Choosing the Right Clinic for Eyelid Surgery
When selecting a clinic for your eyelid surgery or revision, it’s essential to find one with a specialized plastic surgeon or, ideally, an oculoplastic surgeon. These specialists use advanced, precise techniques to analyze and correct the entire structure of the eyelid.
Beyond the surgeon, consider the clinic’s reputation. Look for a well-known, trustworthy facility with modern equipment, advanced technology, and unique techniques that make the process straightforward and minimize downtime. With the right clinic, you can undergo surgery and return to your daily life without a long recovery period.
Eyelid Reconstruction: Advanced Techniques for DroopyEyelids and Ptosis
At THE KLINIQUE Surgery Center, our team of specialized plastic surgeons includes dedicated oculoplastic surgeons who can address a wide range of eye concerns. Our Eyelid Reconstruction technique goes beyond simple aesthetics to correct underlying issues with advanced, specialized methods. We focus on five key techniques to deliver beautiful, long-lasting results with minimal scarring, pain, and a fast recovery.
Advanced Eyelid Reconstruction Techniques by Our Oculoplastic Surgeons
- Fat Repositioning : We adjust and redistribute the fat in the eyelid and orbital socket to create a smoother, more even eyelid surface.
- Ptosis Correction : This technique rebuilds the eyelid muscles to correct droopy, sleepy-looking eyes. By strengthening the muscles responsible for opening the eyes, we can make your pupils appear more visible and your eyes look wider and rounder.
- Asymmetry Correction : We can adjust the height of your eyelid creases to ensure they are even and symmetrical, creating a more natural and balanced look.
- High-Fold Correction : For those with unnaturally large or “bug-eyed” creases, we can reduce the size of the fold by carefully removing excess skin, fibrous tissue, and fat from the inner eyelid. This creates a more natural and subtle crease.
- Epi-Up Canthoplasty : To achieve a more open, round-eyed look, this technique modifies the inner corner of the eye, adjusting the angle to a 45-degree angle to create a new, more balanced crease line.
How to Tell if You Have Ptosis
Many people don’t realize they have ptosis, and a standard double eyelid surgery might not fix the root of the problem, leading to the need for a revision. Pay attention to these signs:
- Difficulty opening your eyes
- Frequent eye rubbing
- Drooping eyelids
- A perpetually sleepy appearance
If you experience these symptoms, we recommend a consultation with an oculoplastic surgeon for an accurate diagnosis and effective solution.
Preparing for Eyelid Surgery or Revision
To ensure a safe and smooth procedure, please follow these guidelines:
- Stop taking vitamins, supplements, and aspirin at least two weeks before your surgery.
- Avoid wearing makeup or applying facial creams on the day of the procedure.
- Do not drive yourself home after the surgery.
