How Dishy Would John Mayer Look Without His Dark Eyes?:

And no, I’m not talking about his brown eyes. I’m talking about the appearance of his eyes that seem to have bags perpetually attached to them.

Currently seen out and about with Jennifer Aniston, John Mayer is enjoying his status as the envy of most men and women as well. But the lower lids of this dreamy guitarist always look ready to nod off making me conclude that he has got the right type of ‘bedroom’ eyes.

Dark eyes and baggy lower lids can do much damage to the overall appearance of the face. In cases like Mayer, they just add to his appeal but what about the working mom who wants a change from her dreary self, or that ageing PR MD who is fighting tooth and nail to hold on to his post?

For such individuals, an eyelid surgery Newport Beach procedure can help a lot in achieving a look that appears years younger. This cosmetic surgery procedure is absolutely smashing for getting rid of the baggy lower lids as it trims the fat deposits contained within.

Cosmetic procedures that have a dermatological leaning like laser treatments can also be referred to for treating dark circles. The plastic surgeon is the one that decides the eyelid surgery Newport Beach procedure that can best help a person.

If you think you could do with some eye rejuvenation via a blepharoplasty Beverly Hills let us know about it. The Plastic Surgery Institute of California can help you out.

Hey Pretty Face! Skin Resurfacing In The Eye Region:

Did you know that Cameron Diaz had a severe acne attack when she was in her teens? She still has pockmarks on her forehead that makeup experts tactfully brush over. But Keith Richards takes the prize for the most pock-marked face ever (Hollywood-Bollywood actor Om Puri could be a second contender).

But get this, Hollywood star couple Brangelina have at one time, topped a worst skin complexion list! Now why would they be on this list instead of staying put on the best looking couple list you ask? Well, it turns out Brad had a bad case of acne as well and his mate houses scars, moles and spots on her skin.

Nobody’s perfect after all.

Thankfully there are plastic surgery procedures that do lend a semblance of perfection to men and women who are satisfied with just that. A skin rejuvenation treatment accompanied with an eyelid surgery Beverly Hills is one of the cosmetic surgery tricks used to minimize acne scars and tone up the eyes in one go.

Coronal Brow Lifts – Do You Require One?

Often, as a compounder for a face lift surgery Beverly Hills or an eyelid surgery California, plastic surgeons perform a coronal brow lift surgery.

This cosmetic surgery technique raises the brow line of the patient and accentuates the eyes that have been worked upon in an eyelid surgery California procedure. Referred to at times as a headband incision, the coronal brow lift trims off the skin just above the hairline.

Cosmetic surgeons laud this brow lift technique for its simplicity and the easy accessibility they are provided with to the forehead skin and the underlying bone and muscle. The facial anatomy of the patient requires to be studied carefully before this plastic surgery California procedure is performed.

An eyelid surgery California or a brow lift surgery gone wrong can stand out rather prominently on a person’s face. Select a top plastic surgeon that understands this part of the surgery very well and has experience in it.

For advanced coronal brow lift diagnosis and professional eyelid surgery California procedures you can get in touch with the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

Poverty, Trachoma And Blepharoplasty Beverly Hills:

According to ORBIS International, 37million people worldwide are blind but 28 million don’t have to be blind. They can get relief for their situation- if only they could afford it or were educated enough to be aware about their condition.

Trachoma, a water-related eye disease is held to be the world’s leading cause of preventable blindness and largely affects those with limited access to water and health care. A child in Sub-Sahara Africa is as much likely to suffer as a person in contact with an affected person in a first world country.

The World Health Organization report at least 6 million people who go blind due to trachoma and 150 million that are in need of treatment.

One of the results of a trachoma infection is a shortening of the upper eyelids which can cause irritation in the cornea. A corrective Blepharoplasty Beverly Hills can provide relief from this condition.

However, there is a 20 percent chance of a revival of this condition among patients particularly if post-surgery conditions are not followed. The disease is such that it can be spread from hand to hand contact and also can affect family members. You don’t have to live in an underdeveloped area to contract trachoma.

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California has treated a few cases of trachoma through corrective blepharoplasty Beverly Hills and urges you to receive treatment for this potentially harmful disease as soon as you can.

Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have about corrective eyelid surgery.

Gold Weight Eyelid Implants For Your Eyes! (Corrective Eyelid Surgery Pasadena):

Nineteen-year-old Jon Sangrey hopes to be a millionaire before he turns thirty and would want to make it in college football. On the surface, this would seem like a really good example of a regular American teenage boy dreaming about his future.

But Jon was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor two years ago and underwent rigorous treatment to treat the cancerous growth. He still goes for regular check ups to keep the cancer from returning. To take care of his affected eye muscles doctors recently inserted a gold implant in the upper lid to make it close.

Jon’s story is one of courage and determination and our advanced surgical institute is impressed by the one-time football player’s cheery outlook on his situation.

So why exactly did doctors think of gold implants in the eyelids?

Corrective eyelid surgery California adapts medically approved gold weight eyelid implants when treating a condition known as Paralytic lagophthalmos, a case stemming from facial nerve palsy complications. In Jon’s case, his cancerous tumor triggered the need for such an eyelid surgery
procedure.

Plastic surgeons use gold weights for this surgery due to its high density and relative inert nature. Its color also allows it to blend in with most skin types. A gold weight corrective eyelid surgery California can be performed under local anesthesia and includes minimal damage to the patient’s facial appearance.

The Plastic Surgery Institute of California can help you know more about this eyelid surgery California procedure if you want to help someone who’s experiencing this facial palsy complication.

Eyelid Surgery Beverly Hills And Substance Abuse – Why They Go Hand In Hand:

More than a year ago, a British teen stabbed his girlfriend 32 times while he was high on cannabis. The 15 year-old apparently got into a fit after his friends told him that his girlfriend had Aids. The traumatized girl was never the same even after plastic surgery healed her wounds.

Such teenage substance abuse cases are not isolated to Britain alone though. The National Survey on Drug Use and Health found an increase in drugs other than marijuana from 3.6 to 3.8 percent among people aged 12 and above between 2004 and 2006.

While substance abuse is a serious problem, cosmetic surgery specialists realize this none too starkly when they are brought patients who are badly in need of corrective cosmetic surgery due to physical abuse triggered by drugs. Housewives and small children form a demographic that face this social problem the most.

A corrective eyelid surgery California very often is one of the procedures necessary to treat scars across the eyes, torn lids, black eyes and burnt tissue in the eye areas. The different eyelid surgery Newport Beach techniques that are developed at our advanced surgical institute can be applied to provide relief for such unfortunate patients.

Affiliated with the ASPS and in possession of a faculty that are fellows of the ABPS, the Plastic Surgery Institute of California is a premier facility for treating cases that require a reconstructive eyelid surgery Beverly Hills.

If you know of someone who has been severely traumatized due to drug and domestic abuse and is in dire need of professional corrective blepharoplasty Beverly Hills services contact us immediately. We are experienced in dealing with cases affected by drug abuse.

Bad Eyelid Surgery California Decision – Judging Surgeons By Their Looks:

This is where scores of patients go wrong.

A patient in need of some cosmetic skin treatments went to a plastic surgeon and had an eyelid surgery California thrown in even though she did not require one. The plastic surgeon turned out to be an Australian doctor who was banned from performing cosmetic surgery due to professional misconduct.

The patient, needless to say, is currently suffering for her lack of judgment and is having trouble seeing. When I read the related article in the Herald Sun I was shocked to discover that the patient fell for the discount trap as well and had a blepharoplasty Beverly Hills because she found the doctor attractive!

In a profession like plastic surgery, where beauty and cultivating a groomed appearance is continually impressed upon, it may seem natural to think that the cosmetic surgeon that looks good is the one you should go to.

Cases like the one mentioned above are stark reminders to an eyelid surgery Los Angeles patient of the need to hold a contrary view. Exercising caution when digging up credentials on your selected plastic surgeon is mandatory in order to get satisfactory results.

Like all operations, plastic surgery too comes without fixed guarantees and assurances. Even if your plastic surgeon appears in TV shows and has a star list of clients, he will still be susceptible to some uncontrollable error. By selecting an authorized practitioner of cosmetic eyelid surgery Pasadena, you are safeguarding yourself from the error of a bad decision and ensuring that you have taken maximum precaution against any risk.

Discussing the procedure with your surgeon helps both parties understand each other properly and smoothens out the surgery process. You can visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for further advice. We provide unbiased consultations as affiliated members of the ASPS.

Baywatch Hunks And Eye Surgery:

I’m talking about the original and hunkiest of them all- David Hasselhoff, who has been receiving his fair share of attention lately for all his woes.

The German star just got back from an eye surgery performed on Monday at an LA hospital. Whether he had an eyelid surgery Beverly Hills as an aftermath to a face lift Orange County or just a simple operation is not known.

The former Baywatch actor has been on and off in the news for a possible alcohol addiction and was even rumored to have had a stint with rehab. With the difficult divorce procedure he is undergoing I can see where this seems to be headed.

Hasselhoff may not have had an eyelid surgery Newport Beach but he admits to having a shot of Botox every now and then. As long as he keeps up with the occasional shot he shouldn’t be too bad off.

However, a lot of people would prefer to go in for something more long term and organized like an eyelid surgery California. Depending on skin elasticity, the effects of a blepharoplasty Beverly Hills are known to last from several years to more.

Have you been thinking of an eyelid surgery Los Angeles lately? Step in at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for a check up and further advice.

Get Your Droopy Eyes Fixed Via Eyelid Surgery Pasadena Before You Tie The Knot:

Anyone who has seen hip-hop artist Jay-Z will agree that he is one of the miniscule male rappers that takes care about his image. When not making appearances at his energetic shows, he is usually spotted in a tux or a fitted suit looking all dapper with his arm around his gorgeous wife Beyonce.

I can safely say that Jay-Z has brought the muffler and bow tie looks a completely different twist altogether. You can see very few rappers dressed to the nines in a classic suit. Somehow his eyes always draw my attention though and make me wonder how they would look after he had an eyelid surgery California performed on them.

If you look closely, Jaz-Z has slightly droopy eyes and bags under his eyes which I feel are congenital. It’s hard to imagine a guy having a wife like Beyonce having much to stress about! Their recent marriage was fitting culmination of their long relationship (6 years!).

An eyelid surgery Los Angeles can take care of droopy upper eyelids with an eyelid lift which pulls the upper lid and snips off excess skin. For getting rid of baggy eyes, eyelid surgery Newport Beach techniques like a transconjunctival blepharoplasty Beverly Hills can do the job very well.

The results are fabulous and after the period of recovery has passed, endow the eyelid surgery Beverly Hills patient with eyes that look more alert and interesting. Check out the work done by the Plastic Surgery Institute of California and you’ll get a better idea about the procedure.

Incidentally, what do you think about Jay-Z’s sexy style? Do you think it suits him or can he do better? Jot your rants or raves here.

Blepharoplasty Beverly Hills And Male Grooming:

Hugh Jackman is the quintessential Australian movie star with his rakish looks and well-packed frame. His eyes always seem to mesmerize me though, even when they have that deranged feral look in them (remember Logan in X-Men?). The poor guy had to get his whole body waxed in order to wriggle into his leather costume for the movie that shot him straight into the limelight.

Men waxing their bodies and indulging in some serious de-hairing never fails to tickle me as it just seems like a diversion from their masculine natures. But being in the cosmetic surgery business I understand this need among men to groom themselves well.

Eyelid surgery California however, remains one of the top procedures males think about when they think of any cosmetic modification to their bodies. Research also affirms the attention older working men pay to their eyes stating that they have an eyelid surgery Pasadena to come across as less slovenly-looking then their younger counter parts.

Now Hugh Jackman may not have had an eyelid surgery Newport Beach (maybe a little Botox though), but I can think of very few men who wear their laugh lines and age as well as him.

If you doubt you can carry off the ‘Logan’ look as well as this 39 year-old heartthrob and would like to be better groomed, visit our advanced surgical institute. The Plastic Surgery Institute of California has some great offers and solutions on eyelid surgery Los Angeles procedures.

Botox® - One Injection That Won’t Make You Cry:

A neurotoxin protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum is what is rumored to be used by Victoria Beckham, Cindy Crawford and Meryl Streep to look flawlessly beautiful. Sounds corny, doesn’t it? Not really. The protein in question is what is commonly known by its trade name- Botox®.

Used to paralyze the muscles underlying facial expression by blocking nerve impulses, Botox® is used by many to achieve a more toned and smooth look Areas between the eyebrows, the outer corners of the eyes, the depressors of the lower lip and neck muscle bands are where Botox® is usually injected.

The resulting effects include reduction of frown lines and creases in the forehead, removal of crow’s feet and muscle tautening in the neck. Besides reducing the ravages of time on your face, this wonder protein also is found effective in reducing excessive sweating, relieving muscle spasms in the neck and eyes and migraine headaches.

According to recent ASPS statistics, of all the non surgical procedures available in the branch of medicine called plastic surgery, Botox® is the most popular injectable among men and women and with good reason. While cosmetic surgery entails bruises, swellings, stitches and scars and a long recovery period, a Botox® treatment is quickly done in 10 minutes. The results are noticeable within twenty-four hours. The cost of a Botox® treatment is also considerably less expensive.

With such obvious advantages, its small wonder that this injectable has so many dedicated followers. At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California we offer Botox® treatments among other injectable options like Collagen®, Restylane® and Radiesse®. With experienced and certified plastic surgeons available at our facilities in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills administering to your requirements, crying over this particular injection is a guaranteed no no.

Fibbing About Your Age With An Eyelid Surgery:

The latest Harley Medical Group reports on cosmetic surgery trends point to a surge in eyelid surgery Beverly Hills procedures in the UK, especially among older men. Analysts feel influential men like the French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Hollywood actor Michael Douglas are the ones to blame for the 25 percent raise.

Plastic surgery experts in the US like the ASPS also have noticed a similar rise in popularity of eyelid surgery Los Angeles procedures. Blepharoplasty Beverly Hills procedures have even made it to the top five procedures for men and women lists in the U.S.

So what is so special about an eyelid surgery California?

Just about everyone who has had an eyelid surgery Pasadena at our advanced surgical institute admit that it’s a fabulous and longer lasting option than having injectable fillers pumped into the face. The cosmetic procedure itself lasts for a period between one to three hours depending on the extensiveness of the procedure.

A top plastic surgeon can use different eyelid surgery Newport Beach techniques to tweak the area around the eyes for an improved look. For instance, an upper eyelid lift can lift drooping lid muscles and trim off excess skin and a lower eyelid lift can discard excess fat and tighten the lower lid muscles.

If the cosmetic surgeon deems it feasible for the patient, then minimally-incisive techniques using endoscopes (tiny cameras) to control the surgery can be used. The eyelid surgery California options are disparate and the usual results can shuck off decades of wrinkles and eye bags.

Treating childhood deformities in the eye area like strabismus, remedying eyelid protrusions like ptosis and chalazion, requests for asian blepharoplasty and even occidental eyelid surgery are entertained at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California. Come, visit us for qualified and board certified help.

Taking Care of You After Eyelid Surgery:

Plastic surgery sure does have a lot of hype surrounding it. A first consultation usually has doctors answering patient questions like- ‘Will the procedure be completed in twenty minutes?’, ‘Will I have a nurse 24/7?’, ‘Can you make me look like Brad Pitt or Jennifer Aniston?’ and more.

While you may not look like Jennifer Aniston or have a nurse at your beck while you are recuperating from a cosmetic eyelid surgery, it shouldn’t be a reason for disappointment. If the surgeon you have selected is as good as his credentials, than chances are he has already discussed the after effects of a blepharopalsty with you.

Post surgery depression is part of the bargain in most surgery cases. Whether it is a reconstructive surgery like chin augmentation or whether it may be a surgery to enhance your eyes or breasts- scars, swellings, blotches, etc. are to be expected and can be dealt with effectively. Sometimes more than one cosmetic surgery is necessary to correct certain disfigurations.

However, consult your plastic surgeon about improvement chances before going ahead with any further surgeries. Dealing with your immediate environment, exercise, diet, etc. are factors that need to be taken into account as well. For instance, doctors’ advice patients to keep the head elevated after an eyelid surgery and a facelift; while full exercise is suggested to be resumed only 4- 6 weeks after a calf augmentation surgery.

Each individual reacts to pain in a different way. At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, our doctors evaluate each patient personally and provide accurate diagnosis for any further surgeries you might want. You can contact us for any queries.

Cutting Edge Eyelid Surgery At The Plastic Surgery Institute of California:

A vital function of leading plastic surgery clinics and surgeons worldwide is their ability to make use of the latest and safest technologies in order to sustain their reputation amongst their existing clients as well as potential ones. In a delicate cosmetic procedure like eyelid surgery especially, it helps to know that your cosmetic surgeon can assist you with the latest techniques using the advanced, up-to-date equipment.

Patient surveys, innovations and emerging trends, demographics, differing laws and stances on cosmetic surgery, religious beliefs, geographical differences, etc. are some of the factors which cosmetic surgeons have to take into consideration on a regular basis. Such studies, along with avoiding misinformation, also allow doctors to provide a personalized service to their patients.

Free consultations too go a long way in establishing trust between the potential patient and the surgeon. At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, and advanced surgical institute for plastic surgery procedures like eyelid surgery, liposuction, etc., cutting edge equipment and services are paid attention to and provided to our patients, which enables them to evaluate their needs and helps us assist them in their decisions. Every effort is made to pay attention to detail where our patients are concerned.

Partying With Botox:

The great thing about Botox® is the no pain, zero recovery period and economical option it offers men and women looking for quick cosmetic results. High society soirées are becoming increasingly popular for serving a shot of Botox® with delectable caviar pâté’s. Indeed, celebrities like the Beckhams were rumored to host such Botox® ‘parties’ as they are known. This trend is not limited to just the beau monde though; seminars, evenings and socials held by plastic surgeons looking to expand their clientele too form a major section of society hosting such ‘parties’.

MSNBC reported an increase in Botox® sales to $310 million according 2006 findings with $100 million worth of Botox used for cosmetic purposes alone. The marketing of this wonder shot could be attributed mainly to such Botox® parties. A regular Botox® party goes something like this. A group of men and women, not necessarily known to each other, convene at a decided venue which could either be someone’s house or a specially booked convention hall. While refreshments are being served, each person is singled out by the doctor in succession. After paying the requisite fee and signing the consent form, the Botox® treatment is administered either in a private room or in view of others.

While practitioners claim to find such Botox® parties very affordable to all concerned, there are a lot of critics of this method. Their primary concern being the need of a well controlled environment for any medical treatment. A lack of professionalism too, has many established practitioners frowning upon such a medium of treatment.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, we adhere to methods that are strictly ethical and highly professional. Our facilities in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles offer treatments in Botox® and other injectables like Collagen®, Restylane® and Radiesse®.

Choosing The Wrong Place- A Common Mistake:

The rising popularity of plastic surgery, especially with the increase in reality shows and soaps that showcase the benefits of cosmetic enhancement, has called for an increase in demand for specialists who can provide exclusive expertise in this branch of medicine.

A proliferation of unqualified plastic surgeons is one of the main problems that recognized boards try to prevent. Beverly Hills, California, is held to be the Mecca of plastic surgery; but in this bevy of surgeons, specialists, and consultants, it is important to remember that a trained and certified cosmetic surgeon is what matters. This is where a certifying body like the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), proves useful.

A cosmetic surgeon’ credentials, experience, etc. have to be attested by such a governing body. Recommendations from friends, acquaintances and even your general practitioner may seem to be trustworthy, but are essential to be followed upon and considered carefully.

For delicate cosmetic surgery procedures like eyelid surgery, you cannot afford to tighten your pocket and get a cheaper alternative. Sometimes the cheaper alternative can turn out to be a costly affair. Post-eyelid surgery scars may be the least of the problems you might face if your surgeon lacks the credentials.

Qualified and experienced surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California in Beverly Hills & Los Angeles, California will be able to guide you through procedures like eyelid surgery with ease and professional expertise. Our sincerity and legitimacy is guaranteed as we are members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

A Face Gone Wrong:

Have anyone of you seen Heather Mills lately? Yes, the same broad who bamboozled Paul McCartney’s money from him.

She’s being splashed all over the place and every single photograph seems scarier than the other. The first thing I notice in any of her pictures is her mouth which always seems wonky. The lines around her mouth too are very harsh making me think her plastic surgeon either did a very bad job on her or he wasn’t a plastic surgeon at all but someone who she went to save money to.

Heather’s eyes are another part of her face that always grab me by my collar and make me look at them. They are perpetually wide open and frozen in a variety of very unflattering ways. Either the paparazzi wreak their revenge on her by clicking her from bad angles or her eyelid surgery has been overdone by the same guy who worked on her lips.

Eyelid surgery is a very common procedure that men and women who are around Heather’s age (40’s) have. Droopy upper eyelids and saggy lower eylids are common complaints that trigger the need for this plastic surgery. Good eyelid surgery work done by a top plastic surgeon can result in eyes that look wider and more alert.

Overdoing a blepharoplasty can result in a scary look not unlike Heather’s eyes, though extra Botox could also do the trick. Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for advanced cosmetic surgery procedures.

Bewitching Beauty:

Everybody remembers J.K. Rowling in her early Harry Potter days when she had that slightly dowdy schoolmarm look about her. But put her next to the elegant, graceful stunner who radiated confidence at the recent British Book Awards and you have a natural winner.

Rumored to have had Botox treatments and fillers pumped into her face to give a less careworn look, Rowling is also said to have had an eyelid surgery somewhere in 2002. Her plastic surgeon seems to have done a good job on her as he got rid of that harsh look she had earlier.

Her skin tone too looks much lighter these days possibly due to some laser resurfacing and microdermabrasion which is known to bring out the glow in a person’s cheeks. She could do with some weight reduction and body contouring to get her rampant body fat in control though, her dress was practically crying out for help.

But whatever the drawbacks of her Gucci stunner, Rowling has her life on track and the looks and confidence to go with it. The overwhelming (pun intended) Katie Price in her flashy ‘gown’ too couldn’t outdo Rowling.

Want to get your confidence back? A little help from plastic surgery couldn’t hurt (provided our doctors deem you fit) and a surgery like eyelid surgery could work wonders for your face. Get in touch with the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for more help.

Cosmetic Surgery To Fit Into An LA Lifestyle:

That’s the motivation Anna Friel, the Pushing Daisies star claims for several of her cosmetic nips and buffs. Now what could be a weirder reason for having cosmetic surgery than to pander to an expensive neighborhood and the lifestyle trials that come along with it!

You got to admit though, Anna has got some good work done on her by her plastic surgeon. The lips however, could do with a little less pout and some more definition (somehow starlets seem to view their lips as whoopee cushions).

Los Angeles is unanimously hailed to be the mecca of cosmetic surgery by critics, the plastic surgery profession and the beautiful and the unglamorous alike. But going so far as getting a cosmetic surgery done to fit in with the ‘it’ crowd tends to fall in the extreme category.

Have plastic surgery because you want to have it, not because you want to be popular, accepted, suffer from body dysmorphic disorder, an inferior personality or just because your friend has had one too. Get help from the Los Angeles office of the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

Whether you want an eyelash extension like Anna Friel’s, an eyelid surgery to make your eyes look more alert or an elective rhinoplasty, our advanced surgical center can help you out.

Injectable Safety Just Upped By Several Notches:

The Physicians Coalition for Injectable Safety, an alliance of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (AAFPRS) and the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (ASOPRS) recently announced their alliance with the FDA Counterfeit Alert Network in a first of its kind move.

According to Mark Jewel, the leader of the coalition, “Cosmetic injectable treatments provide very positive aesthetic outcomes without surgery. As a result, interest is high, but risks are also high when consumers are unaware of providers who offer or use off-shore, counterfeit or non-FDA approved injectable drugs and devices.”

Aptly, this move to screen substances shipped in from abroad comes on the heels of reports of Elvis’ ex-wife Priscilla Presley’s cosmetic fiasco in which low-grade injectable used on her face by a plastic surgeon a few years back.

The coalition also exhorts plastic surgery patients who have injectable treatments in procedures like eyelid surgery and face surgery to request their doctors to show them the packaging before they undergo any kind of treatment.

Moves like these can help the plastic surgery profession which is pot-holed with reports of unethical treatments and sub-standard surgeons. An advanced surgical institute for cosmetic enhancement like the Plastic Surgery Institute of California could certainly do with the air being cleared up a bit for the plastic surgeons that do practice and adhere to board standards.

Ye Olde Eyes:

He always had that hang-dog look going for him when he was a sizzling young Rocky, but in his 60’s Sylvester Stallone seems to have perfected it; and from rumors, his plastic surgeon did no great job on it. Whispers of an excess of supplements abound as well.

But his dear old mamma, Jackie Stallone takes the cake for the most plastic surgery done in the family with her pinched up brows courtesy and over-done brow lift and pumped lips courtesy a crazy lip augmentation. For all her flaws though, Jackie has to be thanked for producing a hunk of an Italian American who despite his birth complications mesmerized women on and off the silver screen.

Plastic surgeons can work on an eyelid surgery for correcting the hang-dog look by using an upper eyelift which is performed to correct drooping eyelids. For getting the lower lids to look in sync with the upper eyelids, eyelid surgery techniques like canthoplasty or canthopexy can be performed.

They work really well when performed by an experienced plastic surgeon and can yield amazing results. Even at an age like 60 the effect can be really great, but its best to get yourself screened for any health problems or physical instability from your plastic surgeon.

Get in touch with us at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for expert help on eyelid surgery procedures.

Why Hypertension Is A Good Reason Not To Have An Eyelid Surgery:

Hypertension or high blood pressure has many causes, the main one being including too much salt in your diet. Other reasons an individual generally suffer from hypertension is because either he has a family history of the condition or in some cases due to the effects of certain medicines.

While the former causes of hypertension come under the classification essential hypertension, the latter causes are categorized as secondary hypertension. Plastic surgeons and medical experts believe surgery to be stressful on a person having a hypertension problem.

This is why plastic surgeons recommend people who have hypertension due to any of these causes are advised to stay off plastic surgery. It is vital that older patients, who also happen to be the group advocating facial surgery procedures like eyelid surgery, face lifts and cheek implants, state if they have high blood pressure problems.

This age group usually suffers from intrinsic hypertension and professional plastic surgeons are required to maintain their hypertensive regimen throughout the surgery and the post-operative period.

Medical experts believe hypertension affects at least one in four adults in the U.S. If you belong to this group and wish to have an eyelid surgery procedure, inform your doctor about your problem.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, we make it a point to evaluate our patient’s history before suggesting them for a cosmetic procedure like eyelid surgery.

Sutures Used For Eyelid Surgery – Caring For Them:

The sutures used to close the incisions made during eyelid surgery perform the function of holding the tissues in close proximity in order to encourage faster healing. Since the eyes receive the most amount of focus, plastic surgeons make use of very fine sutures to close the incisions.

In a transconjunctival surgery approach however, the incisions are made inside the eyelid and result in no visible scars. You may request your surgeon for this technique, but he can only perform it if he finds you suitable for it.

While the sutures or stitches are on, you will face some amount of discomfort and at times even a temporary loss of vision. But if you have an experienced plastic surgeon, he will be monitoring your progress closely. In a week or less the sutures will be removed and the wounds will be allowed to heal unaided.

Following your eyelid surgery doctor’s instruction on wound and eye care is absolutely vital. You will not be kept for the entire duration of your recovery period in the hospital, so as soon as you spot unusual healing or eye trouble it is recommended that you contact your doctor.

Lookout for fever that measures higher than 100 degrees as it could be an indicator of an infection. Eye secretions that might seem unusual and excessive too are causes for concern. While the stitches are yet on, take care to guard them against shock. At the first sign of them coming undone, rush to your eyelid surgeon.

The Patrons Of Eyelid Surgery:

Recent statistics released by the ASPS state eyelid surgery to be the very popular among those in the Mountain Pacific region of the United States. A little above 34 percent of blepharoplasty procedures were performed in this area itself.

Medical experts cite the weather as the over-riding factor for plastic surgery popularity in certain pockets of the U.S. The surrounding environment has long been a promulgator for a wide variety of human activity and behavior. For instance, the people living in the Rockies would tend to have a body better suited for rugged terrain than a person living in Washington City. Their architecture would also lean more towards the practical style.

Plastic surgery is as much affected by geography and climate as are other businesses. Eyelid surgery was also noticed to be popular among Asian-Americans, along with rhinoplasty and breast augmentation. Their physical anatomy could be the reason why the surgery finds a following among this ethnic group just as how African-Americans tend to prefer liposuction and breast reduction.

Eyelid surgery for cosmetic enhancement is also very popular among the workforce in the U.S. There is great emphasis placed in personal grooming which companies hold, tends to reflect on the image of the organization.

Transconjunctival Eyelid Surgery For Chalazion:

Referred to as a tarsal cyst, conjunctival granuloma or meibomian cyst, chalazion is an eyelid condition caused due to an inflammation of a gland of the lid. Any of the 30 or so glands could swell resulting in this condition.

Chalazion is usually caused due to a hardening of the sebaceous liquid near the opening from which the eyelid gland secretes its juices. The presence of bacteria in the gland can lead to a worsening of the condition and can even result in an infection.

Eyelid surgery experts can remove a tarsal cyst from the inside of the eyelid using the transconjunctival approach. But this method of treating chalazion is recommended only when warm compresses and antibiotics do not offer relief from the condition.

In a transconjunctival eyelid surgery, the incision is made in the lid of the eyes. While you are getting your chalazion treated you can even reduce any excess fat from your eyelids as this eyelid surgery technique has a cosmetic function as well.

Take an appointment with the Plastic Surgery Institute of California to treat eyelid disorders and to improve the region around the eyes. Top plastic surgeons at our advanced surgical institute are experienced in reconstructive eyelid surgery as well.

Concealing Temporary Scars And Bruises Safely:

Whichever way you look at her, Amy Winehouse cuts a striking figure with her bouffant hair styles, Egyptian-lined eyes and more lately, her impetigo-scabbed body. Her ugly skin imperfections are all over her upper body and look even worse against her glam makeup.

Certain people who have had cosmetic surgery too face problems not unlike Winehouse with post-surgery scars and mild swellings and angry incision lines. Plastic surgeons recommend camouflage cosmetics for such cases which help the patient deal with post-surgery appearances.

Application of these cosmetics can be commenced only if the plastic surgeon feels it right to do so. The rate of patient healing has to be deduced as well before the plastic surgeon feels the need to prescribe camouflage cosmetics. Usually eyelid surgery patients have to wait for a period of at least ten days before resorting to camouflage cosmetics or paramedical makeup.

Developed for both men and women, corrective makeup can help an eyelid surgery patient to conceal, add contour and correct the color of the bruises, incision lines and scars.

Corrective makeup is heavier on the skin than regular makeup and it is important to clean it off the face before going to sleep. A cleansing cream, a toner and a moisturizer that suits your face type are the best ways to get rid of camouflage cosmetics.

If you have had an eyelid surgery procedure, you can ask the plastic surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for their advice and recommendations.

Post-surgery Black Eyes:

Eyelid surgery to correct drooping eyelids, sagging lower lids, eyelid disorders and other problems all involve a certain amount of bruising post-surgery. Patients who wish to have an eyelid surgery are offered instructions like staying off tobacco and smoking before and after surgery and are also prescribed a specific diet.

Post-surgery bruising is bound to occur regardless of following these instructions but if the plastic surgeon’s advice is followed to a tee, the intensity of bruising might be reduced. Some patients have reported a bruising that appears darker than normal and takes even longer to go away.

This occurrence is not uncommon and plastic surgeons might recommend that the patient take help from a trained dermatologist, who is better equipped to deal with the problem. Depending on the severity of the black eye and the experience of the cosmetic surgeon, correction treatment could even be administered at the hands of the same doctor.

For a delicate cosmetic surgery like eyelid surgery, it is advisory to scan the profession for a doctor who is experienced enough to deal with any problems that may arise. An eyelid surgeon who is an expert in reconstructive surgery can prove to be your best choice.
