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: For many patients lower eyelid surgery can be performed without cutting the skin

For lower eyelids, surgery can often be performed by making a cut on the inside of the lid. This technique avoids any skin incision. This is a great procedure for many patients but you would need a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon to decide if this procedure is right for you.

If you want to ask if a doctor does the procedure, it is called a transconjunctival blepharoplasty.

I hope that is helpful.

A: Eyelid surgery and retina detachment Eyelid surgery and retinal issues are separate problems that should not have an affect on each other. Especially once the retinal problem has been treated and is healed. This can be explained best by your retinal surgeon or even better, an ophthalmic plastic surgeon, who is trained In both eye care and plastic surgery.

What is the Location of the Scars for a Lower Blepharoplasty and How Noticeable are They? I'm having a lot of trouble locating pictures of the scars that come from a lower blepharoplasty surgery - both post-op and long-term. Where can I find these? What is the location of the scars, and how noticeable are they?

A: Scars are rare in lower blepharoplasty

There are two basic ways to perform a lower blepharoplasty.

If you just have excess fat and not extra skin, the surgery can be safely performed with incision inside of your lower eyelid. In that case the incision is totally hidden inside of the eyelid and is invisible.
If you have excess skin then an incision is made on the lower eyelid, just beneath the lashes. Skin in that area heals very well and noticeable scars are very rare.

Hope that is helpful.

	“Very Very Pleased - Newtown, PA” Got upper lids done 10 days ago. Love the result! Painless, some swelling/bruising, helps to use cold/heat for 6 days. I was tired of looking tired. My upper lids seemed to droop down and make me look older than I am, as well as make me feel like I was always squinting. It has only been 10 days, but I can see a huge difference in my eyes. No more drooping. FYI-I used bags of frozen peas on... more
	“Excellent Doctor and Real Top Doc -...” I was having trouble seeing and had droopy eyelids more
	“Lower Bleph Disaster” Surgery to eliminate droopy eyelids and eliminate lower lid hollowness,I had an upper and lower bleph done on July 20th. I am now 4 1/2 months post op. My upper lids are fine my lower lids are not. I have swollen areas below my lower lids. My one side is less swollen than the other, but the skin is sagging a bit. Also, I still have a lot of hollowness which is what I thought the lower bleph... more
	“Bad Blepharoplasty Had to Be Re-done” Worth it BUT ONLY IF you get a skilled surgeon, not like the dermatologist-gone-cosmetic-surgeon who did my eyelids in the photo below. You'll never know what your blepharoplasty looks like until you see photos taken of yourself at angles (and we readers never will, either). The mirror is deceptive.All the photos I see of blepharoplasties, both on this site and elsewhere, are photos taken... more
	“So Incredibly Happy” Why didn't I do this sooner?? I am 42 years old my my eylids were such mess.Always looked sad/ disgusted. My eyes were not symmetrical at all-- one had a roll and one sagged to eyelashes. Only 3 days post-op. Pain was minimal and surgery time was under an hour. more
	“More Complicated Than I Imagined” I had upper and lower blepharoplasty 3 months ago. The surgery itself was a breeze as I had general anesthesia. The first 3 days were unpleasant to say the least. I looked like I had been in a boxing match and it was about 10 days before I stopped scaring small children, and my cat! I was not prepared for the blurred vision that felt like my eyes were looking through vaseline. The left eye... more
	“Fabulous Result” Had it performed due to sagging lid that was beginning to obsccure vision in right eye. I was out and about within 3 days. In church within 5 and back to teaching in 6. People have commented that I look much younger, more refreshed, and more awake. more
