Eyelid Rejuvenation

gardena, eyelid rejuvenationEyelid rejuvenation can restore puffy, sagging or tired-looking eyes by removing excess fat, skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. It can be a cosmetic procedure and can also improve vision by lifting droopy eyelids out of the patient's field of vision. The procedure is usually performed with local anesthesia in as little as 45 minutes. The procedure can be combined with a facelift or BOTOX® treatments to raise the eyebrows or reduce the appearance of wrinkles, crow's feet or dark circles under the eyes.


Endoscopic Forehead Lift

Browlifts can revitalize drooping or lined foreheads, helping you to look less angry, sad or tired. Using minimally invasive (endoscopic) methods, the muscles above the eyes are altered to smooth lines and raise the eyebrows for a more youthful appearance. The procedure is often combined with other operations such as blepharoplasty and facelifts to improve the look of the eyes and other areas of the face.

In an endoscopic browlift Dr. Aghai makes three to five small incisions. Then an endoscope -- a slim instrument with a camera on the end -- is placed in one incision while Dr. Aghai works through the other incisions.


Endoscopic ("Scarless") Facelift

In time, gravity, sun exposure, and the stresses of daily life take their toll on our faces: deep creases appear beside the mouth, the jaw line slackens, and folds and fat deposits appear on the neck. Facelifts counteract these problems by removing fat and tightening skin and muscles, giving your face a fresher, youthful look. After surgery, patients can appear 10-15 years younger.

An endoscopic facelift is minimally invasive and leaves no scars, earning it the nickname "scarless facelift." Small incisions are made in inconspicuous places such as behind the hairline and in natural folds of the face and ears, and scars fade to near invisibility in time. Results of a facelift do not last forever, but in another sense, the effects are permanent; years later, your face will continue to look better than if you had never had the procedure.
