Wondering if canthoplasty would be the solution to the outer corners of my eyes to avoid getting heavy
Blepharoplasty vs canthoplasty
Oct 28, 2019
Oct 28, 2019
Hi and thank you for reaching out for an opinion regarding the hooding in your upper eyelids. While a face to face examination with an Oculoplastic surgeon would be ideal, from what I can see in your photo, you have a hooded upper eyelid fold and that could be corrected with a blepharoplasty instead of a canthoplasty. A canthoplasty changes only the very corner of your eyes where the upper and lower eyelids come together and would do nothing for the upper eyelid hooding.At times, the h...
Hoping insurance will cover either blepharoplasty or a brow lift. Does it appear significant enough to
When does insurance cover eyelid lift surgery and brow lift surgery
Oct 2, 2019
Oct 2, 2019
Hi Nikki and thank you for reaching out for an opinion regarding upper eyelid and brow lift surgery. Judging from your photos, you would be an excellent candidate for an elective upper blepharoplasty, but your insurance is not going to cover that surgery. Insurance criteria require that your lashes be less than 2mm from your line of vision as a result of the brow ptosis (droop), or due to the overhang of the upper fold into the line of vision, and your eyelids rest well above that. That...
Can I have pinch blepharoplasty to remove excess skin after previously having transconjunctival blepha
Lower eyelid pinch skin removal pitfalls
Oct 2, 2019
Oct 2, 2019
Hi and thank you for reaching out for an opinion regarding the possibility of lower eyelid skin removal after laser resurfacing. While skin removal can be done safely when there is excess skin, skin removal can also lead to complications such as: incomplete eyelid closure, dry eyes, sclera show and corneal damage. Your photos do not reveal the presence of excess skin, all I can see is a couple of creases and fine lines. So I would recommend against skin excision, pinch or otherwise, in you...
Would CO2 fractional laser + Botox or blepharoplasty help for creepy and hooded upper eyelids?
Upper blepharoplasty is the answer
Sep 28, 2019
Sep 28, 2019
Hi and thank you for reaching out for an opinion regarding your upper eyelid rejuvenation. While CO2 or erbium laser resurfacing would improve the wrinkles and texture of your upper folds, this would not be enough to improve the hooding of your eyelids. A blepharoplasty would be ideal for you, better yet I’d done with a laser. It would tighten the folds and remove the wrinkly skin altogether, giving you the rejuvenated look you desire. Find a reputable Oculoplastic surgeon to do this surgery...
Is it possible to only have 1 upper eyelid corrected to even out the eyes or is a more comprehensive p
One eyelid surgery
Sep 19, 2019
Sep 19, 2019
Hi and thank you for reaching out for an opinion regarding the one side where the upper eyelid fold is lower. The reason that the right upper fold is lower is that the brow on that side is also lower, so the space between the brow and the lashes is shorter, causing the fold to be lower. One eyelid blepharoplasty is possible, and should be less expensive that having both done. That said, doing both sides at once provides for a rebalancing of the two folds that doing one side only does not. Sc...
Is lateral canthoplasty revision possible?
Revisions to eyelid surgery of this nature are easier early
Sep 14, 2019
Sep 14, 2019
Hi and thank you for reaching out for an opinion regarding your recent canthoplasty. Although you are still slightly swollen in the photo, if you and your surgeon agree that an improvement to the lower eyelid position is necessary, now is the time to correct it, before scarring makes this position more permanent and more difficult to change. Best wishes, Dr Pacheco
Should I get blepharoplasty to adjust only the outer corner of eye?
Blepharoplasty vs brow lift for lateral hooding of the upper eyelids
Sep 11, 2019
Sep 11, 2019
Hi and thank you for reaching out for an opinion regarding the lateral hooding of your beautiful eyelids.
Since your eyebrows are in perfect position naturally, and arch laterally in the perfect upward sway, I would recommend a nice skin-only blepharoplasty and not a brow lift. Placing your eyebrows higher as their full time resting risks making you look surprised.
