A well-rested look and a refined eyelid line — the result of delicate work to remove heaviness around the eyes.
Precise correction of excess skin opened up the eyelid, emphasized its aesthetic crease and made the eyes look rested and radiant. The result looks completely natural, harmonizes with the facial features and preserves the patient's own expressions.
Patient's Request
Excess sagging skin on the eyelids made the patient's face look constantly tired and created a feeling of heaviness over the eyes. She wanted to open up her eyes, restore a crisp, natural crease line and bring back overall freshness to her face. It was important that the eye area look smooth and well-groomed in any lighting and from any angle. The top priority was to keep her natural eye shape and expressions while achieving a subtle rejuvenating effect that others would not notice as surgery.
Diagnosis and Surgical Plan
During the examination, Iryna Pradosh carefully assessed the elasticity of the upper eyelid skin, the depth of the natural crease and the tone of the orbicularis oculi muscle. Based on the measurements, a correction plan was drawn up:
- Precise pre-operative marking tailored to the individual anatomy of the eyelid crease;
- A fine micro-incision within the natural anatomical groove;
- Delicate removal of the excess skin flap and, if necessary, minimal fat herniations;
- Fine cosmetic sutures for inconspicuous healing;
- Close monitoring in the first hours after the procedure and guidance for an easy recovery.
Result
Once the minimal post-operative swelling had subsided, the eyelid line became clean and neat.
- Hooded skin above the eyes completely eliminated;
- A crisp, attractive and open upper eyelid crease created;
- The eyes look fresh, light and expressive;
- The fine micro-scar is hidden in the natural eyelid crease and becomes completely invisible once fully healed;
- Recovery was easy and comfortable, allowing a quick return to the usual routine.
