Upper Facelift & Chemical Peel
Cosmetic Concern: 51-year old woman who is interested in a more youthful appearance.
Diagnosis:
- Bilateral eyebrow ptosis.
- Lower eyelid wrinkles.
- Herniated orbital fat.
Treatment:
- Endoscopic forehead lift.
- Lower eyelid chemical peel.
Discussion: The endoscopic forehead lift needs to be tailored to the desires of the individual patient. She did not want the “deer in the head light” look that can result if the eyebrow is overly elevated. She also wanted to have something done for the lower eyelid but budget was a major consideration. A chemical peel of the lower eyelid complex was the logical choice for treating the lower eyelid. Even though no surgery was performed on the lower eyelids, the chemical peel firms the lower eyelid septum smoothing the area. This is often a great option as an alternative to lower eyelid surgery or arcus marginalis release. Call now for your personal consultation to learn if this choice of procedures is right for you.
