Blepharoplasty procedures are designed to improve the appearance of the eyes. These procedurees can include surgical and nonsurgical approaches. Dr. Prasad’s artistic vision and technical skills help his patients look natural. There are many choices and techniques to improve the appearance of the eyes. Dr. Prasad has the skills to perform the majority of techiniques offered.
The art of blepharoplasty is to choose the right techniques and apply them. These are examples of blepharoplasty:
Upper Eyelid Cosmetic Surgery – Blepharoplasty
Facial cosmetic surgery known as blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that repairs eyelid problems and are better known as eyelid lifts. Excess skin, muscle, and fatty tissue that tend to accumulate are removed from the upper eyelids through an incision that is hidden in the natural creases above the eyelids. These eyelid cosmetic surgery scars are very difficult to see over time even without makeup.
Lower Eyelid Cosmetic Surgery – Blepharoplasty
Facial cosmetic surgery for lower lids takes a transconjunctival approach which means that this eyelid cosmetic surgery is performed through the inside part of the eyelid so that no external visible scar is created when fatty tissue is removed. An incision may also be made just below the base of the lashes if excessive skin or muscle folds are found below the eye. As this incision heals, the fine scar should also become barely visible.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
The laser treatment is performed in our comfortable, state-of-the art office operating suite under local anesthesia. In this facial cosmetic treatment, layers of skin are removed restoring a softer, smoother, more youthful appearing skin. The Erbium laser is our preferred laser for resurfacing. This laser produces less heat and is considerably gentler to the skin than other resurfacing lasers. Treatment with the Erbium laser stimulates the production of collagen which results in a tightening and smoothing of the skin.
Botox Treatment
Most people don’t find the Botox® facial cosmetic treatment to be uncomfortable. A very small amount of Botox® is injected directly into the muscle and topical anesthetic creams are applied to numb the skin before the injection. The muscles relax and reduce the appearance of frown lines or crows’ feet – effects are usually seen within 24-72 hours.
Blepharoplasty – Cosmetic Eyelift Surgery With Individual Designs
Blepahroplasty or cosmetic eyelify t surgery caters to people with different needs based on gender, ethnicity and age
Dr. Prasad uses his expertise in Eyelid Surgery to provide Asian patients with naturally appearing eyelids and does not make one of the most frequent mistakes of many other plastic surgeons “Americanizing” or “Europeanizing” the eyelid.
For men, Dr. Prasad alters his surgical approach so that a man’s blepharoplasty helps him retain a masculine appearance.
Dr. Prasad’s specialized approach for people of color minimizes their two main problems requiring special consideration including avoiding the formation of keloids (raised unattractive scars) when their skin heals as well as reducing the tendency to have long-lasting color changes when they heal.
