Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

A 58-year-old female presented with upper eyelid puffiness. She had no issues with dryness but felt that her right eyelid appeared heavier than the left.

A 71-year-old female, who had previously undergone cataract surgery, felt her eyes made her look tired. She also experienced difficulty keeping her left eye open by the end of the day. Seeking a natural aesthetic improvement along with functional enhancement, she underwent a staged eyelid rejuvenation. First, she had a cosmetic upper eyelid blepharoplasty and medical ptosis repair at 900 North Michigan Surgery Center. Three months later, she received a CO2 laser treatment for her lower eyelids under oral sedation and local anesthesia at the Chicago office. She was delighted with the results.

A 72-year-old retired operating room nurse with a history of dry eye and long-term hard contact lens wear was concerned about heavy eyelids and a tired appearance. She initially wanted lower eyelid surgery along with an upper blepharoplasty, but Dr. Ahmad recommended a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser treatment for her lower eyelids instead. She underwent a cosmetic upper eyelid blepharoplasty, medical ptosis repair, and CO2 laser resurfacing for the lower eyelids. The post-operative photos, taken 16 months after surgery, show excellent results. She also receives cosmetic neurotoxin treatments from Dr. Ahmad and his nurse every five months.

A 59-year-old male complained of heavy eyelids and eyebrows, feeling that his eyelids were gradually closing with age. He underwent a cosmetic upper eyelid blepharoplasty and a brow lift, with the lift strategically performed through one of his deep forehead lines. The patient was very happy with the outcome.

A 74-year-old male presented with concerns about heavy eyelids and growing lesions on his lower eyelids. He underwent a cosmetic upper eyelid blepharoplasty and a brow lift, with the removal of benign lesions from both lower eyelids. The brow lift was performed through deep forehead wrinkles to minimize visible scarring. The patient was extremely pleased with the results.
