Eye Lift
Eyelid surgery is the most challenging area of cosmetic facial surgery, as eyelid function and cosmesis are very complex. And since eye contact is fundamental to interpersonal contact, excellent eyelid cosmesis is vital. In addition to cosmetic eyelid surgery, we offer surgery for eyelid trauma, orbital trauma and tumours, defective lid function (e.g. lower lid ectropion, upper lid ptosis). Chemical peels, Restylane and Botox treatments are valuable adjuncts to surgical treatments. Because eyelid skin is so fragile, it is often the first to show signs of facial ageing, and your consultation may simply result in a better understanding of how to prevent accelerated facial ageing.
