Doylestown Eyelid Surgery doctors

With cosmetic surgery, as with any type of surgery, it is important to make the correct diagnosis by examining each patient carefully. If redundancy of the upper eyelids is significantly relieved by conservatively pulling upward on the eyebrows, then brow ptosis (sagging) may be the diagnosis and a brow lift is the appropriate operation. If the upper eyelid skin excess is minimally reduced by this maneuver, then the diagnosis is blepharochalasis (excess upper eyelid tissue) and a blepharoplasty should be performed. In many cases both problems are present and both procedures should be suggested.

It is important to avoid over-correction with the brow lift to avoid an artificial, surprised appearance after surgery. An overly arched brow is neither youthful nor natural. Most of the lift should be directed to the lateral portion of the brow.
