Eyelid Surgery, Blepharoplasty, Upper Blepharoplasty. This 58-year-old patient consulted with Dr. Tehrani regarding facial rejuvenation. She had been undergoing facial injections including Botox and dermal fillers for the past 7 years, but due to aging skin, she wasn’t seeing the kind of results she had hoped for. Dr. Tehrani recommended undergoing an upper eyelid surgery, also known as an upper blepharoplasty, which can be performed under general anesthesia. For an upper blepharoplasty, an incision is made in the curved eyelid crease of the upper eyelid. This placement assures that the scar will be well hidden when it heals. Dr. Tehrani removes the previously determined amount of excess skin and fat, and the incision is closed with small sutures. In the three months following the procedure, the patient has felt much more confident in her own skin. The more a patient knows about the procedure and the options available, the better equipped they will be to make an informed decision. At Aristocrat, we want you to feel 100% comfortable with your decision.
