This active 57-year-old male presented to Dr. Kass only because his wife
insisted that she was no longer willing to be in the car when he was
driving. She had noticed that he no longer seemed to see the cars to the
sides of him while driving. He requested surgery on his “loose skin” to
help him see better.
Dr. Kass said that he would be happy to do his upper
eyelids but the deep lines on his forehead imparted an angry, mean
appearance and they could be softened with a forehead lift. By using an
endoscopic technique, only tiny incisions on the scalp would be
necessary and these would heal beautifully even on men with little hair
as in this patient. The patient had the surgery on his the upper eyelids
covered by his insurance, and then elected to have an endoscopic
forehead lift and his lower eyelids done at the same time. As promised,
the incisions were practically imperceptible, and the patient (and his
wife) were ecstatic both with his improved vision and with his softer
and more natural appearance.

This 69-year-old
woman presented because of drooping of her right upper lid. But she also
said that she was unhappy with the bags under her eyes and the deep
grooves in her forehead. In one operative setting, she underwent
bilateral ptosis repair of the upper eyelids, (covered by her
insurance), as well as upper and lower eyelid lifts, and endoscopic
forehead (eyebrow) lift procedures. She was amazed and delighted with
her results.

This 73-year-old
man with rheumatoid arthritis and on blood thinners stated that he had
to hold his upper lids up with his fingers to see. After discussing his
options with Dr. Kass, he elected to proceed with bilateral ptosis
repair of his upper lids, combined with upper and lower eyelid lifts,
and endoscopic forehead (eyebrow) lift procedures. Despite his male
pattern baldness, the tiny incisions in his forehead healed perfectly
and truly could not be seen. He was amazed by how much better he could
see! And about how much better he felt about himself after his surgery.

This 51-year-old
male presented for a forehead lift and for eyelid surgery. Previously,
he had had a hair transplant and was most concerned if surgery could
interfere with the results he had attained. He had also had upper and
lower eyelid lifts (blepharoplasties), and he received Restylane and
Botox injections.
After being reassured about his hair transplant, he
elected to proceed with an endoscopic forehead lift and bilateral
cosmetic upper and lower eyelid surgeries. The patient noted a
tremendous improvement in the lines on his forehead and in those on the
upper and lower eyelids. While Dr. Kass still sees him on occasion for
Botox, the frequency of these visits and the amount of Botox that he
needs are a fraction of what he needed before. As promised, he had no
problems at all from the tiny inciions near the areas previously treated
with hair transplants. He stated that he was very happy with the healing
of his incisions and, best of all, with his overall excellent results.
Without a doubt, he said, he would do it all over again if it became
necessary. But that he would only trust Dr. Kass to do any future facial
surgery because of the excellent results achieved.

EYELID PTOSIS PLASTIC SURGERY
CONGENITAL OR ACQUIRED DROOPING EYELIDS |
 |
This 75-year-old male with history of dry eye syndrome requested upper
eyelid ptosis repair (because he noticed a drop in his peripheral
vision), and cosmetic eyelid surgery. Because he was so symptomatic from
his dry eyes, Dr. Kass elected to elevate his lower eyelids at the same
time that he lifted the upper eyelids (and also removed skin and fat to
enhance appearance). The result? His palpebral aperture measurement (how
far open his eye was) remained exactly the same as before surgery and
the patient noticed no change in the dryness of his eyes. But not only
did he now notice remarkable improvement in his peripheral vision, he
also was extremely happy with the cosmetic appearance of his eyes.

This 65-year-old woman originally came in complaining
that one eye teared all of the time (epiphora). After Dr. Kass fixed
this problem for her, she returned for bilateral ptosis repair of the
upper eyelids, and cosmetic upper and lower eyelid lifts. Since then,
she has returned to Dr. Kass for a face lift and a neck lift with suture
platysmaplasty. Next, she is considering a brow lift. She returns twice
yearly for Juvederm and Botox as needed.

This 65-year-old woman complained that her eyes felt
extremely heavy while reading. She underwent bilateral ptosis repair of
her upper eyelids, and cosmetic upper and lower eyelids lifts (not
apparent in these photos, she also had face and neck lifts and a Hetter
resurfacing peel all at the same time). The patient stated that she
would do this surgery again in a heartbeat! She stated that it took 20
years off of her appearance. And she was right!

EYELID PLASTIC SURGERY OR
BLEPHAROPLASTY |
|
This 45-year-old woman presented because of sagging eyelids and her
sagging neck. She had a very “high powered” job and it was almost
impossible for her to take off from work. She had upper and lower eyelid
lifts and a Weekend Lift procedure. Dr. Kass saw her only one time after
surgery and both he and she thought her results were fabulous. At just
one week, she had a markedly improved jaw line and neck, and her eyes
appeared much more youthful and free of lines and wrinkles. At the one
week visit, the patient said that she was absolutely thrilled with her
results and that no further follow-up appointments were necessary!

Medically Necessary Ptosis Repair of Both Upper Eyelids,
Upper and Lower Cosmetic Eyelid Procedures, Endoscopic Forehead and
Midface (Cheek) Lifts, Face Lift, Neck Lift with Suture Suspension
Platysmaplasty, and Facial Resurfacing with the Hetter Chemical Peel
Procedure
This 71-year-old woman came to me complaining of her droopy upper
eyelids (Ptosis). Once she realized how much more could be done to
improve her appearance, she underwent medically necessary Ptosis repair
of both upper eyelids, upper and lower cosmetic eyelid procedures,
endoscopic forehead and midface (cheek) lifts, facelift, neck lift with
suture suspension platysmaplasty, and facial resurfacing with the Hetter
chemical peel procedure. She was thrilled!

Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery, Face Lift, Neck lift
(with liposuction and tightening of the neck muscles with suture
suspension)
This is a 71-year-old man who is working as a business consultant. He
believes that his “tired” appearance may be hurting him as he loses
clients to more youthful-looking competitors. He does not mind looking
his age and he is not trying to look like a movie star. He wants to look
more vigorous and less tired.
He was so grateful that the first person he referred to
Dr. Kass after his recovery was his wife! |
