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.
