Limitations from cosmetic surgery for Duane's Syndrome? (photo)

andrewm97Aug 21, 2016
I'm 19, I spoke with a plastic surgeon early in high school who said I could benefit from an eyelid lift surgery. She said that the surgery would be problematic as I was a high school wrestler. I forget exactly how it would be problematic but she said something along the lines of it may come undone with that much activity. Since wrestling was important to me I declined the surgery. Now I am out of high school and not wrestling, but am still very active. What are the limitations of that surgery?

Nothing is permanent but a lower blepharoplasty will result in improvement that is long lasting.  With time a minor touch up may be required.  Repositioned fat may move but is usually easily corrected.

Festoons are difficult to treat. You may want to consider Morpheus8 treatments. These will stimulate your body's natural collagen production and improve the overall appearance of the festoons.

In our practice, we have never seen a keloid scar on the eyelids in over 25 years, even in African-American patients.   It would be considered extremely rare  to get a keloid on the eyelids. The incision for the upper lids is located directly in the upper eyelid crease.  The incision for the lo...

Can be very aggravating and challenging to eliminate.  As mentioned, you could go with resurfacing in an attempt to shrink the skin but more reliable would be using ThermiLift to tighten the skin from a percutaneous approach.  Microliposuction used to be attempted but I wouldn't waste time w...
