Surgical Procedures

Surgical Upper Blepharoplasty

Surgical Upper Blepharoplasty is designed to refresh your appearance by removing excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper eyelids. This procedure not only improves the aesthetics of the eye area but can also enhance vision if drooping eyelids are obstructing your sight.

  • Procedure Overview:
    • Objective: Eliminate excess tissue to create a more alert, youthful appearance and improve the visual field when necessary.
    • Technique: Incisions are made discreetly along the natural eyelid crease. The surgeon removes or repositions excess skin, muscle, and fat to achieve a balanced, natural result.
    • Anesthesia: Typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation.
    • Recovery: Mild swelling and bruising may occur, which generally resolve within one to two weeks. Most patients return to normal activities shortly thereafter.
  • Benefits:
    • Enhanced Appearance: Achieves a rejuvenated, more awake look with reduced hooding of the eyelids.
    • Functional Improvement: Can improve peripheral vision if drooping eyelids are impairing sight.
    • Minimal Scarring: Incisions follow the natural eyelid crease, making scars nearly invisible over time.

Performed by: Dr. Agnieszka Howoruszko, a specialized ophthalmologist with extensive expertise in eyelid and eyebrow surgeries.

Surgical Direct Eyebrow Lift

The Surgical Direct Eyebrow Lift is designed to elevate the eyebrows for a balanced and youthful appearance. This procedure is ideal for patients with sagging brows or noticeable asymmetry.

  • Procedure Overview:
    • Objective: Directly lift the eyebrows to restore improved facial symmetry and a more refreshed eye area.
    • Technique: A precise incision is made along the eyebrow, and a small strip of skin is removed. The eyebrow is then elevated and sutured into a new, higher position. This direct approach provides predictable and immediate lifting.
    • Anesthesia: Performed under local anesthesia.
    • Recovery: Patients typically experience mild swelling and bruising, with most returning to normal activities within one to two weeks.
  • Benefits:
    • Immediate and Noticeable Lift: Provides clear, immediate elevation of the eyebrows.
    • Enhanced Facial Expression: Opens up the eye area for a more refreshed and alert look.
    • Improved Symmetry: Corrects brow asymmetry and balances facial features.
