Dr. Yan Wang on Plastic Surgery – Oculoplastics

The eyes are the first of the five senses and are known as the windows to the soul. Eyelid surgery occupies an important share of plastic surgery: blepharoplasty, upper lid laxity correction, brow lift, eyebrow bag correction, upper lid ptosis correction 。。。。。。 The techniques of oculoplastic surgery are complicated, delicate and meticulous, as the saying goes, “Under the willow knife, the eyes are beautiful”. Any patient who is unhappy with the appearance of his or her eyes needs a personalized solution, and there can be no one size fits all. For the surgeon, it’s not just about removing some of the tissue, but finding out why and giving the patient a pair of evocative eyes through personalized design and flexible solutions. In the case of the most common blepharoplasty, a successful blepharoplasty is not only a case of turning a single eyelid into a double, but also making the eyes look more beautiful and, most importantly, looking natural and unobtrusive. This not only requires long practice and hand skills during surgery, but is also a test of the plastic surgeon’s aesthetic skills. The author has often encountered cases in the clinic where many middle-aged and elderly friends have sagging upper eyelids, even covering their eyes and affecting their eyesight, but are too shy to seek medical treatment for fear of being laughed at by their friends and family, and have to do “double eyelids” at this age. In fact, this is a big misconception. “Upper lid laxity revision” is a procedure for middle-aged and elderly people with sagging upper lids, which is a completely different concept from “blepharoplasty” for young people. Therefore, if you have a sagging upper lid, it is recommended that you come to plastic surgery to see if you need treatment. Otherwise, if the sagging is severe, it will not only affect your beauty but also your vision over time. In conclusion, oculoplastic surgery not only makes you look younger and more beautiful, but also improves the function of your eyes. Given the variety of surgical procedures, the surgeon needs to make a clear and specific diagnosis for each patient and then develop a targeted treatment plan to create beautiful eyes after full communication with you.
