When Evading Tax Have Eyelid Surgery

That's what Gwynneth Lester, a British resident has done.

The cheeky Portsmouth resident owes the Gosport Borough Council £1,200 and now refuses to pay the amount citing her £6,000 worth of cosmetic surgery procedures as the reason she is unable to pay.

Lester had an eyelid surgery to lift her upper lids and a breast augmentation and lift to take care of her saggy breasts. Two cosmetic procedures that are well liked by individuals of her age (59), having them despite her money problems brings no regret or remorse for the woman.

Gwynneth vehemently declared, "I'm not going to pay the money, I couldn't anyway I've just spent more than £6,000 on some cosmetic improvements and I don't have any money now.

Now I understand that women love looking good, especially 59-year-old women, but using your tax money to fund your eyelid surgery procedure and then going underground is a little too desperate in my opinion.

Thankfully, you won't have to worry too much about your finances for an eyelid surgery in California. At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, we can help you work out your finances for your blepharoplasty.

Whether you want to have an eyelid surgery in Los Angeles or any other cosmetic surgery, experienced consultants at our advanced surgical institute can help you - without you needing to go underground!

Emmy Nominee Kyra Sedgwick On Eyes & Beauty

When she was 28, an agent had informed Kyra Sedgwick that she was too old.

Today, the youngest Emmy nominee for lead actress in a drama series (The Closer), Kyra is a mellowed and dreamy 42-year-old. The mother of two is absolutely secure with her aging body and claims that she is well past the Hollywood obsession with youth, adding that it has been put to rest by the industry as well.

Kyra says, "I just think that we're tired of seeing just these young bodies and young people."

But women, however at ease and confident they may be, have a tendency to give in to momentary insecurity where looks are concerned. It happens to the best of them and Kyra is no exception.

Regardless of the other changes in her body she is finding pleasing as the years go by, her eyelids are one aspect of her face Kyra is finding hard to deal with.

There is a chance she might be considering a cosmetic procedure like eyelid surgery if its gets tougher, which is not a bad idea. Many women in this age group get a blepharoplasty to take care of crinkles at the corner of the eyes and saggy skin.

Kyra herself admits that she is a big believer in "whatever makes you feel better" making us wonder if she will get plastic surgery work done after all. After all, she still has a long way to go until she reaches the likes of Dame Judi Dench.

Eye Wrinkles And Johnson & Johnson

One of the common reasons for an eyelid surgery could be relieved with a little help from the baby care giant Johnson & Johnson.

A dermal filler manufactured by the organization, Evolence, has been approved by the FDA for distribution and marketing to cosmetic surgery clinics and practices. Though the product use pig tendons (bred in the U.S. and in Australia), analysts believe it would provide competition for players like Juvederm and Restylane.

Juvederm and Restylane have been eyelid surgery and cosmetic surgery fixture for a long time now with an established fan base. Both these injectables make use of hyaluronic acid, which occurs naturally in the human skin, to smooth out wrinkles and deep facial lines.

Porcine tendons and materials on the other hand, have been in use for medical devices like heart valves and while not as popular as lab-grown substances for use as fillers, are very reliable.

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California, an advanced surgical institute for treatments like blepharoplasty and other cosmetic enhancements is avidly gauging products like these. In an effort to improve our patient's plastic surgery experience, we only use products that are endorsed and approved by the FDA.

Why Politicians Love Eyelid Surgery

The caretakers are taken a bit more seriously when they take care of themselves. Nobody liked Hillary Clinton when she was looking her age- she was just a former First Lady. When she commenced campaigning for Presidency of the United States, she had to do some major image revamping before the nation cozened up to her.

Take Carla Bruni, the French president's wife for instance. No matter her avant-garde image and her colorful past, the French simply adore their first lady and for that, so does Nicolas Sarkozy. While the president himself has not really had any plastic surgery, he is believed to have triggered the resurgence of cosmetic enhancements among older men in Europe.

Four years ago, the Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi (then 67) admitted to having an eyelid surgery in an effort to prepare himself for the European elections in June that year. His makeover and blepharoplasty seemed to have worked as he won the campaign in 2004 and still enjoys the post of Prime Minister of Italy.

It maybe something to do with the eyes being the windows to the soul or simply because they are one of the best facial features you can rely on to convey your character to the opposite person. But cultivating an appearance of freshness and youth about them do have their advantages.

“Half-price Eyelid Surgery & Become A TV Star” Package – Would You Go For It?

These are fun times we are living in and in the age of reality television shows, privacy has been shot out of the window.

But that's not really a concern, at least not for the participants who know full well what they have signed the dotted line for. Cosmetic surgery reality shows have been around for quite sometime now and have cashed in on this trend and milked it for what its worth.

So when I came across this promotion for a new reality TV about plastic surgery I was not really surprised.

Europa International, a cosmetic surgery 'coordinator', is looking out for men and women who want to change their looks via eyelid surgery or any other procedure and feature in a documentary. They are offering their services at a tantalizing half-price as well.

An eyelid surgery procedure or blepharoplasty is a very attractive option for many middle age men who find the procedure better for looking younger. Considering the flagging economy in both America and Europe, such a deal might present those looking for a change with an appealing option.

Oh well, we can just watch and wait for the success/failure of this attempt at promoting plastic surgery and hope it does not distress Meryl Streep any more.

Would you ever consider a blepharoplasty offer that is anything like this though? The Plastic Surgery Institute of California would like to know your thoughts.

Busting Under-eye Bags: Cosmetically & Nutritiously

If you are in your teens or are in the 20-something age bracket where frat parties and a cool job require you to party like fauna (so nerdy), read on.

 

Some of the by-products of a rich and spoilt lifestyle are maladies like under-eye bags, red eyes, dark circles, etc. Researchers have found that such signs could signify a thyroid or kidney illness resulting in a permanent dampener on your night habits.

 

Continuous inflammation of the eyes leads to accumulation of pigment cells and as a result dark eyes. To be fair, party freaks are not the only ones to shudder at such news; desk-huggers like me face a similar dilemma due to less exercise, bad nutrition and an unhealthy poorly ventilated atmosphere.

 

The very same researchers advice us unfortunates to help our eyes by ensuring iron intake (the blood loves it) and guzzle up 2-3 litres of liquids per day.

 

Sure an eyelid surgery can help you get rid of the under-eye bags. In order to have it though you need to be above 18, have a healthy diet a couple of months before the blepharoplasty procedure and lay off smokes and drugs.

 

As the latter two things are usually what get people in the fix in the first place, it is better to start off by looking after what you ingest and how you workout. If the bags remain then get in touch with the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for a complete checkup for an eyelid surgery procedure.

 

Hugh Grant Needs An Eyelid Surgery – Desperately!

Get a load of this.

According to Elizabeth Hurley, one-time flame of Hugh Grant, "He's like Austin Powers: Everyone worships him". Quite a powerful statement from an ex-girlfriend and one of the original sizzlers in British showbiz, this.

Hugh Grant was looking anything but a chick-magnet when he was photographed escorting Princess Rosario Nadal of Bulgaria a couple of days back.

For a man whose dapper looks have won scores of female hearts all over the world, 47-year-old Hugh has sadly let his face go. Droopy eyes have given him the typical hang-dog looks that come with a lavish and affluent lifestyle.

Rather than going for a complete face lift, Hugh ought to have an eyelid surgery that will remedy this problem. An upper eyelid lift will do the job very well and could shave off more than a couple of years off his face.

Surprisingly Hugh has maintained his lanky physique removing the need for a body lift or the occasional tucks actors his age are known to have.

An eyelid surgery procedure is very handy for those aged forty and above like Hugh Grant. Wrinkles begin to gain prominence at this age and remedying them temporarily with cosmetic surgery treatments like Botox is not going to work in the long run.

Antibacterial Sutures And Your Eyelid Surgery

Usually individuals above the age group of 30 are the favored patrons of an eyelid surgery procedure. Sagging upper lids and baggy lower lids are very common reasons why people in this age group opt for a blepharoplasty.

Sadly, it also makes most of these individuals susceptible to contracting an infection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus better known as MRSA or simply 'staph'. At worst, an infection caused by this bacterium can be fatal.

One case of staph infection spread from the eyelid of a 52-year-old patient to the back of the eye and within a short period of time rendered his eye useless.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we maintain the best healthcare services and hygiene practices- two very effective safeguards against an infection of staph. In addition, we make use of Antibacterial Sutures which have been in use for killing off staph bacteria at the site of the incision itself for quite sometime.

Removing staph at the root level is crucial for the prevention of its spread and these sutures make it possible. Developed by Ethicon, division of the trusted medical equipment brand Johnson & Johnson Ltd., Antibacterial Sutures attack the germs at the root level.

Besides, at our advanced surgical institute we also follow an exhaustive screening process to eliminate those eyelid surgery candidates who are at a high level of risk as well. Get an appointment with us to know more about eyelid surgery procedures and how you can dodge an infection.

Kenny Rogers’ Bad Gamble - Eyelid Surgery

Slow news days are no good for anything and anyone and almost always lead to flashbacks. So what better way to have an eyelid surgery flashback then talk about yester-year country music cowboy Kenny Rogers!

 

Seventy eight-year-old Rogers famously went in pursuit of youth and was ridiculed for his efforts. His combination face lift and eyelid surgery procedure left many a male celebrity asking their cosmetic surgeons to keep off from making them look like him.

 

There is even a hilarious website called MenWhoLookLikeKennyRogers.com for the surprising few who do want to look like him and want to get notorious for it! Now that really kicked off my day real good.

 

But on a serious note, Kenny himself admitted to making a bad decision with his blepharoplasty. He told People, "Last year I had so many lines coming in at the side of my eyes up here. So I went in and got my eyes done, and I'm not happy about it. (The surgeon) is going to go in and fix that for me. They're too tight around the eyelids for me. It drives me crazy."

 

The best way to avoid a case like Rogers' is to consult with your surgeon beforehand the pros and cons of any cosmetic modification and enhancement. Your doctor will be in a better position to advise you on the extent of change you need to go in for.

Blepharoplasty And The US Economy Graph

The US economy is still a concern months after a real estate agent blamed it for her reduced visits to a botox specialist.

The truth of the matter seems to be the ever-present threat from Medicare and insurance firms which do not favor cosmetic surgery reimbursement. However, it would be better to point out that a surgery like eyelid surgery, despite its popularity among men, is not really bound to be that affected by the downward slope.

The main reason being the nature of the surgery which sets it apart from major procedures like breast augmentation or a face lift. An eyelid surgery procedure is at best a less complex surgery and the finances needed to fund a treatment are accordingly, less.

Thus, patients can expect a comfortable financial situation with different eyelid surgery procedures like an eye lift surgery, upper and lower lid surgery, laser eyelid correction and brow lifts.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, our finance advisors can even help you out with a combination package that will fit your budget and get you a face lift surgery as well. The economy may be hurting, but your wallet need not take the blow.

The Anti-Martha Stewart – Does She Need An Eye Lift?

Padma Lakshmi, the former Indian supermodel jokingly calls herself that and you couldn’t be less surprised given her indifferent attitude towards beauty and bohemian outlook she has on things around her. After all, she is the only model to flaunt her scars and mark it as something to be proud of!

Currently, this exotic beauty is a judge and host for Top Chef and is adding noticeably to her impressive portfolio which favors cooking and the culinary arts.

It is easy to dismiss her off as a beautiful woman without any predilection for cosmetic enhancement. However, a closer look reveals eyes that seem slightly wonky and mismatched.

Asymmetry in the eyes is possible to fix with eyelid surgery and Padma could have opted for enhanced eyelids to frame her dark kohl eyes better with a slight nip and lift. Plastic surgeons can manipulate the muscles and fatty deposits in the eyelid area to create eyes that appear more pleasing and in this case, in symmetry with each other.

Of course, if asymmetry is something you feel is vital for your sense of beauty then you can cheerfully say no to a blepharoplasty and get some makeup tips from your beautician. The cool thing about a cosmetic surgery procedure like eyelid surgery however, is the more permanent solution it gives you to maintain younger looking eyes.

Check out the options we have at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California to enhance your eyes better than Padma.

Brow Lift Surgery Alert – New Surgical Adhesive Approved

Surgical wounds and scars warrant a lot of care on part of the plastic surgeon and the patient and hence suturing the wounds properly is a very important part of the operation process.

If the scars are in proximity to the visible parts of the face in any face surgery procedure, it becomes crucial that the sutures used to hold the wound are quickly dissolvable and less prominent. For an eyelid surgery procedure like brow lift or a browplasty, the scars are generally placed in the hairline of the patient.

However, if the cosmetic surgery patient has a receding hairline or a broad forehead, surgeons make the incisions just above the eyebrows resulting in relatively visible scars. The use of BioGlue, a new development in surgical adhesives, could prove to be better at concealing these incisions.

CryoLife, the manufacturer of this sealant claims that it creates a mechanical seal that is flexible and is different from the inherent clotting mechanism of the patient. In a remarkably small amount of time (20-30 seconds) the seal is created and within 3 minutes it reaches its maximum bonding strength.

Most doctors won’t really tell you about the brand of sealant they use to fix your blepharoplasty or browplasty, but it’s good to know the options currently available. Suffice to say, the Plastic Surgery Institute of California is up-to-date with the latest in eyelid surgery and plastic surgery techniques and research.

Eyelid Surgery And The ‘Electra’-fying Sexiness Kit

If there’s anything Carmen Electra hasn’t done or tried then this is the time and space to spill it out.

Just do a run-up of her bio and you’ll see that her hotness has left nothing untried. From being featured thrice in Playboy to being the founder of the Naked Women’s Wrestling League, Carmen has had her share of thrills.

In this month’s edition of Cosmopolitan Carmen advices women to never-ever stay without a ‘sexiness kit’ which according to her must contain perfume, lip gloss and a pair of heels. The item Carmen seems to have missed out on is cosmetic surgery.

Various cosmetic surgery procedures have been undertaken by this 36-year-old with a breast augmentation admitted to very candidly. The eyelid surgery she is believed to have had to give her eyes an upward slant is perhaps her next most obvious plastic surgery.

This blepharoplasty procedure is primarily a cosmetic surgery technique and gives the patient aesthetically pleasing results. Canthoplasty or canthopexy techniques are the eyelid surgery procedures cosmetic surgeons apply to lend a feline appearance to the eyes.

Canthoplasty is the more invasive surgery of the two however and involves skin shortening and tightening to a larger extent. Canthopexy on the other hand, yields a more cosmetic aspect to the operated eyes and is possibly what Carmen had.

Your Eyelid Implant Options – Weigh Them Carefully

Last month I had posted in a brief about gold weight eyelid implants. Here’s a follow up on some more options out there for a patient who’s thinking of a reconstructive eyelid surgery.

Eyelid implants are actually ophthalmic surgical devices and have been proven to benefit individuals suffering from facial nerve palsy (the effects drift to the eyes in some cases). Certain debilitating eyelid conditions like ocular exposure associated with Bell’s palsy and ptosis too find relief with the use of eyelid implants in a corrective blepharoplasty.

Besides gold weight eyelid implants, platinum eyelid implants too are effective options for the patient especially for those sensitive to gold. The density of platinum being 11 percent higher than gold, the patient’s eyes can achieve a smaller implant profile.

Cost-wise, platinum eyelid implants are obviously the more expensive option as compared to gold. But if the eyelid surgery doctor feels platinum will benefit you better take his advice.

Ophthalmologists and plastic surgeons are known to make use of ePTFE which is actually expanded Poly Tetra Fluoro Ethylene in cases of severe ptosis and a weak levator muscle (found in the upper eyelid).

Tantalum, a lustrous and highly corrosion-resistant metal, is also used for treating lagophthalmos caused due to temporary facial paralysis or Bell’s palsy. Tantalum implants are external however and provide the patient with a satisfying non-invasive option.

I am still on the lookout for more implants used for corrective eyelid surgery procedures and shall keep updating this space as I come across them. For an appointment with us you can drop by the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

Brigitte Nielsen’s Eyelift On TV – To Watch Or Not To Watch?

This Danish actress burst into the glamour business in the ‘80’s movie Red Sonja with her blond Slavic look and killer body.

As Brigitte’s star waxed brighter she added to the image by having a string of lovers and husbands- all successful and very handsome. Many would agree though that Brigitte’s latest stint with show business is yet another ploy to stay in the spotlight.

Forty-four-year-old Brigitte is all set to appear in a reality show on plastic surgery that will air on a German TV channel. One of the cosmetic surgery procedures slated to be performed on her is an eyelift, a variation of eyelid surgery.

While it is commendable that the former wife of Sylvester Stallone wants to break taboos about cosmetic surgery, I am left wondering just how realistic she is about her eyelid surgery procedure and her other surgeries. She wants to shave off 15 years from her face and body!

An eyelift or a blepharoplasty is excellent at this age though and has helped many men and women in their mid-forty’s get younger-looking eyes. At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we have a variety of eyelid surgery procedures that can work on the upper and lower lids separately or together.

While I don’t think I shall be watching Bridgette’s latest foray into reality TV, I am definitely anticipating her new look and whether she will be winning Playboy’s cover again.

Laser Your Eyelid With Care

Laser beams have to be administered in a highly controlled manner and environment when applied for cosmetic surgery purposes. This is something that an Australian plastic surgeon failed to consider though and is now facing charges from patients whose surgeries are believed to have been botched.

Eyelid surgery traditionally involves plastic surgery performed in the upper eyelid and lower eyelid of a patient. This surgery leaves scars nonetheless and can be expensive depending on the procedure you opt for.

Laser blepharoplasty on the other hand involves eyelid rejuvenation sans scars and yields results similar to a traditional blepharoplasty. But make sure you have selected a cosmetic surgeon who understands your needs unlike the doctor mentioned above.

In a laser eyelid surgery treatment, plastic surgeons generally put the patient under a general anesthetic. It is not a completely noninvasive procedure though as the laser device is used to make a cut in the upper eyelid. Fat and droopy skin is discarded from this area.

Similarly in the lower eyelid, a barely evident incision is made on the inside of the eyelid and the excess eye bag causing fat is removed. The laser device resurfaces the lower eyelid skin and pulls it tighter achieve a tauter look.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we offer laser eyelid surgery procedures. The treatments are meted out in surgical facilities that have been accredited by the AAAHC.

See Better With Gold Weight Eyelid Implants

Gold weight eyelid implants play a very reliable role in reconstructive eyelid surgery.

Used to treat paralytic lagophthalmos (a complication of facial nerve palsy), gold weight implants are steps plastic surgeons take to prevent blindness and corneal ulceration and exposure. As compared to lubricants and taping the eyelids, this blepharoplasty procedure has proved to be more effective.

Gold is the material of choice for this reconstructive plastic surgery because of its affinity to practically any skin tone. The fact that it is easy to manipulate and insert and has a high density contribute further to its reliability.

Plastic surgeons can relax the levator muscle which is responsible for lifting the eyelid from the eye using gold weight implants. Available commercially, the eyelid surgeon selects the implant weight that will be able to achieve the eyelid correction and tapes it to the upper eyelid in a trial procedure.

This preoperative procedure is standard practice and is necessary to ensure patient safety and comfort post-surgery. The actual blepharoplasty procedure is later performed under local anesthesia.

The good thing about this eyelid surgery procedure is that the gold weight implant can be removed incase of any complication (very rare) very easily. Normally, after the eyelid has resumed its normal function, the implant is removed.

The application of gold weight eyelid implants in reconstructive blepharoplasty is approved by the FDA. There are specific manufacturers of these devices however which can be trusted.

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California can help you learn more about this rejuvenating eyelid surgery.

Enhance Your Eyes With Body Fat

No need to get icky.

Fat transfer techniques used in eyelid surgery procedures are quite common and have been performed by plastic surgeons successfully for years now. Also known as fat grafting or free fat transfer, this cosmetic surgery technique is splendid for dispelling under-eye hollows.

A lot of men like this procedure as it involves minimum fuss and takes a bit of the load off from the beer belly (a small amount is enough to feel lighter).

This eyelid surgery procedure presents the plastic surgery candidate with a wonderful way to develop volume in the under-eye area using fat cells from their own bodies. Transferred fat can be replaced very easily and accumulates every time the procedure is performed.

Yes, you will need a repeat surgery if you want to maintain the look, but the good thing is the effects last for about three years. On the downside, some patient bodies retain the facial fat for only three months so you will need to talk with your cosmetic surgeon about how this blepharoplasty procedure will benefit you.

What you have to remember about using fat from your own body in your eyelid area is that it makes you less susceptible to infections and allergies. Often with collagen or Botox patients are known to experience adverse effects.

It’s All In The Eyes…

To their credit plastic surgeons keep droning on about this fundamental fact.

The latest edition of the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery journal of the ASPS though, just bought the message home for us.

Strangely enough, the study found that certain simulated eyelid surgery effects which are supposed to give the impression of alertness and youth held the same impact as a tired, sad or a happy face.

But what the study also points out is that the degree of plastic surgery work performed on the eyelid surgery candidate needs to be very controlled especially when modification of the eyebrows is also involved.

The positioning of the eyebrows is a tremendous influence on how the opposite person perceives the mood of the eyelid surgery patient. Viewers were presented with simulated eyebrow lift effects and were found to have increased their ratings when the brows were lowered or pulled towards the nose. Anger and disgust were the main perceptions derived by the onlookers.

One of the good things about this study is the amount of control it exhorts the plastic surgeon to take when performing a blepharoplasty. There really is no need of going for a dynamic modification of any of your eyelids as a more natural result will be possible now with careful trimming.

Understand more at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

Eyelid Surgery Satisfaction

The good thing about any cosmetic surgery for the facial area is that the effects are noticed the first time someone looks at you. The bad thing about such surgeries is that if the cosmetic surgery gets botched for some reason or another, it’s still going to be the first thing someone notices.

Its one thing to be displeased with any unavoidable results of an eyelid surgery, and quite another to be unhappy because the surgery results didn’t go as planned. It plainly shows that the patient either had unrealistic expectations or was simply not prepared well for the surgery.

Richard Goode, professor of otolaryngology at Stanford University, advises plastic surgeons in his article for a facial surgery journal saying that plastic surgeons can deal with disgruntled cosmetic surgery patients by simply not operating on them.

Nonetheless, in order for an eyelid surgeon to do this the surgeon needs to identify which patients can be avoided. This is where the consultation process comes in.

The initial consultation which patients have for a blepharoplasty procedure is something of an ice-breaker for the doctor and the patient. The expectations of the patients from the eyelid surgery procedure, the surgeon’s suggestions, the technicalities and potential complications that may arise, etc. are analyzed during this process.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we understand this vital step and provide you with the best eyelid surgery specialists and surgeons to help you out.

Models And The Things They Do To Look Even Better

You won’t come across a more eccentric group of people then your regular high-flying model. When it comes to trends, they are the poster-boys and girls for the latest one and thanks to their social immunity they are allowed to get away with anything and everything.

So when Whitney Thompson turned the tables on the skinny model stereotype and won America’s Next Top Model, she got tongues wagging and when Naomi Campbell stuck on false eyelashes she started a trend. And everybody knows Agyness Deyn’s Kate Moss-like similarity- they are practically sisters in terms of glamor and individuality.

But it always comes as a surprise when models resort to plastic surgery procedures like face lift surgery or eyelid surgery or even liposuction. I mean, isn’t the whole point of modeling supposed to be wonderfully glam and naturally fab-looking? Agents don’t usually pick out models that are bad-looking or plain.

So when Alex Girdwood a contestant competing for Australia’s Next Top Model title went and had lip augmentation she was instantly derided for her attitude towards her body.

Has the pressure to look good gotten hold of models as well? And more importantly, what kind of a message are they sending out to cosmetic surgery sensitive teens out there, many of whom aspire for a career in the beauty business?

Get your views across to the Plastic Surgery Institute of California- an advanced surgical institute for eyelid surgery and other cosmetic surgery procedures.

Eyelid Surgery For An Augmented Kelly Rowland

Kelly Rowland recently gave an interview where she spoke about her belated breast implants and her mom’s clever way of handling teenage Kelly’s cosmetic surgery dreams.

When she was seventeen-years-old Kelly apparently wanted a breast augmentation to get her A-cups enlarged to B-cups. But mommy emphatically said a no and told her to wait till she got older and stopped developing.

The result was a Kelly who waited till she filled in properly and then just worked on the places that didn’t. But did she have plastic surgery done in more than one place?

Her eyes look different in her more recent pictures and are decidedly smaller in size. She could have had a blepharoplasty to get eyes that look smaller then the doe-eyed ones she had earlier.

This eyelid surgery procedure works like a reverse Asian blepharoplasty and instead of adding a crease to the upper eyelid it restructures the eyelid muscles and reduces them at specific points. The plastic surgeon can accordingly make the patient’s eyes appear smaller and more cat-like (if the patient wishes).

Incidentally, very few patients of African-American ethnicity go in for an eyelid surgery to get smaller eyes unless there are corrections of any kind involved. Most of them prefer to preserve their ethnic characteristics or simply enhance them.

But if you are confused about what eyelid surgery procedure is good for you, you can drop by the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for a thorough consultation.

An Overenthusiastic Approach To Eyelid Surgery : Results

The great thing about eyelid surgery is the way in which the eyes are supposed to look alert and make you look younger, etc.

So why hasn’t it worked for Donatella?

Accepted that her look at Maddona’s movie premier for her documentary on Malawi was a complete albeit pleasant surprise, but the face spoils it all.

One of the many plastic surgery jobs she is said to have had done on her face is an eyelid surgery. But in itself, Donatella’s blepharoplasty doesn’t look all that bad.

What makes it look bad is the accompanying face surgeries she is believed to have had. Her collagen heavy lips and enhanced nose give the viewer the impression that the plastic surgeon distributed his attention rather haphazardly to her face.

If eyelid surgery becomes part of a face lift surgery procedure, then you better make sure that you have a doctor who understands the dynamics of the human face properly performing on your face. The various features that need to be restructured or altered during a composite plastic surgery procedure have to be done so only by an expert.

Indeed, an expert cosmetic surgeon is the best person to trust to get the job done right.

From the looks of Donatella’s overdone face, the cause of her jumbled features is either a plastic surgeon who doesn’t know his job properly or an overenthusiastic Donatella who decided to go all out!

Nicole And Her Controversial Face

She is still one of my favorite actors and no amount of catty gossip about her can lessen my admiration for this Australian beauty.

Nicole Kidman, currently pregnant and extremely radiant mommy-to-be has been time and again faced a lot of flak about plastic surgery work done to her face. Everything from Botox to eyelid surgery and a face lift have been hinted at by various groups at various times.

While the exasperating thing is Nicole has refrained from confirming any rumor, the likelihood of her having had cosmetic surgery cannot be dismissed.

The brow lift, generally an eyelid surgery accompaniment, can be acquired non-invasively by using injectables like Botox. However, some cases of Botox administration in the brow area can leave the person with a phenomenon called a ‘Botox brow’.

A Botox brow lends an unnatural arch to the brow line lifting it higher than the middle part of the brow. If you have noticed some of Nicole Kidman’s pictures closely you can see this. Sexy housewives, Teri Hatcher and Marcia Cross also have sported this occurrence time and again.

To avoid the Botox brow select a plastic surgeon skilled at eyelid surgery procedures like a brow lift or a trained cosmetologist who is certified to administer Botox. A Botox brow can make your face look rather static.

Thankfully for Nicole, pregnancy has softened her looks considerably.

You Don’t Need To Live With Amblyopia

Who would have thought that Leanne Nagle was an awkward kid with an awkward-er face and today has been selected as a contestant competing for Britain’s Next Top Model?

Sleek brunette locks frame Leanne’s creamy face, from which peer out two ash-grey eyes, one of which was affected by a condition called lazy eye. A lazy eye or amblyopia is an eye condition that is found occurring in children due to a number of different reasons.

Some common reasons for amblyopia are strabismus (strabismic amblyopia) which makes the person with the condition squint, anisometropic amblyopia, ametropic amblyopia and stimulus deprivation amblyopia. These conditions in turn are caused by other factors.

The best way to treat amblyopia is by making the child wear a patch on the good eye or using vision therapy to cure the affected eye. Certain eye drops can also help the effected eye.

If amblyopia is caused by a squint or due to a cataract, then eye surgery is required. An eyelid surgery on the other hand, will not be of much help and will only be useful if the upper eyelid of the person is causing the eye to close unnaturally.

Jessica Alba’s Mommy Eyes

She is undoubtedly one of the cutest moms-to-be Hollywood could ever flaunt but Jessica Alba is not letting all the hype surrounding her pregnancy get to her. She still steps out dressed comfortably doing all the normal things a mom does (shop, watch Supernanny with Jo Frost, look pregnant and pretty, etc.).

However, she does feel the stress at times. In an interview for this month’s Fit Pregnancy she relates that her eyes glaze over with exhaustion by the time she is done with the day. With her pregnancy date looming closer, Alba’s situation is understandable.

While Jessica doesn’t rule out having cosmetic surgery to get back in shape after pregnancy, she has so far, surprisingly stayed away from the plastic surgeon’s knife. Unlike many of her contemporaries that is.

This 27-year-old actress has beautiful eyes though. If you have looked closely, they have a soft, sleepy look about them but are yet wide-set making for an interesting combination.

An eyelid surgery to get Jessica’s dreamy eyes would require work done mainly on the upper eyelid. Skilled plastic surgeons can arrange the muscles in the upper eyes to create a unique look like Alba.

The results may not be exact, but that is mainly because of the difference in facial structure. At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we can help you get your eyelids altered to give you a new look with a blepharoplasty procedure.

Eyelid Burns – What To Do About Them

Did you know- around 15-20 percent of burns involving the face include damage to one eye at least? A chemical eyelid burn is especially to be feared as it could cause permanent damage to the lid tissue which even eyelid surgery cannot correct.

When a chemical burn penetrates beyond the cornea conditions like cataract and glaucoma are known to develop. Fire accounts for most of the accidents involving the eyelids though and prolonged exposure to the source of heat might very well completely burn out the eyelid skin.

Eyelid surgery using corrective techniques is one of the best solutions for treating burns that leave the outer area of the eye damaged. Sometimes plastic surgeons may be required to perform additional plastic surgery procedures like forehead flaps, nose surgery, facial skin grafting and dermabrasion procedures.

The first thing you have to remember when you are considering plastic surgery to treat eyelid burns is to make sure your plastic surgeon is experienced with reconstructive eyelid surgery. Such an expert is better equipped to deal with blepharoplasty surgery in an emergency.

Recovery may involve a difficult and painful process for the patient and it is best to stay in constant touch with the cosmetic surgeon during this period.

Eyelid Surgery For The Christina Ricci Look

Her eyes brought the deadpan Wednesday Addams’ character to life in The Addams Family and made her a children’s favorite. Ever since then Christina Ricci has effortlessly managed to portray a gamut of characters that are distinguished for surrealistic and stark humanity.

Ricci’s eyes dominate her face and frequently dominate the characters she plays as well. In The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, she was the girl-child Katrina who radiated a quiet innocence cloaked in intelligence. Her role of a deranged nymphomaniac in Black Snake Moan added plausibility to the role.

So what does it take to get Christina Ricci’s look?

For one, you have to be as amazing an actress as she is. But since that’s not really possible as she is quite the paragon, you can think of a plastic surgery procedure like eyelid surgery.

An Asian blepharoplasty in particular, is able to sculpt the lower and upper eyelid of a patient to create wide set eyes. Individuals of Asian ethnicity generally are the ones who undergo this eyelid surgery procedure for a face that looks more Western or Occidental.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California skilled plastic surgeons perform special blepharoplasty procedures for those who want to change their eyelid structure without losing out on the appeal of their face.

Have You Got Your Eyelid Surgery Questionnaire Sorted?:

Consultation is one of the most important preliminary steps that an eyelid surgery candidate needs to take. During the consultation process, the patient and plastic surgeon are presented with an opportunity to get to know the surgery details better.

For a potential blepharoplasty patient, this is the chance to ask the eyelid surgeon questions pertaining to his experience as a surgeon, his certification, the accreditation of the facility where the surgery will be conducted, etc.

From the point of view of the plastic surgeons, an eyelid surgery patient can expect questions pertaining to the medical history and motivations for the surgery. Lifestyle habits are another area that plastic surgeons pay attention to.

For best results, ask the eyelid surgery specialist to show you before and after pictures of past patients to get a better idea about what to expect. Once the plastic surgeon has deduced the extent of work required on the eyelid area, he will give you an impression of the results expected after the surgery.

After this, the patient can discuss the costs and estimates of the eyelid surgery and understand the complications (if any) involved in the surgery. This consultation process gives a better idea about the blepharoplasty procedure and helps the candidate to understand the cosmetic surgery procedure better.

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California can help you out with consultation services and procedures for eyelid surgery in Beverly Hills and elsewhere in California.

Eyelid Surgery Restrictions – Break Away:

A couple of years back, Dove conducted a study in the Middle East as part of its global Campaign for Real Beauty. The results that came out left me bemused about how much (very high) these women who live behind a veil value and view personal beauty.

The study discovered that wearing a post-surgery dressing after a plastic surgery procedure is considered to be something of a status symbol among the residents of this part of the world. At least 9 out of 10 Arab women expressed unhappiness with their appearance.

Thirty seven percent Arab girls (aged 15-17) admitted that they were likely to consider cosmetic surgery in the near future. Arab women in the spotlight like Haifa Wehbe and Nancy Ajram, a Lebanese singer are held to be examples of modern freethinking women and unapologetic proponents of plastic surgery.

Among the wide gamut of cosmetic surgery procedures demanded by women from this part of the world, eyelid surgery was reported to be one of the more popular surgeries. What do you think could be the reason for this?

As is common knowledge, the abaya- a caftan-like dress worn by Arab women, covers their body and leaves only the eyes uncovered or partially covered. It is understandable then that these women would wish to make their eyes as attractive as could be possible. If a blepharoplasty surgery can accomplish this feminine wish than small wonder it is popular.

What do you think? Is this a good reason to have an eyelid surgery procedure? The Plastic Surgery Institute of California would love to know.
