Is it wise to combine two different surgeries of the eye in one surgery? I am planning to have (1) fat grafting to upper eyelids and (2) ectropion repair (using TarSys spacer in one eye) to both lower lids. I have read that having so much done at once could compromise the results due to excessive swelling. Can someone please comment?
Hi greenstar...I too have "red dots" (spider veins)on my cheeks and really want to have them removed but am terrified of a laser of any kind. Would you mind sharing who your doctor is and where he/she is located? The radio wave sounds very interesting.
I have discussed, with an oculoplastic surgeon, the possibility of adding fat just under the brow area, as well as repair the accompanying ectropion, in hopes of making the skeletal appearance of the eye less apparent. As I previously stated, I am not prepared to attempt a brow reversal.
I too had a terrible experience with a brow lift. Now my eyebrows are positioned so high that it makes my eyes look even more skeletal than they normally would. I have been advised that the only way to truly correct this is through a "reverse" brow lift. I lost so much hair as a result of this procedure, I would never consider this. I am, however, considering having an oculoplastic (sp?) surgeon correct the "shape" of my eyes (resultant of bleph I had over 15 years ago) and allow me to close my eyes when sleeping. I am terrified of going through surgery again.
