Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper and lower eyelids. The procedure can correct drooping upper lids that tend to sag with time and the puffy bags below the eyes. The procedure usually takes about 1 hour and can be performed in the office using local anesthesia. Stitches can be removed after one week. Blepharoplasty can be done as a single procedure, or in conjunction with other facial surgery such as a brow lift.

Blepharoplasty surgery, in addition to improving appearance, also can make it easier to open the eyes, and improve the upper portion of the side vision, thereby improving ocular fatigue. It oftentimes is done for reasons other than cosmetic.

In those cases, blepharoplasty can be a service covered by Medicare and sometimes other insurances. In order to check whether the surgery would be covered by insurance, documentation of side vision loss is done and, along with photographs of the condition, the insurance company is then sent a letter and prior approval is obtained. In many cases, we can proceed with the surgery without prior approval. The procedure is generally done in the surgical center with an anesthesiologist available, but can be done in the office to save costs.

Juvéderm® Injectable Gel

Juvéderm® is an injectable gel that gently reverses many signs of aging in the face, including fine lines and wrinkles, crow's feet, thinning lips and loosening skin. It can also "plump up" the lips, sculpt the cheeks, and restore a youthful oval shape to the face. It is made with hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the body that works with collagen and elastin to give volume and support to the skin. Because it is non-animal-based and highly biocompatible, no pre-treatment testing is needed. Juvéderm® comes in three formulas optimized for the depth of the area being treated. Results last about 6-9 months and can be made to last even longer with a simple follow-up treatment a few weeks after the initial injection.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion combines a stream of pure diamond crystals, delivered to the outer layers of the skin, and a vacuum, to increase circulation. As damaged skin cells are lifted away from the skin surface, new cell production is stimulated at the base layers of the skin. The skin will gradually appear smoother, firmer and more radiant.

The DiamondTome™ skin resurfacing system works by pumping minute crystals through a glass hand-piece onto the skin's surface. The fine crystal mist gently refines the epidermal layer, leaving the skin smooth and more youthful. Dermabrasion has been used in the medical industry with great success. Microdermabrasion has been introduced to allow the beauty therapist to bridge the gap between beauty salon and the dermatologist clinic.

In just one treatment, the DiamondTome™ skin resurfacing system visibly refines and polishes the surface of the skin. The technique stimulates the micro-circulation to promote a healthy new layer of skin. Your skin will have a radiant glow, free of irritation and loose particles. Treatment series vary from four to ten sessions depending on the condition being treated and the type of skin. Microdermabrasion has been effective in the treatment of the following conditions:

• Sun damaged skin - face, neck, shoulders
• Age spots - hands, face
• Reduction of minor to moderate early aging fine lines - eyes, forehead
• Blending of cosmetic surgery or laser treatments
• Reduction of acne scarring
• Extraction of blackheads and whiteheads
• Minor scar revision
• Hyperpigmentation reduction
• Oily skin
• Rejuvenation of skin health
