Answer Snippet

Eyelid Ptosis or Eyebrow Ptosis After Double Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid Ptosis or Eyebrow Ptosis After Double Eyelid Surgery
Jul 28, 2011

You have left upper eyelid ptosis and this is evident because: 1) Increased fold height in the left eye; 2) decreased iris, also known as color aspect of the eye, that is being shown in the left eye; 3) a full or complete eye elevation on the right. You could tell that the left eye is slightly lowered than the right. Therefore, ptosis revision is needed. You do not have to wait three months for ptosis revision. The reason is that the more you wait, the more scar formation occurs, since…

Taping the Eyelid Skin for Lagophtalmos- Can This Cause Eyebrows to Droop?

Lagophthalmos After Double Eyelid Surgery
Jul 6, 2011

For a 19-year-old to have a small lagophthalmos after double eyelid surgery is not uncommon and it usually goes away after a few weeks with or without tape. Therefore, taping was not completely necessary. The reason why your brow feels heavy is that, because the double eyelid surgery clears any excess skin that hoods over, you now would not have to use you brow to elevate the excess skin. You should feel the brow descending and this is just a sensation that your brow is now low in position….

Anatomy of Asian Eyelids

Eyelashes Move Up When a Crease is Made
Jul 6, 2011

You have made a good observation in that a person without double eyelids will have eyelashes that are aiming down. Also, not only would the eyelashes be aiming down, but if there is excess upper eyelid skin pushing down against the eyelashes, then it can also cause irritation to the cornea or irritation in sensation. However, by having a double eyelid surgery the eyelashes move up. One can think of the mechanism as a blanket that is just hanging versus somebody pushing that blanket in. Then…

Options for Enlargement of Asian Eyes

Options for Enlargement of Asian Eyes
Jun 14, 2011

You’re correct in that traditional double eyelid surgery does not make the eyes bigger. One would think that their eyes have gotten bigger after getting traditional double eyelid surgery because double eyelid surgery takes up the excess hooding on the upper eyelid. Therefore, if there was excess skin that’s covering a significant portion of the color aspect of the eye that is being shown then after the double eyelid surgery one would think that his eyes have gotten bigger since…

Brow Lift and Asian Blepharoplasty with Canthoplasty to Improve Eyelids?

Ptosis Repair with Double Eyelid Surgery Would Work
Jun 14, 2011

According to the picture, it seems like you have eyelid ptosis. A brow lift will not help and a lateral canthoplasty will not help. Your condition will be corrected by performing a ptosis repair, and by also doing double eyelid surgery to compensate for the slight excess skin that’s hooding. You do not have heavy brow and your hollowness of the lids is very characteristic for patients with eyelid ptosis.

Another thing is that lateral canthoplasty is not a good option because it…

Any Doctor Comfortable Repairing Asian Eyelid and Brow Ptosis, Including Crease?

Repairing Asian Eyelid and Brow Ptosis
Jun 14, 2011

If you have eyelid ptosis, you should not have brow ptosis, especially if you had surgery about ten years ago for congenital ptosis. If you have congenital ptosis, it means that you usually would have had surgery during your early childhood, and therefore, brow ptosis from aging would not have set in. The reason I mentioned this is that when one has ptosis, one is trying to raise their eyelids so that they also raise their brow. So often people with eyelid ptosis characteristically have an…

Best Method for Asian Double Eyelid Surgery?

Best Method for Asian Double Eyelid Surgery
Jun 13, 2011

1. The suture technique double eyelid surgery is by far superior to laser double eyelid surgery. The reason is that laser double eyelid surgery uses laser to cut the skin. There are many surgical devices that surgeons can use to cut skin in soft tissue as well as to stop bleeding. Those are either traditional electric cutter or they could even be sound wave cutter or laser. The problem with laser is that it burns and thus desiccates or dries/chars out the skin. Therefore, even though it…

Possible to Get Wider or Bigger Eyes?

Bigger or Wider Eyes
Jun 10, 2011

Yes, it is definitely possible for you to get wider or bigger eyes. From the picture, it seems like you have an epicanthal fold, also known as the Mongolian fold. This epicanthal fold is due to excess skin along the medial side, or towards the nasal side of the eye. Recent researches have shown that it is also due to excess fibrous tissue and excess superficial muscle of the eye, known as the orbicularis oculi muscle. The surgeon will be required to perform epicanthoplasty in order to make…

Incisional vs. Partial Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery

Incisional vs. Partial-incisional Double Eyelid Surgery
Jun 10, 2011

The answer should be neither, but a NON-INCISIONAL double eyelid surgery. You’re an 18-year old patient and that means you should have no or very minimal excess upper eyelid skin that needs to be removed. Most 18-year-old patients who have double eyelid surgery do not need their skin removed. What I am trying to say is that if a double eyelid surgery can be performed then your eyelid shouldn’t be any different from that of any other person who has a natural double eyelid crease…

Mild Ptosis More Complicated to Fix?

Is Mild Ptosis More Complicated to Fix?
Jun 7, 2011

It depends on how mild the ptosis is. Some ptosis is considered a mild/border line ptosis. You should also ask, is there an asymmetry or is it a bilaterally symmetric ptosis?
