Patients who come to me seeking rejuvenation of the brow and upper eyelids areas are pleased to learn that I can often accomplish this for them under local anesthesia in either my Winnetka or Chicago office. Patients can obtain the benefits of an upper blepharoplasty and brow lift and without needing a general anesthetic or even IV sedation.
Heaviness in the upper eyelid area can be caused by true excess of upper eyelid skin and fat or by brow descent or a combination of the two. A careful evaluation will lead to the proper diagnosis and treatment with a brow lift or upper blepharoplasty or a combined procedure.
Facial rejuvenation surgery produces a face that appears soft and refreshed, yet retains its expressive ability. To achieve this I make use of a process including a wide range of treatments, some surgical and some non-surgical.
In plastic surgery, as in the rest of medicine, optimum treatment proceeds from an accurate diagnosis. To accurately diagnose facial aging the surgeon needs to look at the three key regions of the face: the upper cheek (some call it the midface), the jaw border, and the neck. In each of these areas there may be problems of tone, which improve with lifting procedures, or volume, which improve with the addition or removal of fat.
