Who needs blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)?
Blepharoplasty corrects the upper eyelid, lower eyelid, or both by removing excess skin, accumulated fat, and tightening muscles. It improves the eye area's appearance, removes upper eyelid heaviness, and treats under-eye puffiness — performed for cosmetic reasons or to improve vision when drooping eyelids obstruct the visual field.
Is fat transfer to the face safe and what are the results?
Fat transfer to the face is very safe as it uses the patient's own fat, eliminating rejection and allergy risk. It fills hollow areas and corrects volume deficiencies in the cheeks, lower face, and under-eye region. Fat survival rates range from 40-60%, and retained fat provides lasting volume correction.
What is a lip lift and how does it differ from lip fillers?
A lip lift surgically shortens the philtrum (distance between nose and upper lip), revealing more tooth show and creating a youthful appearance. Its effect is permanent. Lip fillers add temporary volume and definition. A lip lift is better for those with a significantly elongated philtrum contributing to an aged appearance.
What techniques are available for jawline and chin contouring?
Jawline and chin contouring encompasses filler injections for temporary definition, chin augmentation with implants (prostheses) or fat, masseter Botox for square jaw slimming, and neck and facial liposuction. Combining techniques achieves comprehensive facial frame balance.
Surgical or non-surgical brow lift — which is better?
The answer depends on the degree of brow ptosis and patient age. Botox provides temporary gentle elevation lasting 3-6 months. Thread lifts offer a longer option. Surgery provides permanent, more pronounced lifting — the optimal choice for advanced cases. Your surgeon recommends the appropriate approach after clinical assessment.
