UNDERSTANDING BLEPHAROPLASTY: EYELID REJUVENATION

As we age, eyelids naturally stretch and weaken, causing droopy
eyelids or under-eye bags that can make individuals appear older.
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to improve eyelid
appearance by removing excess skin, muscle, and fat, delivering a more
youthful aesthetic.

TYPES OF BLEPHAROPLASTY PROCEDURES

 	* Upper Eyelid Surgery: Removes excess skin and fat to rejuvenate
the upper eyelid
	* Lower Eyelid Surgery: Corrects bags and wrinkles under the eyes
	* Double Eyelid Surgery: Creates a natural-looking crease in monolid
eyes
	* Aging Eyelids Surgery: Lifts drooping eyelids to improve vision and
appearance

DOUBLE EYELID SURGERY: AESTHETIC TRANSFORMATION

Double eyelid surgery is particularly popular among individuals of
Asian descent without a natural upper eyelid crease. The procedure
creates a well-defined fold, making eyes appear larger, brighter, and
more expressive while potentially improving vision and makeup
application.

INNOVATIVE FAT TRANSFER TECHNIQUE

Dr. Randy Wong employs an advanced fat transfer technique during
blepharoplasty. By extracting fat from areas like the abdomen or
thighs and carefully injecting it around the eye region, he can
effectively fill hollows and reduce under-eye bags, offering a natural
alternative to synthetic fillers.

ADDRESSING AGING AND VISION CONCERNS

Aging can cause significant changes to the eye area, including sagging
skin and reduced peripheral vision. Blepharoplasty helps rejuvenate
eyelids, potentially improving both aesthetic appearance and visual
functionality.

CANDIDATE CONSIDERATIONS

Ideal candidates for blepharoplasty are individuals in good health
with realistic expectations, experiencing concerns such as: 	*
Drooping upper eyelids 	* Excess skin around the eyes 	* Bags or
puffiness under the eyes 	* Impaired vision due to sagging eyelids

PROCEDURE BENEFITS

Blepharoplasty offers both cosmetic and functional advantages,
including: 	* Restored youthful eye appearance 	* Potential
improvement in peripheral vision 	* Enhanced facial aesthetics 	*
Increased self-confidence

CANTHOPLASTY IN HONOLULU, HAWAII: ENHANCING EYE SHAPE WITH PRECISION

UNDERSTANDING CANTHOPLASTY: TRANSFORMING EYE AESTHETICS

Eye shape significantly impacts overall facial aesthetics. An
almond-shaped eye, characterized by a slightly elevated outer corner
and a lower eyelid position that conceals the eye's white, is
considered attractive and youthful. This eye shape is particularly
common among Asian, Eastern European, Middle Eastern, and mixed ethnic
backgrounds.

With age, eye shapes can transform, becoming more rounded and
horizontally shortened. Lateral canthoplasty offers a sophisticated
solution to restore or create an almond-shaped eye, delivering an
alert, youthful, and alluring appearance.

CUSTOMIZED CANTHOPLASTY APPROACH

Oculofacial Plastic Surgery of Hawaii emphasizes a personalized
approach to canthoplasty. During consultation, patients are encouraged
to share reference images of desired eye shapes, enabling precise
aesthetic alignment.

POTENTIAL COMPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES

 	* Upper eyelid surgery
	* Lower eyelid surgery
	* Brow lift

WHY CHOOSE AN OCULOFACIAL PLASTIC SURGEON?

Eyelid anatomy is intricate, and eye shape modifications require
extraordinary precision. An oculoplastic surgeon specializes in
understanding the complex eye area, ensuring that surgical changes
maintain functional integrity while achieving aesthetic goals.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Post-canthoplasty recovery involves initial swelling and bruising that
improves over several weeks. Patients should avoid strenuous
activities for the first two weeks. While eyelids may feel temporarily
tight, they gradually relax, with final results becoming apparent 2-3
months after surgery.

surgery addresses common signs of aging such as under-eye bags, dark
circles, and excess skin, helping patients achieve a refreshed and
more youthful appearance.

THE AGING UNDER-EYE: COMPREHENSIVE CORRECTION

The under-eye area is often one of the first regions to show signs of

solution to these concerns.

DR. BRADFORD W. LEE MD | BLEPHAROPLASTY HONOLULU

UNDERSTANDING UPPER BLEPHAROPLASTY

Upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that refreshes the
appearance of upper eyelids by removing excess skin and fat that
develop with aging. The surgery eliminates baggy skin, wrinkles, and
bulges, ultimately giving the eyes a bright and youthful appearance.
As one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgeries, upper
blepharoplasty offers patients a high satisfaction rate.

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

The upper blepharoplasty procedure can be performed in a surgery
center under IV sedation or in the office with local anesthesia. Dr.
Lee utilizes precise artistic markings to ensure optimal skin removal,
creating a scar that discreetly hides within the natural eyelid
crease.

KEY SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

 	* Precise skin removal within natural eyelid contours
	* Strategic fat removal or repositioning
	* Customized approach for natural-looking results
	* Same-day procedure with immediate eye functionality

CUSTOMIZED APPROACH FOR DIFFERENT PATIENT NEEDS

Successful upper blepharoplasty requires careful measurement and
customization. Dr. Lee takes meticulous measurements to remove the
optimal amount of skin, fat, and muscle during surgery. The procedure
can be combined with other treatments like ptosis repair or brow lift
to achieve comprehensive aesthetic improvements.

ASIAN EYELID SPECIALIZATION

Asian eyelids have unique anatomical characteristics that require
specialized surgical techniques. Dr. Lee, being of Asian descent and
specializing in Asian eyelid surgery, understands the nuanced
approaches needed. Some patients desire crease creation, while others
prefer maintaining their natural eyelid appearance.

application and Tylenol for the first few days. Most patients can
resume light activities immediately, with full results visible around
three months post-surgery. Bruising and swelling are normal and
gradually subside over weeks.

INSURANCE CONSIDERATIONS
