The eyes speak volumes without saying a single word. What do your eyes tell the world? If your eyes convey perpetual tiredness even with adequate rest, an appearance older than your actual age, or a look of sickness despite good health, consider upper blepharoplasty at the offices of Dr. Adam Honeybrook in Brisbane and Sydney.
A treatment for the upper eyelid, blepharoplasty involves tightening and removing the “excess” (saggy skin folds, bulging fat pockets) from the periocular region. These excess tissues contribute to poor definition, laxity, and drooping. Dr. Honeybrook also has the considerable, trusted expertise and experience to treat even the most challenging cases, such as those patients with severe laxity that impairs function by obstructing the vision.
Dr. Honeybrook skillfully performs upper blepharoplasty to address ‘hooding’ of the upper lids, bulging fat deposits, and reduce puffiness. However, an eyebrow lift may be recommended to improve the drooping of the brows and forehead area. Another procedure commonly performed in combination is the lower blepharoplasty, which treats signs of aging and environmental damage to the lids underneath the eyes.
As with all patients and procedures at our offices, all treatment plans look different. The process is tailored to your unique needs, and we are dedicated to meeting them. As appropriate, Dr. Honeybrook may access the problematic tissues through small, easy-to-conceal incisions in the natural folds of the upper eyelids. The incisions may also need to extend beyond the outer corners of the eyes, especially among those patients with hooding underneath the eyebrow. Excess fat can be removed from the innermost corners of the eyes, and a carbon dioxide or CO2 laser may bring your stunning results to new heights by softening and resurfacing the skin in the eye region.
While upper blepharoplasty is a simple surgery well-tolerated under local anesthetic, all surgeries carry some risk. Dr. Honeybrook prides himself in clear, open communication and education. So, all patients know what to expect at every step and their responsibilities for after-care and have realistic expectations about the results/treatment outcomes. Bruising typically subsides within a few days and can be concealed with makeup, while final results become visible in a few weeks as swelling decreases. We also partner with patients on guidance to extend the results from their treatment, knowing that the clock can be reset on aging – but it can never be stopped! Please contact us today and schedule a consultation at 07 3485 0596 (Brisbane) or 02 9000 1079 (Sydney).
