Case 3

Eyelid 4 Upper eyelid

This patient had upper eyelid surgery.

The incision for this is made in the upper lid crease and is mostly hidden in the upper lid. Usually it is recommended to have 10 days away from work to recover from upper lid surgery because of the possibility of swelling and bruising. Ice packs can be very helpful in the first 72 hours.

The post-operative photos were taken at 3 months.

Case 5


This patient had a browlift as well as upper eyelid surgery.  The before photos show that the eyebrows were sitting lower than normal and this was contributing to her problem, especially by causing some sagging of the outer part of her lids.

If upper lid surgery alone had been done, there would still be some loose skin at the outer corner of her eyes. Accordingly, a browlift was recommended in addition to upper eyelid surgery.

The post-operative photos were taken at 3 months.
