What are my options for an outer eye lift?

It is impossible to have an upper blepharoplasty done without leaving a very tiny inconspicuous incision along the upper lid crease. Whatever excess skin is present laterally on the upper-outer eyelids, the surgeon has to make an incision there to be able to get rid of excess skin. This is usually blended... more

I agree that surgery is too drastic for such a slight change you feel you see. A little filler can elevate the lateral lower lid and lateral canthus, which is what you are calling the "outer eye".

Fortunally you live in a city with a large number of plastic surgeons. Thank you for including pictures, it makes this so much easier. Your diagnosis is correct, you have loss of lower lid support and upper lid support at the lateral retinaculum. Okay a very medical word but it means the lateral corner of... more

You really do not need surgical intervention for your concerns. You may benefit by some Botox in the lateral orbital area to help "open up your eye" and filler, such as Radiesse in your cheek area. You are correct that you do not need traditional surgery at this point.

I agree with the other doctors that your face looks very youthful. I would not mar your face with surgical scars. A canthoplasty at this early stage will adversely affect your eyelid shape.

As we age, our cheek fat pad begins to drop. This, along with peri-orbital deflation, increases the lid margin to cheek distance that we start to see in our late 20's. Laxity of the lateral canthal tendon and tarsal plate also progress with age. These factors tend to make the eye look rounder and less... more

I do notice some subtle change in the volume distribution of the central cheeks below the eyes: you lost just a bit of volume in this region. This is not an issue... more

Dear Neopsytox, So do your really need surgery? Much of cosmetic surgery has nothing to do with aging and every thing to do with aesthetics. If you presented to my office, I would ask you how many hours a day do you spend thinking about your appearance, what shame values do you place on your looks, do you... more

You have very youthful and attractive face. . Please look at your self and enjoy the the face you have. I would not recommend any procedures at this time.

Although you may look different then 5 years ago, you still look beautiful. No surgery is indicated. However, I am often confronted with patients that do have a significant drop in their brow and extra sag of their upper lid as a result. For those patients, limited lateral browlifts do an excellent job without... more
