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery - Westfield, NJ” Get rid of bags. After eyelid surgery with another doctor I looked terrible. He had removed too much skin and my eyes were too open. I needed either a skin graft or some support in the eyelid to help push them up. I look normal now and Dr T did it. I had nodules of sculptra near my eyelids and he removed them. I thought my life was over before and now I am back to normal. God... more
	“Eyelids - New York, NY” My eyelids were hanging, and that seems much older than me. I was having trouble applying makeup and was not enough. My sister and I went to the office of Dr. S for surgery. He conducted a surgery of our eyelids in the office and only took about an hour. The sutures were removed four days later and I'm back to work and feel much better about myself. I never thought that plastic surgery can... more
	“So Happy! - New York” About 6 years ago, i made the decision to consult a doctor about my uneven breasts. For years I felt unattractive and lacked self confidence due to lopsided and sagging breasts. All i wanted at the time was to look "normal" and this problem was starting to take over my life. My close friend had just had a breast reduction with amazing results and recommended that i go see Dr. E.... more
	“Dr. is Wonderful!!! - West Orange, NJ” Upper and lower blepharoplasty and s-lift. I had very bad bags under my eyes. I look 20 years younger than I did. Nobody believes me when I tell them my true age. more

	“You Get What You Pay For!!” There are a lot of poor plastic surgeons out there so it's not surprising that some people were dissatisfied. A woman I know wanted to save money although she's pretty affluent. She went to a doctor who charged only $3500 and he made a mess of her eyes. I do not believe in economizing on one's face. Wearing cheaper underwear is a better strategy. I went to a highly regarded surgeon and I got... more
	“Upper/Lower Eyelid Surgery- Great...” The experience with my Plastic Surgeon and his staff was tremendous. The surgeon and his staff provide such a welcoming environment. He is abosolutely amazing. He was very diligent in helping me understand the procedure and he answered every one of my questions. I underwent an upper and lower blepharoplasty and I am very happy with the results. The recovery was quick, pain-free, and there was... more
	“Dark Circles from Lower Eyelid Bleph...” Had lower lid bleth, after 5 weeks I still have bruised dark circles due to damage. When will it go away, I have soft skin/Olive tone. more
	“I Hope This Works...” Pros: too soon to tell (Day 4 of recovery)Cons: discomfort, too soon to tell if it "worked" I did it because I'm 37 and I felt it really aged me prematurelyFor how long (days) after lower lid surgery should I ice to speed up the recovery? I know it takes time but I'm getting a little frustrated because while I appear to be healing quickly in that I barely bruised ,on day 4 I seem to... more
	“Changed my Life (Day 1 to Year 12) -...” I got this done 12 years ago when I was 22 and have been glad I did it ever since the day it was finished. I always had puffy eyes, since I was a kid and it always bothered me. People would always ask me if I was tired or if I had been crying. UGH. How annoying. I started researching online and decided I was going to get inner lower laser blephroplasty, meaning they would use a laser to cut... more
	“Would Do It Again in a Heartbeat” If I had known it was so easy I would have done it sooner. Worth every penny. I love the results and it was much less painful and less of a nuisance than I expected. I had initially gone for just the lower lids (bags run in the family) and my surgeon suggested that I do the uppers as well since they would be more noticeable when the lowers were done. He was right. Even though I was prescribed... more
	“Love the Natural Results” Painless, quick healing, relatively inexpensive given the benefits. I don't look tired anymore is the best feature. If I didn't need to take any time off from work, nobody would have been able to tell what was so different. The most difficult aspect of getting both tops & bottoms done at the same time is that due to swelling & blurry vision, its not possible to see for the first 48 hrs. more
