COSMETIC SURGERY

BLEPHAROPLASTY

As you age your eyelids are subjected to the relentless downward pull of gravity.

Eventually, gravity wins.

And what you see in the mirror— and what others see— is a droopy, tired appearance caused by resulting excessive upper eyelid tissue.

Also known as eyelid surgery or eye lift, cosmetic blepharoplasty involves removal of excess eyelid skin and fatty tissues of both the upper and lower eyelids to provide a younger, more appealing look.. This provides a “rejuvenated” appearance ‭allowing one to look more rested and alert. This procedure can be performed on both upper and lower eyelids.

Eyelid Rejuvenation (Blepharoplasty)

PROCEDURES

A cosmetic blepharoplasty involves removal of excess eyelid skin and fatty tissues of both the upper and lower eyelids to provide a younger, more appealing look.

In ptosis repair, the procedure used to correct drooping eyelids, the eyelids are carefully elevated to increase a patient’s field of vision and improve overall appearance.

Both procedures are performed under local anesthesia and on an out-patient basis (hospitalization not required). Dr. Ahmed uses a state-of-the-art electrocautery instrument to minimize bruising and post-operative bleeding.

Most patients find they are able to return to their normal activities quickly, usually within 2 to 3 days.

BOTOX®
Botox is a drug prepared from the bacterial toxin botulin, used cosmetically to remove wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing facial muscles. We’ve all heard of Botox, responsible for generations of smooth foreheads in Hollywood. But Botox has also brought relief to many people who suffer from chronic medical conditions. In 2010, Botox was approved for use with chronic migraine, and many patients are reporting success.

DERMAL FILLERS
“Cosmetic” or “Dermal” fillers are injectable material to replace the volume lost by the normal aging process or trauma. These fillers are designed to mimic the natural substance that occurs in your connective tissues, cartilage and bones.
