Episode notes
Fix Hooded Upper Lids With Blepharoplasty
- Treat excess upper-eyelid skin with upper blepharoplasty by removing skin, sometimes muscle and fat via the crease incision.
- Expect about 1–1.25 hours procedure time and modest swelling/bruising for a couple of weeks.
Know Ptosis Versus Excess Skin
- Differentiate dermatochalasis (excess skin) from ptosis (lid doesn't open enough); ptosis needs surgical repair by an oculoplastic surgeon.
- Don't treat true ptosis with standard blepharoplasty; refer to an ophthalmic plastic specialist.
Botox Is Best For Crow's Feet
- Treat crow's feet with Botox or neuromodulators to weaken the orbicularis muscle and reduce wrinkles for 3–4 months.
- Avoid filler in crow's feet since it rarely helps and is not recommended.
