Surgical cosmetic procedures are considered when people want to correct physical imperfections and reshape structures of the face to enhance appearance and improve confidence. The key goals of cosmetic facial surgery include improving the proportion, symmetry, and aesthetic appeal of the face to bring lasting and dramatic changes to the patient’s appearance.
All surgeries offered by Narayana Nethralaya are Day Care Surgeries and most of them are Minimally Invasive. Consult us for the most advanced and the best option for your condition.
The first signs of ageing are usually seen around the eyes. Bags under the eyes, loose and drooping layers of skin on the eyelids (hooded eyes), as well as sagging eyebrows, give the entire face a tired or aged expression. Some of these problems can be addressed with minimally invasive surgery which restores a youthful appearance, by removing loose, sagging skin or puffy, bulging bags of fat from the upper or lower lids.
Loose, wrinkled extra skin causing hooding of eyes and baggy eyes can be corrected permanently through blepharoplasty.
Upper lid blepharoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure in which droopy eyebrows, the saggy skin of upper lid and prolapsed orbital fat and lacrimal gland are repositioned back in their normal anatomical position, making the eyes appear younger and more refreshed.
Lower lid blepharoplasty is rejuvenation of lower eyelids. In this procedure, the lower lid is tightened and prolapsed fat repositioned, to efface the lid cheek junction. This procedure rewinds the age clock, that is, it knocks a couple of years off your face and you will see a marked difference after the procedure.
Blepharoplasty is done with state of the art Radiofrequency Unit (Ellman), thus blade-less.
Minimal bleeding occurs during the procedure, however it is advisable to stop blood thinners one week prior to the procedure. Blepharoplasty is a day care procedure, and there is no need of night stay in the hospital. The surgery takes about 20 – 30 minutes per eyelid. Eyes are usually not closed or bandaged after the procedure.
Sagging of the eyebrows can make the eyes appear tired and small in size. This descent of the eyebrows can be fixed by a minimally invasive procedure known as a brow lift.
An eye doctor who specialises in eye plastic surgery will examine the patient by carefully assessing the eyelids and brow region to determine whether a brow lift is required. The desired outcome is then discussed with the patient. During the procedure, the natural features of the patient are enhanced; and at no point would the result appear artificial.
Brow lift can be done through a minimally invasive surgery in the operation theatre or it can be done in the clinic with the help of Botulinum toxin (known as Chemical brow lift).
The surgical brow lift has a healing period of about 5 – 7 days and will last for 7 – 10 years. The non-surgical brow lift done with Botulinum toxin is an outpatient procedure and takes about 15 minutes. There is no downtime. However, the results last for 4 months as the effect of Botulinum toxin wears away.
Chemical brow lift involves elevating or shaping of the eyebrows, with the help of Botulinum Toxin. It is a routinely done procedure; there are no known side effects or risks of the procedure. This is also known as liquid lifts. Slight asymmetry between the brows can occur, which can however be set right very easily.
The cost of a brow lift varies depending on the type of procedure and your individual needs. After a thorough examination, your aesthetic surgeon will discuss the options and associated costs, tailoring the plan to achieve the best results for you.
Nearly 50% of Asians are born with no upper eyelid fold or crease, which makes the eyes appear small and sleepy. In such eyelids, there is no place for applying eyeshadow, and eyeliner if applied, gets hidden by the overhanging eyelid skin. Thus a fold in the eyelid is very desirable in this group of people.
Creation of this fold or a natural looking crease in the eyelid is known as double eyelid surgery. This makes the eye appear refreshed and widely open. It is a minimally invasive day care procedure. Either suture technique or incision technique is performed, customised to the needs of the particular eyelid.
Suture technique lasts for a few years, whereas incision technique gives more permanent results.
It takes a week to recover from the procedure. During that week, all normal activities can be continued except for swimming and strenuous activities.
You don’t have to live with scars in the visible parts of your body. Most of them can be erased or made much less prominent with scar treatment at our clinic. Consult our team of highly qualified doctors to know more.
A scar is part of the body’s natural healing process; sometimes the healing process goes overboard, causing the area to look unsightly.
Ragged wounds, a patient’s keloid tendency, inappropriate suturing, or the use of thick sutures are some of the main causes of scar formation.
Although it is not possible for the scar to disappear completely, it can definitely be made less noticeable and faint.
Treatment options include Compression dressing, Silicone gel sheath, Intralesional Tricort and 5 FU injections, Lasers, and Surgical scar revision.
Scar treatment should begin immediately after wound healing, for best results.
Xanthelasma appears as yellowish plaques on the eyelids, typically caused by cholesterol deposits. Though benign, they can be distressing for patients due to their visible location. As eye doctors, we carefully evaluate these lesions and offer minimally invasive surgical options to remove them effectively and improve the appearance of the eyelids.
