Eyelid surgery with Plasmage? (Photo)

Question

Just had a forehead lift because my upper eyelids were hanging in fact of sagging forehad. The results are very good but I still don't like the outer corners of my upper eyelids. My eyes have something like " double lines" there - I guess this results of fat?! Don' t want another surgery; this would be too much for this little problem - do you think plasmage may help? Or does it cause damage??

Plasmage (Plexr), like The Ten Minute Eyelift, work by using heat to induce immediate tissue contraction and to ultimately promote new collagen formation (neocollagenesis) when treating both the upper or lower eyelids. When used for hooding of the upper lids or lid redundancy the tissue shrinkage promoted by the treatment leads to permanent improvement. Plasmage, like The Ten Minute Eyelift, is a minimally invasive procedure, which means that there is some downtime involved--in the form of oozing, crusting, swelling and redness, all of which can be easily dealt with by the use of topical and occasionally oral medications for a few days until healing of the wounds occurs. Maximal benefit from these procedures usually occurs about four to eight weeks following treatment, and treatments sometimes need to be repeated to achieve optimal improvement. Best of luck.

Plasmage can help small cases, and can reduce, but can not treat as surgery, and can reach results as surgery, which can give you the exact ideal lift. After evaluating your picture if you need to enhance your concern, we can resect it with local anesthesia and blepharoplasty surgery. It is an easy direct surgery.
