Cosmetic / Plastic Surgery Procedures
Feel comfortable about your appearance
Brow Lifts:
Brow and forehead lifts are surgical procedures done to raise droopy eyebrows
and smooth forehead wrinkles, often resulting in the decrease of excess
eyelid skin and opening of the eyes. Incisions are made either at the
hairline, behind the hairline, in some cases, above the brow or in the
mid-forehead. Excess skin and tissue is removed and fine sutures or staples
are applied to close the incisions.
It is common to experience swelling and bruising in the 10 days following
surgery. Some patients also see bruising in the cheek and eye area. For
most patients, the recovery time will not exceed two weeks, but patients
may still be advised to avoid strenuous activities for longer periods.
You will be permitted to wash your hair shortly after the surgery. Please
contact an office near you to schedule a free, personal consultation with
Dr. Ghafouri to see if you may be a good
candidate for a brow or forehead lift.
Eyelid Surgery:
Eyelid surgery is designed to improve the
function or appearance of the eyes or eyelids. Blepharoplasty is the most
common eyelid procedure that removes excess tissue from your eyelids,
to restore a more rested, natural, youthful appearance to your eyes and
face.
The procedure consists of the doctor making incisions that follow the
natural lines and creases in your eyelids. Then the excess tissue is removed
to achieve a better shape. The incisions will be sutured, leaving hairline
scars that begin to fade in days. The procedure is usually done on an
outpatient basis, under local anesthesia. It could take anywhere from
one to two hours. You are likely to have more than one follow-up visit
with your doctor. Occasionally, a second minor procedure may be required
to remove more tissue. Southwestern Eye Center has two doctors who perform
blepharoplasty: Dr. Bluth and Dr.
Ghafouri.
By performing minimally invasive eyelid or brow lift surgery, your youthful, bright and rested look can be restored.
