Are you considering a Blepharoplasty in Atlanta? The eyes represent the window to the soul; when we meet people for the first time, we are drawn to their eyes and to their smile. Unfortunately, as we age, the skin of our eyelids stretches and the fascia and muscle that hold back the fat that cushions the globe weakens. The result is the protrusion of fat and the folding of the skin. Furthermore, excessive and drooping brow skin around the eyes conveys a sense of fatigue and sadness. Finally, contraction of the glabella (the area of skin between the eye brows) musculature gives the impression of anger and/or sadness to the face. Having a blepharoplasty in Atlanta can reverse the negative traits.
Surgeries related to the eyes are some of the most popular procedures that we do. People most often want to eliminate aging characteristics with surgery, but some will actual ask for and receive a stylized look to their eyes. An example of a stylized look would be adding an upper eyelid crease to an Asian eye.
Considering a Brow Lift Atlanta?
Our brow lift Atlanta surgeons can adjust the height and the shape of the brow to obtain the best aesthetic characteristics. Brow position forms the absolute cornerstone for the aesthetics of the upper eyelid. It must be addressed if needed or the upper eyelid procedure can actually pull the brow done lower and even further compromise the aesthetic result. Conversely, when brow lift Atlanta surgery is combined with upper eyelid surgery, less skin is removed through a smaller incision creating a more natural contour and crease in the upper eyelid. A brow lift can be accomplished through a variety of techniques - direct, coronal, mid brow, pretrichial and endoscopic. The endoscopic brow lift is the primary technique used for brow lift at the Atlanta Center for Facial Plastic Surgery. It is accomplished through minimal, camouflaged incisions in the hairline and results in less bruising, less swelling and faster healing. Fixation is accomplished with suture through a bone bridge; so no visible screws are required. During the brow lift procedure the glabella musculature can be weakened, thereby reducing the midline frown lines.
Eyelid Lift Atlanta Procedural Details
An eyelid lift Atlanta surgery usually contains multiple steps. Surgery of the upper and lower eyelids tends to include three major steps - hide the incision, remove excessive skin and prolapsed fat, and tighten the fascia and/or muscle. The well-hidden incisions are in the natural crease of the upper lid and just below the lash line of the lower lid or on the inside of the lower eyelid. The removal of excess skin and prolapsed fat is based on the judgment of the eyelid lift Atlanta surgeon and are central to successful surgery. At the Atlanta Center for Facial Plastic Surgery, electrical current is used to remove the excess fat; this provides for excellent control of the bleeding and reduces post-operative bruising and complications. The tightening of the fascia and/or muscle refreshes the contour, appearance and frequently the orientation of the eye.
When brow lift and blepharoplasty are combined, rejuvenation of the upper one-third of the face is accomplished.
